Since it took me almost a year to wean down from 2 packs to 1/2 pack a day, totally quitting won't be my New Year's resolution, but quitting before I go to Playa will definitely be my goal!!!!

The weight gain is more controllable than the physical addition of nicotine.
Try not to substitute one undesireable behavior for another one. Choose ahead of time what you want to do instead of smoking, before you decide to quit. Many successful quitters substitute exercise, painting, learning a muscial instrument, or doing something that they enjoy doing instead of smoking.
One of the underlying goals here is to increase ones self-confidence...not decrease it.
