I really do want to quit . . . but, like a lot of women, we're afraid of the weight gain! I think weaning is the best way for me. Besides, it's sooooooooo expensive! $5.00 a pack here in Michigan, about $45.00 a carton.

They are ten bucks a pack here.
I don't mind, actually, as it keeps me to only a pack a week; hard to justify spending ANY money on smokes, but I really can't justify spending more than that.
Weight gain is actually only an average of 5 pounds, I read somewhere, and most people end up taking that off within a year after they quit.
Of course there are notable exceptions to that, I know someone who gained 40 pounds. Not sure their health was overall any better.
If weight gain is a concern, Zyban might work for you- I actually lost weight on it, it's a common side effect of the drug. Also sleeplessness and hallucinogenic dreams, but nothing's perfect.
