well... it seems you have a reaction to some component in what you are smoking. THat didn't seem to be the real question.
On cigarette/nicotine addiction... several parts.
1) being really motivated to quit (sounds like)
2) nicotine replacement by a non-plant (pure nicotine in patch or gum is better than an E-cig In Your Situation).
3) ...various other features I do not have space for here, but would love to go thru in great detail with a direct=to=me question if that is possible.
