Hi Lori,
Going through each stage or activity of life for the first time without a smoke is usually difficult..your first road trip in a car without a smoke, your first vacation without cigs, your first time sitting in a bar and having a drink without smoking, and the first time studying for finals without nicotine. What everyone has said is very true..the breaks, retaining knowlege, and add to that the knowledge that nicotine is an addictive drug. It is an abusive relationship. It slowly chokes us, makes us sedentary, kills us; and we have the priviledge of paying for them also! Calm down and prepare to study with some gum, suckers, ice water, sunflower seeds, whatever helps you. That all consuming WANT for a cig will pass whether you smoke or not. Do something nice for yourself for getting through that first day of studying without nicotine. That is a wonderful accomplishment...be proud of yourself.
