I bet that stressful transitions make it hard to quit smoking or not pick up the habit again. I think about that when I start really getting into school- or if finances get really tight...but then I keep telling myself how much money I will save- that $100/mo. is much needed. And I think of my son. And my health. And smelling the slightest bit like smoke when massaging clients.
I smoke most when I am bored or very stressed. So I understand that when you are away from your hubby- it's like a replacement. But, if I were you, I'd find a healthy activity to replace it. Join a gym, go jogging, pick up a sport, paint, write...you don't have to be good at it, but at least you are doing something to keep occupied and releases your stress and anxieties in a healthy way. I know that I will be plenty busy with school, so that will help a bit. But keeping active helps you keep your mind off of it.
