Same here!! 3 months stopped now. I didn't think I could do it as during 'full on' sessions I was smoking 30 a day easily. I have taken to eating instead...and chewing gum replaces cigarettes in the studio. grudge

Mixing is also the time when it's hardest to remember why you stopped, IMO!! Even when I was a smoker I could easily snap when mixing;-
(drummer: I can't hear the kick...
me: get out now, I'll tell you when you can come back in..., etc..)

I'm worse now, but healthier....

Personally, I like the band/artist to be on call for me when I need them, and spend the rest of the time on my own as much as possible.
