Joe, very sorry to hear of the setback. Hang in there my friend. Things will get better.
As for the smoking thing. Yes, it's possible. I found out that I had high blood pressure. Doc said it was from smoking 2 packs a day. Said I needed to stop if I wanted to live. I stopped that night after smoking almost 40 years. (Smoked since I was 13 years old).
That was 20 plus years ago.
Yes, it's possible to stop like that. it's called will power. You simply tell yourself that you don't do that anymore when you get the urge to light up. And yes, since nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known, and since your body never looses it's craving for it, I still get the urge to smoke every now and then. You just have to say no.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
