I am IBS-C mostly and I smoked lightly for many years. I used it as a way to time bowel movements. I would smoke before leaving the house so that everything would move through while I was close to the loo. I finally just quit cold turkey because my lungs wanted me to quit. But in some ways quitting made controlling my symptoms more difficult. Still, I am glad I quit!

You can do it! Aside from the health benefits of not smoking, think of the money you'll save and can use for the better! I quit smoking back in '92 (I quit cold turkey when a guy I was about to kiss scoffed and said I smelled like a chimney--I was 17, what'd you expect?!) and what I found the hardest was not the actual smoking, but the habit of smoking i.e. after drinks, after eating, after a fight, after sex, etc... It's the habit of smoking that's the challenge, at least IMO.
So having said that, go for it! It'll be for the better.
