If I was in your position I think I'd not worry too much about quitting. Cigarettes are the least of your worries. Besides, you don't need the added stress and distraction of trying to quit.
But, once you are safe at home it might be easier for you.

I tried every method known to man and could not quit. I don't know if it is a "you won't quit til you are ready" thing or what but nothing worked for me.
I then tried the new drug Chantix. It works directly on the pleasure center of the brain that is affected by nicotine. I took the drug for two weeks and realized I had cut my smoking in half. I don't think I did that on a conscious level either. It just happened. I took the drug for seven weeks then decided on a quit day. I took the drug for a couple days after I quit smoking then quit the drug also.
I realized in those last few days that I was putting the smoke out before it was finished. I'd find myself looking at the damn thing and thinking, "this tastes like sh*t" then put it out, LOL.

I am not going to say it is easy, it isn't. But it is getting easier every day. I still get the craving, especially in the morning when I have that first cup of coffee. Or, after a meal. All those times that you always have a smoke.
Hell, it even hits me at odd times. I'll be doing something and my hand will go to the shirt pocket. I'll get the craving. But, I just close my eyes and take a few deep breaths and tell myself it will pass. And it does.

Hang in there Steve. Then, quit for your kid if you can't quit for yourself. Kids that grow up in a non-smoking house have a better chance of never starting smoking. Plus, they do get affected by second hand smoke.

Stay safe buddy.
