i tried every mentioned step above. i'm to the point where i will smoke roughly a pack's worth on the weekend while bumming cigs out. not perfect but better than 4 packs a week, and cheaper. as for chew it is also about a tin a week and really attracts the ladies

Most of the advice people give towards quitting smoking deals with the physical, and my problem was that I wanted a cigarette as a knee-jerk response to stress. I would be okay having said quit, until i got in a fight with someone close to me, for example. In that six months I was never able to find something that could give me quick stress relief, as this was my main trigger. So its brought me back to where I started. I relapsed, and relapsed, and relapsed again, and before I knew it, I was once again a smoker.

I bought a huge bag of Dum-Dums and toted some around with me at parties. When I wanted to smoke I popped one of those suckers in my mouth and it took care of my oral fixation.

With the smoking ban, if you want a fag on a night out you have to shiver outside the doorway, in hailing rain which systematically puts said fag out. Oh and most people will also give you dirty "you've-got-herpes"-type looks if you light up around them.

I'm also trying to quit… actually, on saturday I had my first cigarrete in WEEKS. I really wanted one, and since I hadn't smoked in so long I allowed myself to have one… sadly I had to buy a pack, so I've had a couple of cigs today, too. I can't help it, if I have some, I'll smoke them. I guess I'll just have to finish the pack, hopefully it'll last a few days… and then not buy one for another couple of weeks.

It's so hard.. But keep up the good work and I'll be reading all of your updates – It's nice to go through it with someone!!

Here is an unconventional approach, tell yourself that you don't have to quit smoking. You just have to give it up until you are 75. By telling yourself that it is not forever, it makes all the difference in the world. Trust me, it is extra hard living in north caroline when you can smell the tobacco blossoming.

Good Luck
