fat free hard candies ( i preferred jolly ranchers as opposed to overpowering sickening sweet mints) will help with the physical aspects of the habit.......
when i was working in a shop we would all buy a "shop pack" every once in a while, if someone ran out they could grab one til they got to the store at lunch, I had quit buying packs for 3 days and needed to hit the gas station on the way home, but since i was fiending hard I knew I would end up buying another, then I saw the shop pack and popped a quick smoke to hold me over so I could resist the temptation at the store, turns out the "shop pack" had been opened 2 weeks prior and was stale, in addition to being cheap ass ghetto smokes in the first place, 3 puffs in I was green and sick to my stomach, haven't touched a smoke since (8 years i think)

wow jolly ranchers ! good idea ,thanks kracker
Hey good luck I heard that it is really hard to quite smoking and he also said that there is a 5 day wait after five days you dont have a craving as much as you would now.
i've also heard a hot bath of epsom salts will leach the nicotine out through the skin and make you crash harder, cold turkey is the only way, lock yourself in your house if you have to, see it as a test of willpower/manhood, AND DON'T PICK UP A PACK WHEN YOU GO BUY THOSE JOLLY RANCHERS!!
lol fair play to ya for trying,i've been a heavy smoker for 18years now & tried to quit A LOAD of times.my record time without a smoke i managed 6 days,that was about 10years back & BOY was i a cunt to be around lol,after the 3rd day my best mate & pub crawling sidekick decided it best if i never went to the pub for a while case i took it out on some poor guy while out.i eventualy caved on the 6th day i just didnt have the will power to quit.
since then i cant go more than a few hrs without a smoke unless i'm stoned on weed,next time i try & quit i'll do it stoned & ease off the fags gradually,only downside i Do love my weed so i'd still end up smoking at some point anyway unless i stick to using on my bong which aint the same as a nice long bifta.
Good Luck.

Cold Turkey is not as delicious as it sounds. Keep at it though.
You're right, it is the only way to go. Proove how strong willed you are.

Jolly Ranchers ftw
Good luck with breaking the habit man. My dad was a smoker, and he quit... wasn't easy, at one point he started smoking again. But its true, cold turkey is the simplest albeit most difficult way to stop. Just think whenever you have a craving "oh I don't smoke anymore".

love the sig pic smitty
I've been smoking since I was 15ish (I am now 23).
I think the best way to quit smoking is whenever you get a craving, just run your ass off around the block or whatever and the craving is gone. The last thing you'd want is a cigeratte. Lather, rinse and repeat.

I'm not a hard candy fan so i used Sunflower seeds or Tootsie Pops....gotta keep the hands busy.
Good shit! Hope it goes well!
nether smoked nether will. and good luck
I smoke like a freight train. No plans on quitting anytime soon either, I enjoy my smokes.
