I quit, cold turkey 10 years ago and it was very tough but I managed.
One thing that helped me believe it or not was Extra Strength Fisherman's Friend lozenges.
I don't know why but the feeling when you breathe in seemed to get rid of the cravings. Pretty wierd huh??
I had my last smoke on January 10th 1999, so I will be nicotene free for ten years in a few weeks.
Now if I could only get rid of the extra 100 pounds I gained since I quit!!!!!
One more thing, food and beer taste much better and you can smell again. Plus you find out how repulsive smoking makes you smell when you are not smoking any more. When someone who smokes walks by you after you have been off smokes for a while it smells like a dirty old ashtray walking by!!!
