Quit Smoking?
Sgt Sethalas:
If you cave in again, or the craving becomes unbearable, get an e-cig. Vaping worked for me... I haven't lit up once since the day I bought it.
YumYumMix:
u should try to use the nicotine patch

Just be strong. I went from a pack of cigarettes a day to a half pack a week. The hardest part for me is to not smoke while drinking beer, but all the other cigarettes are easy to skip. But if I really want it I could quit them, but I don't want it that hard.
Good luck man! It's hard but definitely worth it!!

I think it all depends on what type of smoker you are like the motion of moving something back and forth to your mouth or by something Rachel said, location.
I still smoke the most when I'm driving. I desperately need one when I know I can't smoke.
My job eliminated smoking for all employees so our Insurance Premium would go down. I used to smoke at least 5 cigs while I was at work. I can now work a 12 hours shift without even craving one.
What sucks is as soon as I pull out of the employee parking lot I light up a cigarette. Try what Rachel suggests, stay away from trigger locations. I obviously can't avoid my car but I used to smoke a pack a day and a pack usually lasts me about a week and a half now.

Jean you need to have something else like to keep you from lighting up in the car.
I'd suggest something that would take you most of your trip home to eat or drink.
Concentrate on the item and enjoy each thing you like about it.
For instance let's say it's carrots.
Think first of the pretty orange color, nice texture, crunchy, taste how much you have to chew it.
Anything to keep you from thinking of cigs.
