See the movie "Dead Again." You will quit immediately. Best of luck.

Well the big 3 are Winston-Salem, RJ Reynolds (Camels), and Phillip Morris (Marlboro, I think PM just changed their name). Beside the brands we all associate with them these guys account for probably 80% of the brands smoked (most of the "generic" smokes are made by PM). I can see PM getting into it since they are the biggest of the big dogs and the one most frequently targetted by the health nazis.

As a reformed smoker myself I empathize with your habit. When I quit cold turkey in '79 my doctor told me that I would have to substitute one addiction for another. I started running every day first a half mile then gradually up to 5 miles a day. The first 6 weeks were tough. I played on my own ego and bragged to everyone in my office that I quit and would never pick them up again. I didn't. If I can quit any one can. And believe me it was very hard at first. I went through a pack of chewing gum a day and thought I was going to cough up my cajones while I was quitting. But I did it and believe you me I feel and look ten years younger. The only "cure" besides will power I know of is hypnosis. Best of luck and yes you can just never, never, never give up. After about a month you will be free and your lungs will thank you for it.

I tried tobacco free cigarettes many years ago and couldn't smoke even half a pack. I finally did quit a few years later by following advice in a book I read (wish I could remember the name, but I can't). It had a list of every brand sold at that time sorted by nicotine content. The idea was to switch to a brand that delivered slightly less nicotine, acclimate to that for a month or two, and then take another step down. By the time I got to Carltons (at that time the lowest)I managed to quit after a few months on them. I guess you could get the same info from the packs. The secret is to move down in small steps. Good luck.

I think allot of it is the motions you become accustomed to while smoking and such

you could try the Nicotrol inhaler, which gives you something to do with your hands while you suck on nicotine, which is the drug to which you are addicted.

There is also a prescription nicotine nasal spray....you spray your nose each time you want a cig and get the nicotine that way without the other dangerous stuff

Or, just quit.

Take a hair off the tail of a horse.
Insert it all the way into the cigarette.
Light, smoke and enjoy!
You'll never smoke again!

True, individual experiences vary. I was just quoting generalities. I was a light smoker in my early 20's & quitting was hard--it took a few attempts, but I succeeded. I quit drinking coffee last year too - now that was tough!

Good luck with staying off the evil weed. One day at a time...

I know people who swear by hypnosis. They said it was their last resort, and by gosh, it worked.

I quit smoking with the nicorette gum. I am now totally hooked on the gum, but haven't gained any weight, and that's a good thing.

The nagging twitch is still there (which tells you something since nicotine is out of your body completely in about 72 hours) but I just keep giving it the finger.

My grandfather quit on a bet, after smoking for 20 years. Up until the day he left this earth, he would have dreams about smoking. He was an alcoholic and quit that too, but never had the desire to return to the bottle as much as he did the pack.
