I try to quit so many times... and I finally did after I start exercise and eat healthy...I used to be a swimmer and triathlete when I was younger and pick up the habit of smoking when I go to college... and stop sports... so many times I promise my boy that I quit and end up smoking behind his back at work... I am not proud of it at all... and feel guilty everyday. At last, I decide to join a

My aunt liked lemon drops - so we bought her lots and lots of sugar free lemon drops. She said every time she felt like a smoke - she chose one of those instead. She had been a heavy smoker for years. And it helped her quit. I would suggest getting a sugar free candy to your liking and give it a whirl.

Don't try to just quit, try to cut back little by little. If you smoke a pack a day, then work on only 1/2 a pack a day, then only 1/3...and so on and so forth... Another tip i've heard also is that you can try keeping the cigarettes in a different place from your lighter or matches. that way it's extra work to have one, say if you're sitting down watching TV you don't want to get up or something
