I have not smoked in five months. Nicoderm CQ helped take the edge off. Also buy losts of bubble gum. Stay away from anything excitable (for me really good action films, solved by going to theater) or situations where you know you might want to smoke heated debates and the like. If you live with another smoker good luck to you that will be a true test of will power!! Remember to make it your decision and that you will pick the time you quit just keep trying if it fails dont give up!!!
P.S. Hope this helped pep talks never worked for me personally.
Another thing that helped is more money toward the computer!!
