PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!

The smoking cessation classes at my work have people try both using the patch and gum if you are a heavy smoker. They have a pretty good success rate. Also you could talk to your doctor about putting you on wellbutrin it helps with the cravings and stress. Good luck and you can do it!

Very hard, but you can do it.... I used Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, I put a capful in my water bottles and drank it non stop. I also would do a shot if the craving got so bad that I was going to smoke otherwise. I have quit before, but this was so much easier without so much suffering, and it really helped eliminate the cravings. The emotional part was the hardest for me this time. I went from laughing to crying to laughing to crying about every hour... this also stopped in about a week.

My Great Grandpa quit very late in life. He cut back with the help of hard candy and 50 lb bags of in-shell pecans. Instead of sitting outside smoking, we'd ship massive bags of pecans to him when they were in season (from a local orchard), and he'd sit for hours unshelling them to perfection. He refused to use a nutcracker--just a light hammer and a sort of pick. He insisted on getting every half out in complete piece. Come Thanksgiving and Christmas, he'd have mason jars full of perfectly shelled pecans that he'd gift to people. He lived to be 94 years old and died of a brain aneurysm. Autopsy revealed he also had very advanced lung cancer even though no one knew it. (FYI his nonsmoking cousin? lived to be 107).

As for Grandpa, he ended up in the hospital with pneumonia one winter. The nurses forced him to quit cold turkey and from what I understand it wasn't fun. BUT once he got out he stuck with it. Hasn't smoked since even though I know he wants to sometimes.
