So I made it my one New year's resolution to quit smoking (8 years mostly a pack a day). But in the last week I've had such a ROUGH case of late night snacking and my normal go to's ( water, tea, light exercise) just aren't working.

I'm not looking for a miracle answer, and I do realize that most of this lies with my will power but it's pretty darn difficult to say no to junk food when I'm busy saying no to smoking.


Thanks for any imput or suggestions!

    Read Finally Free or Stop Smoking the Easy Way, both by Allen Carr. You'll be able to quit without the misery and struggle, and without eating as a substitution. Seven weeks smoke free after 12 years of a pack and a half per day.

    Some people I know have found these helpful .....

    Snacking on sunflower seeds in the shell
    E cigarettes - order online, just liquid tobacco that you heat up and breathe in.
    Herbal cigarettes - from health food stores

    Later two options are free of chemicals and still enable you to perform the motions of smoking a cigarette without the nasty side effects.

    Good luck!!!

    I quit 3 years ago and every time I wanted one, I cleaned something. Sounds crazy but from dressers to closets to the attic whatever I had been ignoring or didn't want to deal with I finally took care of it. In time the urge passes. I smoked outside so it being really cold helped too!
