Not saying it works or anything, but my best friends moms boyfriend smoked cigs for 30+ years and got hypnotized and stopped like it was nothing.

Every time you get a craving though go and throw 7 or 8 dollars in a jar(pack of cigs), and after a while you will have some brewing cash saved up. Then you won't even think about buying a pack when 3 packs could be a new 5 gallon brew!

Plus.... when those temps in phoenix rise for summer, it makes it really rough to smoke cigs, unless you stink up the house. Having the smoke out in 115 degrees really help me quit

edit: Good luck though!!!!

good job!

deciding to quit is the hardest part I think. After that its a mental challenge to stick with it.

I quit chewing over a year ago after seeing the bodies exhibit in Vegas. Seeing what tobacco does to your body, it became easy to quit. I miss it sometimes, but have stuck with it.

Cheers!

Every time you wanna light up think of how you can spend the money on brewing instead..

I'm off them 6-7 years now, I can't even really remember to be honest it's so long now.

I used Nicotine replacement in the form of a Nicorette inhaler and it helped me beat the actual smoking habit and then a few weeks later I dealt with the nicotine withdrawals, I found it a lot easier that way.
I think the nicotine replacement courses are illegal in the US, which is a pity, cos they do help.

Joe, the beer will start tasting better as your taste buds come back. Good luck.

I wish you the best of luck. I keep telling myself that I'll quit too. I usually get a week and then fail. My work has a smoke room where I always take my breaks and that makes it very hard for me to quit.

Sunflower seeds worked for me. I kept sunflower seeds everywhere. Everytime I got the urge I threw a handful in.

I believe this is also the key to successfully quitting. You gotta be doing it because you want to.

On the other hand, the little ones can be quite an influence. I couldn't imagine how that'd pull on the ole' heart strings

My uncle did something similar to help. It was the nicotine that was a problem but just the oral fixation. He carried a bag of mini carrots around with him. He just needed that hand to mouth routine.



Good luck. +1 to the beer starting to taste better. You should brew an honorary "Welcome Home Taste buds" beer

So...Very...True.

I curse the day I lit up for the first time (after my damn Statistics 308 final sophore year in college)...

It's coming very near for me...cig tax in RI just went up to the highest in the nation...a 'buy 1 get 1 free' pack of Parliaments was $12. Jesus...

I know a few people who have had success using Chantix to quit. I'm four weeks into it, and it has been remarkable. Much easier this time around than when I tried to quit with the patch.
