I quit 9 months ago cold turkey. I caught bronchitis and didn't want to/couldn't smoke for about 5 days then never picked one up after. It was a little tough since the husband still smokes, but I was determined and stubborn. One thing that helped with the hand to mouth thing in the beginning was Twizzlers.
They are chewy enough that they take several minutes to eat if you eat them slowly. They helped me A TON!!! Also, I did it completely opposite of Gina. After the first 2 days, I just told myself it was stupid to smoke, because I wasn't a smoker anymore.
Any way you do it, good luck!!
