How to stop smoking?

[Robbo]

I quit almost three months ago after smoking a pack a day for about 25 years. I used the nicorette gum. I tried not knowing what to expect and it did enough to take the physical cravings away. The rest is all mental and changing habits and thinking. You do need to truly want to quit. I was hardcore too as far as being a smoker. I still smoke herb but that is so much easier to stop I sat from experience! I still had a few tough days even chewing the nicotine gum in the second month but I was home alot!. Being winter and I stay home taking care of two kids under 4. Probably not the best time to quit but if I did it unde those circumstances I should have a good shot at staying off them.

After that, I packed on about 50-60 lbs, I am currently still trying to get rid of.

I can eventually drop the fat. Getting rid of lung cancer is a bit more difficult.

I do smoke cigars when I drink or play poker.

I know several people who took Wellbutrin and that made quitting much easier with no cravings.

You have to *really* want to quit though, not just think it's a good idea to get around to "someday". It might be easier to do right after a nasty cold when you haven't smoked for a day or two... gives you a headstart. Good luck. The tobacco companies are rich enough, keep your money.
