Try e-cig to get you over the hump.

I cut down and then when I was ill, I did not feel like smoking for a day. The next day I did feel like one but chose not to. To be honest I do not feel better for it, I just do not like being addicted and knowing it.

I never got addicted. I think some people have a tobacco gene and some don't.

I am the same I smoked sometimes when I drank in college but thats it.

I went cold turkey after years of smoking. Didn't try to replace the stuff with anything--I knew I was addicted to the ritual as much as the nicotine.

I still miss smoking. I have the tobacco gene Lit mentioned, I think.

This is what worries me. I'm afraid I'll go completely neurotic, and munch down chocolates or something.
Sometimes I am extremely bored, and that doesn't exactly help.

Same here. Smoking tasted good, and was a great way of avoiding stinging eyes because of the smoke of others. But, never had more than one cigarette on an evening, never have craved for one.
Don't think I have an alcohol gene either.

I smoke the occasional menthol.  Consulate brand.


Erratic smoker, me.   Once in a while.  Probably 5 a week.

Although when i am stressed i keep lighting up then stubbing it after one drag.  perhaps i like to waste money?

I quit a couple months ago I slowly tapered how much I smoked.  My motivation was high blood pressure.

[McGiver]

It has been about 11 months since i Quit smoking.

I began by using chantix.  At first I had really lucid dreams.  Fortunately for me they were sex dreams.  I quit about a month into taking the drug.  At this time I started carrying Colgate Wisps with me.  If I had an unusually strong craving to both satisfy he hand to mouth addiction an to change he flavor in my mouth.
I quit chantix six months after I officially quit. By this time I was becoming paranoid and extremely angry.

BIL tried that, turned him into a monster so he couldn't continue on it.

I was the occasional party smoker, never anything more...I'd snitch a menthol from someone here and there that was about it.

[McGiver]

BIL? Brother in law?

I guess I got lucky that the early side effects were wet drums an I didn't have the bad stuff for months.

It's easier if you consciously try to change your rituals and come up with things to do instead of smoking a reward cigarette. And I mean things to *do*, not stuff to eat.
