Today is exactly 19 years since I quit. I don't miss it at all! What a nasty, dirty, smelly, expensive habit. UGH! I can't believe I did it for so long - 18 years! I used Nicorette gum to quit and then had to quit that stuff too. Nicotine is one dangerous drug! It's not easy, but it's doable. I switched addictions after that and started working out like a fiend. I did not gain weight when I quit smoking, It can be done.

Cinnamon helps too - I chewed tons of cinnamon gum. It helps lessen the cravings. Some people chew on cinnamon sticks. There's something in the spice that really does work.
