Anybody got any suggestions on how to quit smoking? I've been doing it since I was 15 and I'm 24 now. I smoke a pack a day and I really want to quit. I'm trying to get pregnant so I know I need to and now's the time. Cold Turkey didnt work for me even though that may be the best way to go. It seems like I'll quit for a day or so then something I consider to be "hectic" happens and I feel like I cant concentrate or fix whatever problem I'm having until I smoke. All idea's would be helpful and I'll definatly take into consideration. Thanks. (link)

I tried a lot of things, but the gum was the only thing that really worked. It is still really easy to slip up if you have a bad day or are around friends who smoke. Just don't go out and buy yourself a pack when you want just one, see if you can just bum one- otherwise you'll smoke the whole pack (because it's there) and be back to square one. Another tip when you first start to quit- go away someplace new, like on vacation. The change of environment will disrupt your regular habits and it's easier to just not smoke and use the gum instead. When you get back, you've alread past the physical withdrawl stage and all your craving will be only pyschological.
