[QUOTE="Pinkorchid, post: 1047650, member: 166283"] I went cold turkey after 40 years of smoking I never tried before didn't think I had the will power to do it but one day I decided I would give up and I never smoked another cigarette that's over ten years ago now since I stopped. I did not find it that difficult really no where near like I thought it would be I surprised myself. I chewed normal chewing gum the few times in the first couple of weeks that I got a craving after that I didn't need it. I didn't want to use any nicotine replacement stuff as I think they just remind you all the time how much you enjoyed smoking. I think the reason some people put on weight is that they do eat a lot of sweets etc to replace the cigarettes I never had a really sweet tooth so didn't do that and I didn't put on any weight. If you really want to give up that is more than half the battle so stay determined think of the extra money you will have to spend and you can do it. Good luck I do believe that if there is no family or friends around you who smokes then it is easier I know that it helped me. My husband gave up smoking over 30 years ago and none of my 3 children or grown up grandchildren smoke. It is amazing how soon after you give it up that you find the smell of cigarette smoke really horrible [/QUOTE]
