As I said above, knitting and sewing worked for me. Worry beads might work. Jigsaws? Endless games of Solitaire with real cards?  Building models (aircraft etc)? Basketwork?  :crazy:  :lol: As for nibbles - cubes of cheese, sticks of celery, strips of peppers or carrots, baby toms - anything low-carb that you can prepare, put into a bowl and just nibble at.  Doesn't have to be sweets!Above all, take it one day at a time. If you give in and have one, don't beat yourself up. Put it behind you and start again.DON'T BUY ANY! (Yes, that was a shout). Ask your smoker friends not to offer you one - price they are at the moment, your friends will soon stop offering if you don't reciprocate.Put the money that you would have spent on ciggies, away somewhere. Every now and again get it out and count it. If you manage for six months, treat yourself to a holiday - you'll probably have saved enough. (I ought to do that with red wine  :lol: )Viv  8)</blockquote>
