I quit in 88 -hey rotorhead, we're old farts-, and here is how i did it. Back in those days niccorette was prescribed, but expensive as hell. I never liked chewing gum continuosly and noticed that chewing niccorette for a few hours would leave me with no desire to even talk. So i switched to chewing gum. Everytime i wanted to smoke, i'd pop a new piece of gum. By the 4-5 hours of doing this with a about 8 pieces in, you want nothing to do with a cigarette, believe me. Did this for less than 2 weeks and just quit that way. One note though, watch your appetite, as your body will start to crave all kinds of things at all kinds of hours. You will gain weight but just watch it.
To the future grandpa, congrats. The best thing about grankids, you can always send them back home.
Btw, I'm grateful that today is another sunny, cloudless, low 60s day in FL.
