10 years ago I quit smoking. I don't recommend doing it this way, but I started chewing tobacco. I didn't like it, didn't care for the taste, but for some reason, it let me break the mental habits of having a cigarette every so often, and the hand movements, etc. About a year later, I was planning on having Lasik eye surgery. They recommended no nicotine/caffeine for 24 hours prior and 7 days after. I gave caffeine up for the next year, and never picked up nicotine again. There is probably a few reasons why you smoke. Just remember, you probably like all of them. Start to figure out how to remove and replace them. And keep trying to quit. At some point it will work. I probably tried to quit 200 times cold turkey, 2 or 3 times with medication, and maybe a dozen times with patches.
