Ok I have gone 2 weeks with no smoking. It was a little easier than I thought it was going to be. I started 2 weeks ago with the nicotrol inhaler. Let me tell you it worked wonders for me. First it gives you something to do with your hands because you hold it like a cigarette. Plus you absolutly cannot smoke while you are on it because that can cause an overdose so that is an incentive not to smoke. After the first week I started to hate the way the inhaler tasted in my mouth. So I cut down that too and now I am off it and off cigarettes. Oh I still would like one but the habit and craving is getting easier. Gum really helps with this also. It is expencive but most insurance companies will pay for most of it. If anyone tires it I wish you luck cause it worked for me. So far.
