I smoked since i was about 14-15, im 40 now and hope to quit (again) tomorrow or once what i got is finished.
I always found the best way is just to go cold turkey and not touch it at all. I stopped smoking at work over 12yrs ago when i had a job in a mine so we couldnt smoke while underground for safety reasons. Lots of guys stuck homemade flavoures tobacco under their bottom lip while at work and i did try it once but it burns the hell out of your mouth i found so i didnt take that up. They all said you got used to it and the burn went away but it wasnt for me, especially after seeing photos of folk with mouh cancer from it.
I did go thro a few months of using menthol tobacco snuff which i admit i did kinda get a liking for but i also quit that cos i felt it prob did more harm than the cigs did, it was nice tho at the time i thought.
Now i only smoke at night and roll my own "special blend" (if you know what i mean
) but im at the age now i want to stop it all so plan on stopping by tomorrow for at least a while. I wont say i will never smoke again but i dont plan on doing it regularly ever again.
I always find the 1st 2 wks are the worst, get to week 3 and its all in the mind after that. I just take it one day at a time or even 1hr at a time if i need to. It is hard but the benefits of not inhaling poison, even if it is good, is well worth the effort.
Im gonna be a bitch to live with the next few weeks........
