I'm trying to quit but it's waaaay harder than I expected! If any of you quit already how did you deal with the cravings and stuff??

Ummm...I have basically quit since I got pregnant, it was SO tough at first though. I'll tell you what helped amazingly, it was the electronic cigg. It was like smoking without the whole cancer part, and it really helped me just taper off naturally. I just started smoking less and less, and then I just kind of quit without even noticing. In my opinion, def worth the $$.

Good luck!

electric cig is expensive. Im gonna try the gum and patches and see how it goes.

^^I heard the gum makes people throw up and the patch makes people pass out for no reason

I never heard it but I dont dismiss that possibility. Of course not everything works for everyone. Im gonna try it though. Its not the smoking part thats hard, its the withdrawel.

same here.stupid or not smoking is one of the reasons i bother getting up every day.i've tried gum in the past bu didn really help.its not the lack of nicotine but the lack of the feeling that smoking gives.its all brain staff again

i stopped about 2 years ago now, smoked for 8 years, two reasons why i stopped 1 was because in Ireland they stopped selling packs of 10 and two the price of them now. I got up one day and said ok thats it i'm done and that was it. I stopped did'nt use any other aids whatsoever just will power it was hard for the first while and i was like a demon without the nicotine lol but then after a while the cravings went and the times i did want to smoke i said to meself "ahh its been a month now mite as well see if i can make it two" and so forth. So will power is all i owe my success to stopping smoking.
