You mentioned using Trident gum. I should pass on my secret weapon!
I chew on cinnamon sticks! They taste great, no calories, feel like a
cigarette, and you can even puff on it… sometimes the deep breath helps
to calm the nerves.

Give it a shot if you like cinnamon.

P.S. Don’t buy them in the spice rack at the grocery store – way too
expensive (almost as much as smokes!). I buy them in bulk at a produce
retailer.

Hi Lisa,
I know what it’s like to be a smoker and want to quit,
It’s easier said then done.
I’ve tried just about everything to quit, I just get so stressed
out sometimes thats the first thing I go for.
I have the eye disease and I know very well that smoking
is only making things worst, But I am doing eveything in my
power to quit. There’s such a stigma with smoking now, I
Don’t blame people for being disgusted with it.
I’m disappointed in myself every time I light up.
It’s going to be difficult, but I’m sure not impossible right?
I’ve had doctors tell me it’s very hard to quit under stressful
conditions,if I listen to that I’ll be smoking until the day I die,
which wouldn’t be long I’m sure since lung cancer is prominent in
my family. I’m just not going to quit quitting, Right now I say
thank God for Trident gum!
Anyway good luck, don’t give up,
Shannon.
