I'd try to quit and not smoke for a month or even 2 months at a time then I'd get pulled back in. I tried various products for smoking cessation and while many worked they just didn't work well enough, and every time I'd go back to tobacco I'd feel guilty. My doctor said "Just keep trying because no matter how many times you go back there are a few weeks when you're smoke free and that's go to be an advantage. One day you'll quit and not go back." I was over 2 packs a day and one day I got to coughing and hacked up something that looked like it came from another planet. I looked at it and said "I need to quit and NOW. If I don't I am going to DIE" So I ripped the filter off every smoke I found in the house and ran the cigs down the garbage disposal. I washed all my clothes, cleaned the house within an inch of its life and aired the place out. I have not touched tobacco since and am now smoke free for 16 years. Yeah I know.. I used to hate the smug bastards who'd brag about quitting cold turkey myself. But my point is when it came to smokes I had no willpower at all so if I can do it, (weakling that I am), then YOU can do it too. Cold turkey is really the only way I have found which works... and it's the cheapest method as well. Here's wishing all smokers the best of luck for a smoke free tomorrow. I smoked for over 30 years.

I'm researching a new product possibility; the product would be a "Quit Smoking" aide that offers a stepping down approach. I am a former smoker myself but I'm addicted to Commit lozenges and they contain nicotine. I would still buy them if they had zero mg of nicotine but they don't offer that. I would like to market a product that does. Anyways, I made this survey for my research project and it would really help me if anyone could take it [smokers, former smokers, and non-smokers are all welcome] Thanks so much. -- Casey Here's the link to the survey. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/206243/r2zgt Hi, I’m a student at Metro State of Denver.

However, what happens if you get addicted to smoking lettuce? You would then have to order $100 worth of smokes every time you find yourself running short. And has anyone thought of the long term effects? What about the side effects after, lets say, 5 years? The drug companies do intensive research on long term effects before releasing a product. The same should apply to this product. Zeke Very interesting stuff. However, what happens if you get addicted to smoking lettuce?

I stopped smoking nicotine cigarettes 4 days ago and have only smoked bravo smokes when I felt cravings. So far it looks like I may be quiting as I have not had any thoughts of going to the store to buy normal cigarettes. Whenever the urge to smoke strikes met I lite up a bravo. So far so good - I think this holds a lot of promise and it looks like this makes it easy to quit smoking. Just got a carton of bravos.
