You can use the gum I think. It's not like pills or patches but it should have the same effect. It'll be something in your mouth since you'll probably be used to having something in your mouth and you may get a little skitzy from not having something in your mouth as a result. But as for the actual addictions it'll be tough, but think about your family when you have the cravings. You'll realize that more time with tobacco means less time with them, now and before you die. They say each cigarette takes away 7 minutes of your life.

It's easy... sort of. Decide that you really want to quit. Then do it. Now. Not tomorrow. Then know that the reason you'll gain weight when you quit is because you eat to make up for the lack of a cigarettes. Make another commitment that you aren't going to do that. Whenever you need a cigatette, instead of picking up food, pick up a stick of gum and a bottle of water. I did it in 1978 and haven't smoked siince. Decide and committ. Period.
Good luck.

Quit "Cold Turkey" is the only way. Try to not continue in your old habits such as Smoking after eating. When you finish a meal get up from the table and get busy doing something to take your mind off smoking. It's called a life style change, you can do it!
GOOD LUCK

My Mom smoked...And she was allergic to the pills and patches so our doctor recomended chewing gum when you feel the need for a cigerette. Whenever she felt like somking she took out some gum and exercised. if it was raining she would watch t.v. or do anything to keep herself occupied

Quitting smoking is a whole lot easier than dying of lung cancer.
