I crave cigarettes when I drink, I want to quit smoking without quitting drinking. Any suggestions?

Question

I used to be a regular smoker, and smoked rather heavily when I would go out drinking, I have no problem not smoking when I'm not drinking. I've been cutting down on the drinking in an attempt to quit smoking. But when I do drink, all I want to do is smoke, I end up bumming smokes off of people. I really would appreciate any suggestions from those who have gone through the same thing. Thanks.

Answer 1

Drinking is one of your triggers, so you have to break that trigger, just like some people associate a cup of coffee with a cig, or driving, or break at work etc.
There's a lot of free info plus a great course to break your habit and the associations you have, here: http://www.quitguide.com

When you know these facts, quitting is not that hard anymore.

Smoking will damage blood vessels in the penis and will shorten the penis and ultimately lead to impotence. This is all real. Canada and Australia alread force "Smoking can lead to impotence" label on cigarette box.
