Smoke addict

i like you are a smoker. and i have tried to quit on patches, found out i did not have enough of a dose. But my problem is i like the TASTE of the smokes. Not doing it cuz i am so stressed out and stuff, just the taste. There are so many ways to quit, patches and gums and other ways now adays. It is virtually a quit smoking world and i don't blame you for wanting to quit. Someone once quit cold turkey no patches no gum nothing, how? they never had one when they woke up in the morning. Got rid of all the ash trays, lighters and other things to do with smoking. And when they have a craving they would suck on sugar free candy or they would breathe in and out clean air and get over the craving after about a month of this to my knowledge, he is still off the smokes and has been for about 2 years. He is now into other activities and went onto a healthier diet as well since stopping smoking, he walks daily, swims daily and has joined a gym for other things then to just sit and smoke. When he is sitting and he feels the need to do something with his hands he builds model cars and airplanes and other hobbies he likes to do to keep his hands busy. Just some hints. Good luck and hopefully you can kick the habit!
