I'm a gum chewer. When I quit smoking, gum was my BFF. I get the sugar free kind where it's only 5 cals for 2 pieces.
Also, you may want to try weaning instead of going cold turkey. Like if you smoke a pack a day, smoke 3/4 of a pack for a week, then 1/2 a pack for a week, etc. I researched this many moons ago and people who weaned off nicotine instead of suddenly quitting were much less likely to regress and pick up smoking again. Don't get me wrong, not smoking is important and the sooner you quit the better... but you want to do it in a way that is beneficial for YOU and that will make you less likely to pick up a ciggy 3 months from now.
s YOU CAN DO IT!
