ZeroSum

Both I and my brother in law recently quit smoking (again)

I'm on a start again stop again program but eventually, I am hoping all cravings will disappear.

A couple of things different with my cessation this time around:

1. Cigars or cigarillos - these cause much fewer cravings during smoking.

It may be possible to wean oneself off of cigarettes by starting smoking cigars 

2. marijuana - now I know this may sound like going from soft smoking to hard smoking but

I noticed while I was trying to stop smoking cigarettes that smoking a joint at night helped me not to smoke cigarettes. Really helped with the first few days especially. I know it is not legal everywhere but it is legal where I am. Plus I feel no addictive quality to marijuana.

3. coffee/alcohol - Desire to smoke cigs is amped up after coffee or alcohol (at least for me it is)

I cut back or did not drink while stopping smoking...helped a lot )

Good luck, it is well worth w/e you need to go through to stop smoking!
