3.5 days and counting

[Hoakie]

I used to do both, depending on the situation, quit both smokes about 7 years ago and chew about 5. It is kind of funny because it has now been long enough that I don't even notice the displays at the gas stations anymore.

WanyeJ, good for you and I will pray for you and your wife....tobacco is one tough cookie to kick, both physically and more so psychologically.

Congrats to the others who have kicked the habit and those who haven't yet please give it another shot or reconsider the benefits. My buddy has a counter on his PC that shows how many days he's been smoke free and how much he as saved...he just went over the $10,000 mark after about 5 years. That is a lot of shop tools.

I am proud of Mark for doing this. Now in a while once he is done with the worst part of things and he is not so cranky . I will actually try and quit smoking. I have done it before when I was pregnant but I picked it back up because of some issues in the family and I wasn't strong enough to resist. I am going to quit and I am hoping that for Christmas or my birthday that my family and friends will think about getting me a gym membership. (yes that was a hint for Mark when he reads this).

Well done BW. Publicly quitting will help your resolve. Think what it would be like to slink back to the forum and admit that you have fallen of the wagon. You can be sure that the Mrs. will tell us.

I used all forms of tobacco when I was in the Army. Lucky there was no way to inject it. I quit smoking when my wife was pregnant with our 24 year old son. The Lifesaver method worked for me.

Good for you! Not only will you be better off for it, but it will make it much easier for Mark to stay off the coffin nails also.

Great job Mark, stay with it.

I gave up smoking on August 1st and am now 2 months without it and doing great.

I used Acupuncture to help and it worked like a dream. I dont even think about it now and I have worked through most of my habitual situations i.e. after meals, with a beer etc.

I have one major one left and I should tackle that in a few weeks when I hit Vegas for a week...

Keep going it will be worth it.

Good for you, Mark! I'm coming up on 2 years of living Copenhagen free after chewing for almost 20 years. I used nicotine gum and some "fake" chew to fight the urges (Smokey Mountain classic...sorta tastes like Cope...other flavors available).

[Black wallnut]

Yup Mike, I'm using Smokey Mountian wintergreen as a crutch, that's it. I don't care for it which might be a good thing as I don't need to develop a replacement habit. I will have to look for the classic though.
