Dear Audrey,
I am a chain smoker too. Used to smoke about 12 cigrattes /day, now slowly reduced to 6. See when ever you feel like smoking the best remedy is to start eating chewing gum. I have noticed the continous movement of our mouth and repeated intake of saliva throgh eating chewing gums have reduced the liking towards smoke.
Try it it will work. I can be contacted at: sund1234@yahoo.com

Places where you don't smoke, stay there longer.
Places where you do smoke try to avoid them as much as possible.
I quit this way, and make myself cut down a little at a time till I was smoking 3 cigarettes a day, then I quit all together.

I had been a heavy smoker and drinker for past 30 years but I managed to kick the habits in just one go.
I tried withdrawal method, minimising, etc. Nothing works.
ONLY WILLPOWER WORKS.
Have will, you can stop.

After smoking for 22 yrs. ... I just "cold turkeyed" one day! Perhaps my addiction was harder to quit than a "heavy" smoker:
I smoked 5 ciggs. a day(Can't hurt much...right??) Sorry if that's not much help!!

It is not diffucult. I have done it so many times. Try to increase the gap of timing bet. two cigarettes, within one month you will overcome smoking. This is my advice which I cannot follow. Ha Ha ha.....

week 1: cut down your habit to half (you may tremble sometimes, even salivate when you see one, fever is normal, dizziness and others, but if youre really decided, youll make it through,)
week 2: cut it down to another half
week 3: den another
week 4: den totally cut it all. its your determination and dedication that wuold remove it, believe me.
