Have you quit smoking? How?

If you've kicked the habit, how did you do it? What works? What motivated you? Did you have to make new friends? What advice would you give to someone trying to quit?

    There is a new medication out called "Chantix." It is a great product. It is a gradual process. Which is nice that it is not cold turkey. You'd have to get a prescription from your doctor. The most common side effect is nausea. Good luck.

    Whenever I got the craving for a smoke I chewed a stick of gum, fiddled with a pencil and kept repeating, "I'm not a smoker" Many packs of gum later it worked. Good luck.
