Personally, I don't think sunflower seed is a very good idea considering that they usually contain high amounts of salt which causes high blood pressure and fluid retention. You don't have to be told that if you stuff your mouth it's going to show around your waist. Some people use toothpicks as a "crutch" until they break the habit of reaching for a cigarette. Two packs a day is a lot of nicotine to rot the lungs and I applaud you for making the wise decision to stop.

Two weeks ago my childhood friend AND his nephew died the same day, at approximately the same time; both of lung cancer from smoking. How strange and weird is that? Both funerals were held at the same time, same place, with burial in the same cemetery. As cruel as it sounds, the reality of the matter is that they both literally smoked themselves to death. They left a total of 8 children without a dad.

Many people have a habit of reaching for a cigarette after eating. I have heard that brushing ones teeth helps to control the craving and I know it will make those "pearly whites" sparkle. Other than that, I haven't a clue because each person has to find a way to win their battles. I wish you continued success as you defeat this enemy.

thanks but its eaither seeds or smoke for now i have had to cut back on them they can be pretty rough on the mouth i got some sugar free candy today and picked up alot of apples and oranges i made it out to the lake today and that was a true test even left the seeds in the truck i belive im over the habit but its the hand and mouth thing that gets everyone but i tell u one thing the food is much better tasten i cant belive what iv been missin for 10 years if ne one else is thinking about quiting just throw away the ciggs and quit dont think after 3 or 4 days it aint that bad good luck

I have been quit now for 5 weeks. I am feeling much better but there is still a craving there but there always will be as with anything you are adicited to you are always an addict. Congrats Ironhead, keep it up, but watch the eating, putting on weight is not good either. If you see you could break, talk to your Dr and get the Chantax, it is really working for me, I did not want to use meds to stop, but I had a real hard time cold turkey, smoked 2 + - Packs a day of full flavor cig's for almost 30 years. Dt's sucked. But keep it up and never give up.

woooooohooooo 7 days no ciggs and i have saved $100

[Bobby Headrick]

Keep it up an dhang in there. It now has been 5 weeks and no cigs. Took the money for what a carton costs and pd my entry fee into next tourney and bought some new lures. Fishing is much better than smoking.
