I Quit... It wasn't hard. sure i had some withdrawls but, They only lasted three days! I can honestly say that I know that it worries you. I also cared about what people thought; what was going on in my body, and the constant mantinance that cigarette addiction requires. I also know that it is something that know one has ever quit by gradual withdrawl or niccoteen replacement. You know the pain you go through when you are having withdrawls all to well. You start as soon as you put the cigsrette down! But, you still put yourself through it everytime you say "i'm going to cut back" or "another peice of gum"! Doesen't work! Because, the actual day you start your quit is when you decid to stop putting nicoteen into your body. Plain and simple; would you rather suffer for three days or suffer from cancer the rest of your shortened life. The first step of your quit is actually to smoke normally. because you can actually prolong your withdrawls if you put yourself through frequent withdrawl. Second step is to go to a colod turkey quit site. I will try and answer any questions I can if you ask!
