I used Trident gum to quit smoking after 14 years. What I tell everyone about quitting is that it is like breaking up with someone. Sometimes you go back and forth and ultimately you have to make the decision that you no longer want them "it" in your life anymore it's tuff but if you believe you are better without them "it" you have to do whatever it takes to stay away!

"Get over it" that's perfect!!! Hey, when I quit smoking I always had a big pack of doublemint sugarless gum layin around & I'm not a person to chew gum, at all! I chewed til my jaws hurt, but kept it up, took quite a few months before I was gum-free, haven't touched a stick since 1995. The really good news was that it also cured a problem I'd had to go to doctors for, that was acid reflux, the proper name. It was acute indigestion, didn't matter what I ate, thought I had a giant ulcer. After the gum treatment, no more ulcer symptoms, & I didn't gain weight, no more coughing for 1/2 an hour after those first two smokes, that was great, life is good, gotta keep healthy for those grand kiddies ya know! Probably take around 8-12 months before the brain quits thinkin about them if your jaws don't fall off. GOOD LUCK! Been on your channel long time now, big time.
