Ive tried all the ways to quit, including chewing (the most disgusting thing ever :x )
Theres more advice, dont chew! 8)
You mean, the nicotine gum or chewing tobacco?
I couldn't bring myself to ever chew tobacco - all that spitting, having globs of sludge in your mouth. It's more uncouth than smoking!!
I tried the nicotine gum, and it made me incredibly naseous. You chew it to soften the gum up, then you park it between your gumline and teeth somewhere near the back of your mouth. I'd get these hiccupping spells that would go on, no kidding, for hours. Eh, the gum also didn't satisfy my craving to do something with my idle hands - which I think part of the smoking habit attributes to.
It sounds cheesy, but I've started knitting (I know, I sound like a little old lady!) I found that it curbs my addiction of always having my hands do something. And I smoke less when I'm knitting. Who knows, maybe that'll be the thing that saves me from the evils of smoking.
Who wants a scarf? I've become quite good at making them!
be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle

Chewing tobbacco is grosse. There is fiber glass in it that cuts your lip ever so slightly to get the nicotine into your system. Very unattractive.
Yes it is true that smoking is all about having something to do, with your hands or mouth. I find just having a toothpick or piece of gum in my mouth helps me curve the craving, and that nicotine gum is nasty.
I think the best way to quit is to do something active, like going for jogs (lung killer) or basketball and etc. You wont wanna smoke when your hacking up all that shit :)
