I quit chewing this summer, I had done that for the past 4 years. Then I started smoking to compensate, been in the process of trying to quit for the past couple months.

Now, Imagine smoking more than 2 packs a day and trying to replcae that with something. My activity level didn't change either. I just never got more active to offset the metabolism change. Now, I gotta work my ass off to try and get back to a weight I'm actually comfortable with.

Why thank you....

I was about a one and half to two packs a day, I know your pain.

being active after quitting smoking has nothin to do with anything... my dad is one of the most active people i know work wise and he still gained wait after he quit... goes up and down stairs carrying 20''+ rolls of carpet and vinyl to third floor and more then one trip so for you to tell me it's their choice after they quit to gain wait your an idiot

I used the gum to get through the first 4 days and it worked great for me. The key is not only to stop smoking, but to make sure you are mentally ready to never, ever smoke again...ever...not when you are drunk, not when you are pissed about something...never. Good luck man:icon_thumright:

[weeman]

i will try it and hope for the best!!!!

[MisterCMK]

Good luck man. You gotta tell yourself that you are not going to smoke again. Also be prepared for the triggers, the times when you would normally want a smoke.

I know Dave. Good guy. Haven't spoken to him in awhile. See him around quite a bit though.

Acupuncture....

Works like a charm, one visit should suffice. $35-$50, why not give it a try...

not a day in my life. Dad smoked enough for both of us until about 97 and finally quit.

Now I end up feeling like shit if I sit in a smokey bar for too long.
