My friend Steve quit and used toothpicks as his "new hand to mouth" habit. That seemed to help him, plus his wife was threatening to leave him - if he didn't quit. Now when he visits, I make sure I have a bunch of toothpicks in the jar & I hand him those to chew on. It worked well and he's over 'smokes', but now he's addicted to toothpicks. Go figure.

I'm over smoking...until I travel to Europe for a visit. Geez, Everyone there still smokes like it's no big deal. Then I quit all over again upon my return.

Wish I'd never started way back in my teens! So it goes.
