i find associating activities with smoking to be the biggest problem. once you get into a certain routine, it's hard to not have that cig while you're doing whatever ie. while drinking coffee first thing in the morning, after finishing a meal, etc...

i quit for about 6 months because i got really sick (rough cough that lasted a month due to a flu). you know what got me back into it? seeing all those stupid nicorette commercials. i wasn't craving cigs, but i really wanted to try the nicotine gum for some reason. i chewed them for a while, then said fuck it, i'd rather smoke again.

so here i am, smoking more than ever now since i started my new job earlier this year. i'm outdoors a lot and have a lot of freedom to do whatever.. not good.. fml.

i found that i smoked less when i didn't have much on me. if you guys are trying to cut back, don't buy double packs and cartons (cheaper, but smoke more). carry a handful with you and go from there.
