Try to gradually lower your levels of smoking. For example, smoke 11 cigarettes a day for a month and then once you get use to it, go down to 10. Good Luck!

Good luck!

If you want some tips I would focuse on kicking the nicotine habit first and save the junk food habit for later. Changing habits are hard and changing 3-4 at the same time is even harder When you are done with the cigarettes you will usually feel a lot better and thus want to eat better = free help.

For me, junk food is the top thing helping me quit. I keep shoveling other stuff into my mouth to pass the time and distract myself. But then, I could stand to gain a few pounds.

120 in 8 months is huge! If you can do that and quit smoking that will be a huge change to your overall health and you'll feel so much better for it

good luck!

Good luck. This'll be hard as hell, but if you can make a major shift in weight, you can quit cigarettes.
Won't make it any more fun, though.

Glad to hear you're quitting smoking, best of luck! You might consider looking into some nicotine replacement like gum or lozenges because that could help your quitting go smoother and easier.

You can do it! Be sure to buy some gum and/or sunflower seeds (or other things like that). SC2 will give your hands something to do, but your mouth needs something to replace that oral fixation.

IMO cold turkey is the way to go. It sucks at first but after a few days the most painful of the cravings go away, and then it becomes something you only think about 100 or so times a day (instead of 10000 times at first), slowly scaling down till you only get a craving every once in a while. Apparently the cravings never go away entirely. My mom stopped smoking over 35 years ago, and hates smoking, but tells me that she still gets cravings :D.

With replacement, you have to quit twice--quit the habit of smoking, and then quit using nicotine. Just my two bits--it works for other people sometimes.
Make more anything.
