How to Get Someone to Quit Smoking Without Hating You
1. Chew mints. The taste of menthol or peppermint makes a smoker’s mouth feel cool, fresh, and clean, which tricks the brain into feeling less desire for that hot intake of smoke. Stash mints everywhere, so they’re always handy: car, purse, pocket, around the house.

Now I am feeling times better!
Good Luck to all!
If they realize how much money that they save it might help them!
Nicotene is a deadly poison.
Find the cure.... A real one. What a tease!
ANything helps
Grapes?!? Who knew - gotta try this!
If you are a 1-pack-a-day smoker, deposit $5.00 a day (each day you don't buy a pack of cigarettes) in a dish or jar. Watch how quickly the money piles up!
Even if the tips help someone cut back on their smoking it is a plus. Blessings to all who need to quit.
There is not a one size fit all approach to breaking this awful habit. I quit many times using different methods. However, I finally used Nicorette to break a habit of over forty years. Eating healthy and drinking lots of water were already a part of my daily routine. Flavored gum was what I went to after finishing the nicorette regimen. I've been nicotine free for 23 months.
