I quit smoking, but I still have urges to smoke, other than chewing gum what could you recommend to help?


Question:
Also, I have smoked all of my adult life 27+ years, I finally quit(yeah) It has been now 3 weeks since I totally quit, I thought my smell and taste would be better, but are not. I am looking for some safe habit to do with my hands instead of holding a cigarette. Please do not tell me to chew gum--I hate gum.
Thank you

Answers:
straws, when i tried to quit the last time, I chewed on straws or had one in my hand and would chew it when I wanted to smoke. I also sucked on hard candy- because I smoked menthol cigarrettes, I found sucking on Halls cough drops or anything with menthol helped.
Good luck, congrats and don't give in, the difficulty will only last a few weeks- once you get past 2 you know you can keep going, eventually you won't want it anymore- my husband quit for a month and tried to smoke and felt horrible- once your body gets used to not having it, it doesn't want it.
Sugar free lollipops..Also about 50 jumping jacks will take your mind off of those cravings that hit you out of nowhere!
Don't you wish you had NEVER started? Gosh, I do. I hate this! I hate WANTING them all the time.
Good luck to you!

Play with a pencil. You are used to having something in your hands.
you have to see your doctor, ask him/her to prescribe anti-smoking patch, i don't know the name, it helps.
Exercise, it worked for me. The first 6 months sucked, good luck.
