Will Power? Orbit white and dasani water is what I used to quit. Its werid once you quit for x amount of time, its like a switch goes off in your head. Then the smell of smoke is disgusting, and you start telling other people close to you to quit. edit: I’ve been quit 3 years ---

cold turkey for sure… and ditch friends that smoke for at least 3 mos. it rules when you’re repulsed by cig’s, thats when you are good to go. Just be careful when your out drinking, thats the easiest way back in. ---
