Gave it up cold turkey. After hearing how bad my grandfather suffered with lung cancer, and knowing there is a genetic link, I just stopped. I did eat sunflower seeds for a while. But salt and spitting hulls seemed just as bad a habit as smoking. A good friend quit by buying the cheapest, nastiest cigar he could find. Every time he felt the urge, he would light that same cigar. After a week or so the thought of smoking just turned him off because he would think of how shitty that cigar tasted. Hey, whatever works, just quit! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ex-smokers-come-in/48491)._
