    Really tough to do especially when you've got other problems to deal with!! You're just like me, the way you're going you won't make it!! I guess the only way to do it is to BUCK UP and say "I QUIT RIGHT NOW" and do it. I'm going to work on that one!! Fit.gif

    Chantix man! I tried everything - and this after my quad bypass (on it for 2 months). -Im free of that after 25 years! (2+ years now).

    I told my sister - she said her concern was more the psycological addition - she'd tired other stuff as well - she guit after only 1 month!! (she's been fre for about 2 years now also).

    I even today still find a repulsion from seeing others "light-up" (unlike previous attempts (lasted 5 and 7 months).
    Bottomline, it takes away 85-90% of cravings - the rest is your to deal with - but that's pretty awesome really.

    My Doctor recommended I try it after it came out - he said his feedback was 99% success!! It works by blocking nicotine recetiors in the brain, so chewing nicotine gum or other nicotine product won't help. Just decide this is it - NO MORE. You can do it!!!

    I also smoked for about 25 years, but managed to quit "cold-turkey" about 11 years ago. Although I believe the really bad cravings went away after a couple of weeks, it was actually a couple of years before I no longer thought about it. The worst craving times were after a meal or when I would drink a beer. Today, I am repulsed by cigarette smoke just like life-long nonsmokers are, although there is certainly a familiar feeling I get when I smell it.

    Increasing exercise also helps - every time you have a craving, get up and walk around, if nothing else. If you are in a multi-story building, try walking up and down two or three flights of stairs.

    Good luck - you can do it!

    I've been free of the cigarette habit for over 5 1/2 years now. I was determined, and I had a good non-smoking woman encouraging me every step of the way. Long term success of smoking cessation requires determination, keeping busy in smoke-free environment, and having a support network of people. It’s after the physical addiction (first few months) that you need others to support and encourage you. The psychological addiction takes several years to overcome. In my case it was around three years before I no longer felt the urge for a cigarette when under stress. You need to developed new stress reducing habits to replace the "I need a cigarette" habit when under stress. That could be exercise, a hobby, or sex with a wonderful partner. Of course this is just my opinion based upon my own experience.

    Jeez, I may need to take up smoking if quitting guarantees sex with a wonderful partner!

    Lemmings have enough bad trates without the weather messin' with them!!


    Climate pushing lemmings to cliff


    In warm years, lemmings are the most plentiful mammals


    Climate change is bringing wetter winters to southern Norway, a bleak prospect for the region's lemmings.
    Scientists found that numbers of the animals no longer vary over a regular cycle, as they did until a decade ago; there are no more bumper years.
    The snow is not stable enough, they think, to provide winter shelter.
    Writing in the journal Nature, the researchers suggest the lack of Norwegian lemmings is affecting other animals such as foxes and owls.
    In boom years, lemmings are the most plentiful and important prey for these carnivores.
    Until the mid-1990s, the lemming population in the study area in southern Norway varied on a cycle of three to five years. The animals can live for three to four years making use of snow cover


    Rather than hibernating, lemmings spend the winter living in the space between the ground and a stable layer of snow above.
    Dry winters would allow large numbers to survive until spring, resulting in a population explosion.
    On occasions, there were so many that snowploughs were deployed to clear squashed animals from roads.
    These years often saw Norwegian lemmings (Lemmus lemmus) having to compete hard for food.
    The desperate search led some to jump off high ground into water, leading to the popular - but wrong - assumption that they were prone to commit collective suicide. But the peak years are not occurring anymore. The research team, composed of Norwegian and French scientists, believes the winters are now too humid, leading to the "wrong kind of snow". This results in a less stable subnivean space (the space between the ground and the snow layer above), meaning substantially fewer animals survive until spring. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7711709.stm
