What can I suck on?

[Briar_x]

Tonight I know that I will be rather the worse for wear - in fact I am leaving very soon to make my way to the big smoke!
I gave up smoking in January, and have only had I think 2 (both when drunk) since quitting. Just recently my resolve has been cracking and I havebeen having VERY strong urges for nicotine. What can I suck/do tonight to stop me from getting re-hooked on the dreaded weed?!!

It depends... Are you male or female?

Seriously though, so long as you keep your mind/hands occupied you won't smoke. If you find the urge then have some sugar-free mints to hand and keep popping one in your mouth. Or eat a carrot.

Think about how well you have done since January and how you don't want to 'give in to the temptation'. Have you read Allen Carr's 'Easy Way to Stop Smoking'? I found the last chapter in that was excellent and keeping me motivated not to smoke. Also, tell everyone at the beginning of the evening that you don't want to smoke - so can they please persuade you not too if you feel like lighting up. And don't buy any!

Failing that - don't drink...

Good luck!

If you get the urge, chew on a dog end, that should do the trick. (I mean the end of someones manky cigarette-DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go and do anything seriously untoward with the nearest Jack Russell)

briar dont know wehether you r male or female, but I gave up smoking 2years and 9 months ago,and funnily only yesterday i was walking through the bus station and passed a lady puffing away on a ciggarette, and i thought to myself God i used to stink like that, cos honestly anybody that does smoke stinks that is one thing I have really noticed,and also when your out tonight look at the smokers and none smokers you will notice how the smokers look haggered,I am not writing this to offend anyone its just fact. if you want to smoke, you smoke, but what will you do next year when its barred in pubs and clubs cos most of them do food!!!!!!!
