I quit smoking about four years ago after smoking for about 10 years. Patches didn't work, Then I got addicted to the gum (and switched back to cigarettes, cause it was cheaper)... until I discovered hot stuff. I thought I would share what worked.
Chilis, Habeneros, Jalepeno's.. "Dave's insanity
sauce".. ahh, the pain, the endorphine rush. By combining with a small "appetizer-like" meal, it kills the need to stuff yourself silly.
To quit smoking using chilis: Whenever you want a cigarette, take a small piece of toasted bread (1/4 a slice), put a small piece of lunchmeat and/or cheese.. Think appetiser sized. and place either 1 drop of "Dave's insanity sauce", or several slivers of Habenero pepper. Take a few breaths, insert into mouth and CHEW SLOWLY. Get a napkin, to wipe the tears and runny nose with. Chew and swallow... make absolutely sure you get the chili-burn. Whew, no more cigarette craving - the more the burn, the better you feel.
I think it only took a few weeks before I wasn't interested in chilis, smoking, or using the bathroom. I was able to lay off the chilis, and haven't smoked since.
At first this takes A LOT of burning, but think.. you are actually doing your circulation some good.

Haha! [+] I'm gonna try it. |

If negative reinforcement is what it takes, but my vote stays with Welbutrin/Zyban.
Nice side effect about the eating, though. |
|
| |
just musing on the possibility of snorting something like this (as you do - the musing not the snorting!), do people use snuff anymore? |
|
| |
I've been meaning to start. |
|
| |
those bottles are really cute, I bet they are collectable. |

- I use snuff occasionally. If I see it
for sale somewhere (about once a
year) I buy a tin and use it until it
is gone or I lose it, then I forget
about the stuff until the next time
I happen to see it. |

I'm got some snuff sitting on the desk in front of me here as I type. It's tobacco-free and mentholated. And it's been sitting there a while. I got bored after a couple of pinches. And it doesn't burn as well as tobacco. |

I knew a Norwegian bloke who had this snuff like substance, he called it "Schnooze" or something. He rolled it into a little cylinder about the size of a ciggie butt and popped it under his top lip. Left it there for about 15 minutes. I know it's stupid, but I just had to try it. It slowly released the tobacco taste, which was a bit gross, but the nicotine hit was amazing, more intense than any cigarette. So you're saving your lungs, but I'd guess the risk of oral tumours would replace that. Still, if hot stuff helped you kick the weed, [+]. |

Yep, snuff's still commonly available here (Germany). I know a surprisingly large amount of people who use it considering that one pinch makes your eyes stream, face turn green or beetroot red and leads to one expelling one's teeth hard enough to leave clean holes in the nearest window. Oh and makes you look like you have poo round your nose. |

[saker], a US Smokeless Tobacco Co. stand outside Arizona Stadium before football games last semester sold the same product. Definitely gross, and the tobacco was too strong, and if you accidentally let one drop slide down the back of your throat you're hacking or puking it up 15 minutes later. Ick! I hated that shit. |

I'm already hooked on hotsauce, so this idea wouldn't work for me. Croissant for effort and success story, though--and for having the first HB quitting idea I've seen that's not blatantly anti-smoking/pro-The-Man. |
