Thats a bit Fight Club of you Roman, Start smoking just to join the team of quitters. Just remember you aren't sobbing on my moob.

Seriously though if you've only just started, your best quitting while you are ahead, otherwise you'll have months/years of trauma caused by it. (while smoking and quitting)

And good job with hitting 5 months. They say that when you hit 6 months, your body essentially "forgets" about nicotine.

well it's been 6 months 1 week and 3 days since i torched a cigarette and i can tell you that i still have craves.
i can see why the 1 year relapse rates are close to 90%.

I used Chantix. Started in August, finished the first week of October. Went absolutely crazy until ... um ... about the second week of November. Good stuff, Chantix. Just ... well, coming off it is a bit rough. But then again, I didn't follow my doctor's orders, either. (My bad.)

I don't have a psychological desire to smoke anymore. In the past I mentioned how I didn't like nicotine, but I missed the actual smoking part itself (playing with the cigg, smoking it, etc). I no longer miss that. In fact, my desire for caffeine and processed sugars is decreasing, too. However, that's very likely because of dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors I am currently on.

Since you no longer miss it, this is probably unnecessary advice but I recommend chewing toothpicks. I did that for a couple years after smoking and still do when things are stressful. Other than an occassional splinter there's really no health risks involved.
