I smoked for 20 years and my mind became addicted to just having one in my hand all the time.

It was funny because when I was smoking the carrots as a substitute I would catch myself flicking them just like a cig...

After around 2 months of using the carrot method I slowly cut back on how often I held them . I have not smoked since, If you dont like carrots you could always use something else.

The carrots where very close to the size and weight of a cig. So they where well suited for the job.

Good Luck.....
