I used to do it during hockey season (when I played back in high school/college).

I'd smoke year round and play. Right before what was considered our "season"... meaning winter, I would switch to dip. Don;t get me wrong. I'd steal smoke every now and then when drinking or something like that, but the urge does indeed go away.

The only "urge" I had to smoke was the things that I did out of habit... such as drink and smoke at the same time. The rest of the days? Not an issue.

I would honestly say, the lesser of the two evils is smoking. There are many factors that are in place as well.

Are you a 2-3 pack a day smoker or a half a pack a day smoker? What kind of cigarettes do you smoke? Do you chain smoke, one after another? Etc.

I would say, that the poster above that stated that you keep your smokes far away from you is a great idea. I would even venture to take it a step further and make a designated smoking area. Smoking in your home is retarded anyways, even if you do live alone. It will fuck your shit up. If you do however, take it outside. That makes it a hassle in in itself.

You will eventually find yourself smoking less and less. Also make a conscious decision not to smoke as often. Buy bubble gum, munch on veggies like baby carrots and celery... use Ran ch as a dipping sauce in a coffee mug. Everytime you want a smoke, head to the fridge instead. (for healthy shit, otherwise you will turn into a fucking blimp)

Another good trick is to take an old coffee can ind fill it about 1/3rd of the way with water. For the next month, use it as your ash tray. After a few days, the smell will be so repulsive you may shy away from that next light up due to nausea. Even go as far as to take the lid off and take a nice big inhale of that shit every time you want a butt.

Good luck on your quest.
