It's been over 2 months for me. You're right, the cravings do come in waves. Just keep telling yourself they will go away, and THEY WILL. If you get really figety(???), try inhaling thru a straw. It helped me. Be strong, grasshopper!  You will thank yourself. Scott

Heres another bit of info to make you want to quit Quote:
In 1982, an article titled `Radioactivity in Cigarette Smoke' in the New England Journal of Medicine by T.H.Winters and J.R.DiFranza of the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre, provided the wake up call. They showed that cigarette contains radioactivity in the form of polonium-210 (Po-210) and lead-210 (Pb-210). They claimed that a person smoking 1 and 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day receives a radiation dose to certain regions of the lung equal to 300 x-ray films of the chest per year. Others estimated that the dose is over 70 times more. The dose rate depends on the radioactive content of the tobacco, the puff size and the frequency and number of cigarettes smoked.

Congrats! My brother started smoking when he was 16 or 17, and he's now 28, and he quit cold turkey. Says he's never felt better in his life, other than the 25lbs his skinny arse picked up.

I never understood the people at resturants that smoke while eating... Yeck... I like a mild hickory or charcoal smoke taste on my steak but that doen't mean I want to stick my head under the grill hood while eating it. 
I don't get that either & I smoke! I could never mix the two!
I quit one time for 3 years, with the occasional cigar, Then I got married! Had to get a pack when I got back from the honeymoon. I've seriously cut back in the last 4 months & A pack lasts me from2&1/2 to 4 days, depending on how the wife is feeling.  When I had quit I chewed Sunflower seeds from the day I started, they worked great @ keeping my mind off of it, don't go wussy & get the pre shelled ones either. Good luck!
I don't "mod" I just fix what breaks!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
The little evil tobacco troll will rear its ugly head after 2 and 3 months. Resist him then & you'll be good for life. You've made a GREAT start! Keep it up!
Have you cleaned your car, changed the cabin filter & eliminated all the sources of foul cig smell that you encounter? If not, this is the perfect time to go on that cleaning spree.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
