I know it’s gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it’s something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can’t find a habit to replace it with.

    There is a book my friend swore by. I think it’s called “how to quit smoking”. By the time he finished it he said he had lost all interest.

    It’s kind of well known, and I’m sure you can find it if you Google.

      Perhaps Alan Carr’s “The Easy Way”?

      My favorite chapter of that book was titled the Benefits of Smoking.

      The author uses a nice technique - reducing the concept and practice of smoking to absurdity. Reductio ad ab-smoke-dum, if you will.

        This is it. It’s not the worlds most well written book, but its repetitiveness and concepts are effective. Worked for me.
