How did you guys quit?  Right now i'm sucking on a Commit Lozenge, and its hurting my throat, tongue, and stomach. 

Nicatrol hurt my lungs and throat, I think I'm running out of options here :(

I had to try a few times over the past few years, but what worked best for me was to continually unsettle my smoking routine - for example I was no longer allowed to smoke on my own property (my own rule) which made it a hassle to do it; I wasn't allowed to smoke with my sister around (a smoker and significant trigger for me!); I wasn't allowed to smoke on the phone; I wasn't allowed to smoke at work.  I gradually kept adding rules as I got stronger and more disinterested in smoking, and then finally went for it, quitting.  The important thing for me was to avoid the guilt - it was easier to not smoke in the conditions I imposed on myself, as I could reassure myself that I could smoke later if I really wanted to.  And I was feeling positive for achieving those rules, and therefore was able to feel less guilty when I did smoke.  By the time I actually stopped completely it was much easier.  All I used was some nicorette to get through any acute stages in the first 2 weeks or so. 

Good luck!

that is really good advise, I'll try that!  I already have one about no smoking "in" the house.. but at the door way I do.. maybe that may be a good thing to try :D  Thanks jhbaker!
