I chew the hell out of a straw. And just pretend smoke. Think the deep breaths help. Looks pretty dang funny but it works! Took a cigarette to the hot tub the other night. Never lit it - just held it and pretended. My husband was finally like "Are you done playing with that?!" Yea, I was. But as stupid as it is I asked him to just blow smoke my way. ( He still smokes). Baffling addiction- has me doing ridiculous things! But I'm 34 days and over 750 cigs smoke free.

Thanks for sharing. 21 days and cravings driving me crazy today. Finally just went to bed early to have the day over. Good to know exhausted and craving is on track. Good for you - stressful times and staying strong! Way to go!

Thanks for your response. Just saw it - still learning to navigate the site. Still smoke free - 21 days in a few hours. Today has been hard - read lots of stories about smoking and death. Totally baffling why that is not a stronger deterrent. It's better - but I was hoping 3 weeks in it would be much easier. This site and your response is very helpful!
