Hey all,
I'm just getting back into raw after several (awful) months away. In these months, I've started smoking quite a bit. I've smoked cigarettes off and on for about 4 or 5 years... for most of that time it was MAYBE 2 per week, tops. But this semester I've just been smoking more and more until I'm smoking at least 3 or 4 a day, and more troubling, I am feeling addicted, which I've never felt before. Does anyone have any tips (involving raw or just tips in general) to help me quit? I know at this point I need to just QUIT, or else I'll eventually slide back in again. This is particularly important because (as my username suggests) I'm a singer, and this nasty habit is killing my voice and my body. I think a lot of my problem is an oral fixation. I have a constant need to have something in my mouth- which is a big part of my very large recent weight gain, but that's a entirely different topic. Food, fingernail, cigarette, water bottle- something. Maybe that can help you lend me some advice. Are there any kind of raw things you can put in your mouth or a while and suck/chew on, like a mint would be? Also, would trying the patch or nicotine gum be a bad idea?
OK, that's a lot of questions! Any advice would be SO appreciated. Thanks guys, and I'm really, really happy and grateful to be back.

Smoking is the worst habit a person can have as it is not only affecting the person but also affecting people around. There are a lot of problems associated with smoking which people face like problem with respiratory system, heart and many more. Chantix helps you to get over this smoking habit and it works on the body by giving you the same feel good effect as smoking and hence reduces the craving for nicotine. You can have all the information on chantix here http://www.chantixhome.com/ Along with having this medicine, you should also have will power and feeling that you want to get over this habit.
