Hang in there man.  I got my wife to quite about 4 yrs ago and it helped both our lives.  If you relapse just start over and try again.  My wife went through several before she was able to consistently taper off until she completely quit.  She did do some carrott eating to keep her hands busy but that was about it.  It took about 6 months. Good luck.

dang guys,didn't realize i had touched on such a touchie subject.but it feels good to know that i have such support.i've seen that time line before.i can't hardly wait to start feeling the effects of being smoke free.i've smoked since i was 18 years old.i'm 38 now.it ranged from a pack a day to,at one time,3 packs a day.for about the last 7 or 8 years it's been 2 packs a day.i am really surprised at how much easier it's been this time compared to when i tried to quit a few years ago.i guess that i just had to be "ready"to do it.just like when i quit doing drugs on january 3 2000.a day in which i will never forget.it seems that just saying thanks to you guys is not enough.

hmm january 3 2000?  was that about the time you woke up and realized you shouldn't have done all those drugs because the world wasn't going to end?

I worked construction, (poured concrete walls) and it sucked, I started when I was 16 and it has been the worse job i've ever done.  I can't think of worse physical and mental labor than that.  The only thing that kept me there was the money. ALL of my co-workers smoked, and when you have 6 guys in a ford f350 smoking with the windows up because  it's hot out and the a/c is cold, there's no real option. 

But, the chew method works, to my belief, every single person (old and young) that i know that quit smoking did it with chew.  Once you get past the habit part of smoking (smoke when you wake up and do certain things, etc...) it's easy to quit.  The chew takes care of the chemical part.  I just hope this helps.  You will always want to have a cig, just never smoke one again and you'll be great.  I've had too many "spirit up-lifers" tonite, so disreguard this if it doesn't make sence.
