I smoked and chewed the gum (chewed at work where we had a no smoking anywhere on the grounds policy).

I will tell you that when I quit, I missed the gum terribly the first few days.

I spent as much on the gum as I did cigarettes, so I may as well have been smoking 2 packs a day.

You'll experience withdrawal, too, from the gum. When you're ready, set a quit date just like you did for the cigarettes. If you think cold turkey is not for you, ask your doctor for a prescription for Chantix. It works.
