I gave up smoking thirty eight yrs. ago. There were no self help aids. I knew that when I was running out , I would have to buy another pack G-D forbid I should run out. I then ket two packs of cigs in my kitchen closet. and then stopped, knowing I always had cigarettes if I needed a puff. I never smoked again .
I never gained weight.I had a baby and two small boys . We were in a cottage on a lake in Canada.I just was too busy.
