I feel the same way about gum... I know it sounds silly coming from a smoker, but I really think it's unnatural to keep the same piece in your mouth for very long. I quit yesterday also, but I am using the patch. However, I've smoked for ten years, and this is really hard. Luckily I have my son on my side. One tip is that I've started munching on the healthy snacks I usually have for my son... carrot sticks, trail mix, crackers. I've found that I really only need to eat a couple of bites before the craving goes away. Hope that helps!
