Atypical tips to quit smoking?

3 years ago by 31415926535 to c/asklemmy

I know it's gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense.

Trouble quitting cuz it's something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can't find a habit to replace it with.

My grandfather quit smoking by switching the habit to lollipops. He always used to say it was a good replacement for the oral fixation and fidgeting

I quit a 20 year smoking habit with jolly ranchers. After the 1st month, I didnโ€™t need them anymore.

A mentor of mine did the same thing but with cough drops since he used to smoke menthols
