Atypical tips to quit smoking? (lemm.ee)

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.

There is no way you could reproduce this now, but when I quit smoking, I worked in a place where everyone smoked, so I got it second-hand for quite a while after that.

As a former tobacco user as well, I will share something that I think we should enjoy.

I've been re-watching the X-files. I do occasionally let my 5 yo watch. So, the smoking man was in this one, and my kid actually asked what a cigarette was.

I'm so glad how we've changed smoking from common to my kid not even knowing what it is after around only 20 years.
