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.

Perhaps Alan Carr’s “The Easy Way”?

My favorite chapter of that book was titled the Benefits of Smoking.

The author uses a nice technique - reducing the concept and practice of smoking to absurdity. Reductio ad ab-smoke-dum, if you will.

This is it. It’s not the worlds most well written book, but its repetitiveness and concepts are effective. Worked for me.
