i quit cold turkey, and every time i "HAD" to have a cig I would roll and smoke a joint instead, staying heavily stoned all day this went on for about 5 days then the cravings went away,, after that its all mental.. after a few weeks to a month I was pretty much done.

drinking brings out the cravings now and then, but last time i smoked a cig it actually made me sick!! so i know i wont be smoking tobacco again
