Members rallied around someone seeking advice on quitting smoking, with many sharing that cold turkey worked best for them once they got tired of feeling sick all the time. Several members discussed Chantix as an option, noting that while it helped some people quit successfully by eliminating the pleasure of smoking, others experienced vivid dreams or couldn't take it due to health conditions like seizures or concerns about side effects. A recurring theme was the importance of breaking old routines, staying busy to avoid boredom and cravings, using hard candy or other distractions, and being kind to yourself if you slip up and need to start again.
