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 mother went cold turkey on quitting, with the motivation of buying (leasing?) a new car.

she knew, that if she continues to smoke, she won't be able to pay the debt.

now, she's completely cigarette free, for almost 15 years or more. the whole process took around less than a year.

(granted, had to replace some furniture at the beginning, because she smashed them, but this anger management problem got better rather fast)
