Is there a pill you can take to make you sick if you smoke cigatettes?

Thanks for the advice, I've tried that.  My life is so stressful that just shear will power is not going to work.   When I was pregnant with my children (2) I would get sick everytime I smelled a cigarette, lit or not.  After the kids were born the craving came back.   The only way I'll ever stop is to absolutely be sick to smell them.  Must have been a hormone thing.   I'll keep looking for help, thank you for your advice & have a great day!  ~linda~

Glad to hear from ya!  Once I had made my mind up I told a friend who was very supportive of my decision.  He had quit a number of years earlier so he knew what it was all about.  He told me to give him a call everytime I wanted a cigarette.  I thought he was crazy but I told him I would.  I did ok on my own the first two days.  On the third day the craving really hit.  I looked around for my wifes smokes and found them.  I took one out and went for the lighter which was right next to my phone.  I picked up the phone and the lighter and went outside.  I sat on the step and called my friend.  I told him where my head was at and he just talked to me. Encouraged me to put the smoke down and talked until the craving passed. I couldn't believe it worked.  We did this repeatedly until the craving and urges went away.  Lasted about three weeks.  Every now and then I still get an urge but it passes pretty quick.  It been about 3 1/2 yrs since I had to smoke.  No patch, no gum.  Just a friend and a phone.  I hope this helps.

So, how did you stop smoking?

I don't know if there is a pill or not, however, I'm a former smoker and I understand stopping can be tough.  If you're interested to learn how I was able to stop please don't hesitate to ask.  Good Luck!!!
