I have tablets called Niquitin to suck - it's easy and the mouth's occupied. They come in 4mg and 2mg. Try beginning with 4mg - have it every hour or so. It will help towards the withdrawal of nicotine. Take it for as long as you want.
Of course, you have to remember that you have a very high chance of getting emphysema which is a rather debilitating disease even in your fifties.
I dont know that scaring you will work. But the consequences of smoking are be very scary.
How come you dont feel bad physically - coughing and so on. That is what stopped me eventually. But I am only 4 months into stopping.
Try. You'll get help here from others.

Thanks for your scaring me 
I have never been a heavy smoker - but it seems its not even easier ...
now - its too early to tell - but this time I am somewhat positive of not starting again.
what worries me now is how much exsersise is needed in not putting on weight
and since in public you are also not allowed to smoke anymore its great help for me like in a Restaurant or Bar !
I rearly go to places where people smoke now !
But keep away that sweet from me now

the nicotine addiction in cigarrets is not the probleb to quit the problem is that sigarrets containing chemicals wich are strong enough to restrain your willing power, indirectly how this works look you say for instance david or christina like me very mach but i must quit it other ways she will go. then christina's personality comes into your mind and you say o.k for you i will give up, this time you rely beleaved and throw away your siggs for the next 6--8 hours feeling huppy now you'll have christina and be a non smoker excelent. a litle after the ladys face change in your mind she looks ugly now and every time more ugly. no she have not change the chemicals in the tabaco make you thing that way the mixing of chemicals are more complicated than wiring a computer. if you hook it to your health still the same will happen it make you almost forget that you my have heart dessese and yet forgeting your medicine often So have to deal with chemicals and not with nicotine. SO NEXT TIME you try to give up and you be attacted by this munster say to your self nothing has change in real it is the drugs make me feel that way and soon they will desapear, i 'll win and have both love and luck wish you good luck friend
What you say is , ah, crystal clear!
whoww - never seen it that way - sure its scary enough to keep me out of the drug - so just need the rescue 
Its great when someone gives up smoking cigarettes. What I cant stand are the people who only give up buying their own cigarettes!
Because I carry my cigarette rolling stash around with me in a small bag over my shoulder, every ex cigarette buying smoker seems to get the idea that they can bum smokes off me?... Like I enjoy subsidising their smoking or something?
When we sitting drinking a beer, and the ex buyer`s eyes keep swivelling to my stash with that hungry dog look, I know how they`re feeling, and their partner keeps swatting them and telling them to "be strong", I feel like a heel when I slide my bag over and say "go for it". But now I`ve learnt a little trick.... I keep my lighter, and tell them to go rub two sticks for a light... or go bum a light off someone else.... I just love the look of desperation when they approach a stranger with their skew-rolled smoke half of it falling out the paper (it took me 10 yrs to learn to hand-roll), and their look of abject distracted smoke poverty... they have it in their hands, and they cant smoke it, its falling apart and looks awful.
I also know that it looks like a drug crazed joint, and so do they!

i am more of a social smoker & i stopped smoking for almost a year. Wasnt easy cause my group of friends who i hang around with all smokers. As you said Hifi you intend to increase your appetite which happened to me...now i started again...smoking like 2 or 3 a day.
Ah yes, Marti and Hifi, thats another reason to discourage me from giving up smoking....... the fat! I think Im too vain! I would rather die younger, than live longer and be fat. I see all the people around me who have given up smoking, and they got nice big fat hips and thighs. Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
10 years to learn to roll tobacco? What sort of tobacco is it for Chrissakes?!
Ah, now, I had a lovely story to tell you, about the 10 yrs... but it was too long, so now I will just tell the truth.....
You see, one can buy a little gadget that does the rolling, without the humps and bumps, or the funnel shape that resembles a you-know-what one gets from hand-rolling..... and so I used the gadget. But, since moving here to CH, and the plastic rolling part cracked up in the infernally heated interiors they have here.... it didnt respond to the anti-wrinkle cream, or the age-defying cream, or the Aloe Vera concoction, or the olive oil, that I use on myself..... so, now I roll strictly by hand. And taken over the last 20yrs, of various attempts, inbetween buying a new gadget, I calculate that it has taken me 10 years to master the art... where I no longer even rely on that gadget anymore. Does that answer the question?
Now I got a New Ambition... I want to be able to roll one using only one hand... like a cowboy.

Yes well I have been hand rolling with no gadgets for donkey years.
Tom Cat (from Tom and Jerry) can put the baccy and paper in his mouth and out comes a ready rolled cigarette (I think it was in Texas Tom that he did that). It is a very neat party trick...why not try that?

You will feel proud of yourself with every passing day, then week, month... of not smoking.
The most effective image in my mind was the number of dirty messy stubbs I hadnt crushed into the numerous ashtrays fouling my home. It comes to an astonishingly large number of stubbs when you multiply your 'ex' daily smoking rate with the number of days since quitting. The sheer stale filth that smoking surrounds one with disappears.
Keep the faith

- could not do that
there are other ways .. best is not having any at home ..
but then as Smokey truthfully stated .. looking with doggy eyes to others tobacco is very degrading as well - I know that too well
