I was once told that it is easier to quit crack than to quit smoking.

It is “easier” to quite opiates than it is to quit nicotine. The better success rate is to quit cigarettes & the drug of choice at the same time.

I know a pair of crackheads from Oregon who have managed to stay clean for about 10 years now, who also smoke cigarettes, that will tell you that's not exactly a true comparison. Just sayin...….

I heard it from a smoker and former crackhead. Often, former addicts m replace one addiction with another. I go, on occasion to AA meetings and, in my group, some were smokers.

I found quitting smoking to be extremely difficult. I had even quit for 2 years and restarted. However, on 1 Dec 1986 I crushed my pack, tossed it in the trash. I started chewing peppermint gum and telling myself "No" for 10 minutes at a time. That is the approximate length of a nicotine urge. I have not had another cigarette since.
I must say, the Air Force did kinda help. They banned smoking in the hospital. At Wright-Pat, one could not wear scrubs below the 2nd floor (the OR suite was on the 2nd floor). There was no way I could get changed into my uniform, go outside smoke a cigarette and drink a cup of coffee, get back upstairs, change back into scrubs and return to my case in a 15 minute break.

Bravo! And the Air Force helping sounded like the time my Army JROTC Sergeant Major "helped" me off the rapelling tower!
One of my grandfathers smoked, until he saw me at age 4 running around with a pipe that blew bubbles, doing what he did. He took a ride in his truck, rolled down the window, and threw his pipes out the window. Never knew that until long after he'd passed, can't imagine the self-will that must have taken.
