Just to let you know I found those "old time" snacks of cinnamin toothpicks and ordered some off the web. They are really great and are HELPING a lot. Very inexpensive too.

I found several articles that sunflower seeds are GOOD for quitting. So I stand corrected. 'Sunflower seeds reduce the body�s craving for nicotine by filling the nicotine receptor sites. The infusions strengthen blood vessels and nerves and cushions the impact of withdrawal.' Who would of thought???

I started eating sunflower seeds. I figured they were small and it took a while to eat them. Nuts are fairly healthy. Well don't make this mistake. After 7 days of eating them I all the sudden have blisters on the tip of my tongue. Not a very good substitute at all. This is just a warning.

Thanks for that advise, strangely enough i just bought some today and already noticed it because of the salt i guess. Maybe try the salt free [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 6/1/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 27 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 332 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $195.75 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 13 [B]Seconds:[/B] 44

Hi Navigator, I have been living on sunflowers seeds while on the computer in the evenings these past 10 months. I get the salt free or reduced sodium and the only draw back I have noticed is dried lips....

I remember those cinnamon sticks. Haven't seen them for years. So when I quit, I just picked up a bottle of stick cinnamon at the dollar store and used those. Convienient size, nice shape for handeling, fine for flavor, and they last a long time.

Thanks for the tip! Keeping your mouth occupied can help with the craves! Use low calorie foods and veggies to snack on as well! Keep Strong, Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
