trying to quit smoking.

[DoomDude1]

so my question is:
-what are some healthy things to pick up to release stress
-should i go cold turkey and tough out?
-are there mental or dietary tricks that could help

1) Chew gum and take up some outdoors activities
2) Cold turkey's the most effective way
3) When you feel the stress piling up, go for a walk, after every meal chew gum. Keep your eating habits strict, most people who quit smoking tend to start eating snacks and stuff too much.

About the gum chewing, be very careful. Most brands of chewing gum contain laxatives, meaning you will have a... unpleasant time. Second off, gum isn't all that healthy. If you have to chew it, keep it under control, else you'll mess up your digestive system and your bowels.
And yes, cold turkey works I suppose.
