A local shop has popped up called The Vapor Factory. They sell vaporizers and my step-mom went and got one. I tried it several times and it really did the trick to ward my nicotine cravings off.
For those who don't know what it is, a vaporizer is a thing that has a battery, chamber, and heater coil that contains a flavored water with nicotine in the chamber. It is refillable and the battery is chargeable. The flavors go for $13 at the local place and they last about a week at my usage levels (10+ packs of cigarettes a week).
My step mom upgraded hers to a higher end piece and gave us her old one. My wife upgraded the tank on that one, I got an adjustable power battery, tank, and battery charger, and we each got a flavor. I got my preference in flavor in 18mg nicotine and my wife got hers at 6mg. All in all, we paid $74 and some change.
Since then, about 3 weeks ago, I've smoked less than 10 cigarettes an I don't crave them at all. I went from spending around $60 a week on cigarettes to $13 a week.
The big thing for me while trying to quit was the physical action of smoking, which was as important to me as the actual effects of the nicotine. Patches did little more than prolong my intervals between cigarettes by a few minutes and make each cigarette stronger. Sunflower seeds, bubblegum, Jolly Ranchers, you name it, just didn't cut it.
I'm not selling these things so don't take this as an advertisement, but if you want to quit smoking the very easiest way possible, get a vaporizer.
The middle one is the one that I have, plus a battery that's about 5" long. All in all, it's about 8" long and they're durable as hell.
I'd recommend it as a definite alternative to smoking.
