Celery for the WIN !!!
Another good snack are Veggie Straws.
Could not find under that name. Do you mean veggie snacks? (Thinly sliced veggies fried/baked to crispness?)
I avoided any kind of "substitutions" during the initial phase of quitting... like chewing gum, etc, at least after the first day. I wanted to
quit by G-d damn it, not play effing games with it.
Celery now for the weight gain, which has worked well in the past for minor weight spikes. Until I discovered that filling the celery stalk hollow part with yummy peanut butter, while delicious, was counter-productive in terms of calorie reduction. Carrots are out. As I mentioned, for some reason they give me the hiccups. Go figure.
Oh, and as far as smelling it on my clothes goes, yeah. Still seems to be percolating out from couch cushions and other high surface area items. Stale smell, different from my neighbor's smoking odor.
And I sure wish I knew what g-dawful cooking oil one of them uses. Smells like rancid yak fat. Or turnip oil. Or something unnatural. Or has gone through several preliminary stages of decomposition.
I have two small fans in the windows at opposite ends of the house, one gently blowing in, one gently exhausting, just to kind of coax the (former) cigarette smoke through and out. Undecided whether to keep that operation going to purge the persistent house odors, or to shut them down to keep out the other now-noticeable external smells.
