Dude!!!! That is awesome news keep working on it!!!! SCG helped me get over smoking last year. I used patches and lozenges to do it. Once I had them on hand I got rid of all my cigarettes and didn't light up again. I was able to step through the different levels of patches pretty quick. I used each dose of patch for two weeks I think along with the lozenges. I want to say I didn't even use the lozenges after about a month. By that time I was able to make it through a craving without putting something in my mouth. I smoked for about 20 years. Yes it is hard but you can do it!!!! 
e We will help cheer you on.

Yes you can do it Bama and you can also get the patches for free. I think there is a link on the Al.gov website. You call and sign up over the phone and they mail them to you for free. That is what I did.
I switched to snuff from cigarettes sometime near the end of 2012. Haven't had a cigarette since, just quit them cold turkey. I'm still enjoying nicotine, but without the lung issues or danger to others. Mouth cancer is still a possibility, but Sweden, where a large portion of the population uses snuff, doesn't have any higher mouth cancer statistics than other countries.
I do still get a craving for a smoke sometimes though. Especially when someone is smoking a bit further from you, and the wind catches just the faintest whiff of the smell. Mmmmm.

I packed up smoking 18 months back after smoking for 55 years, it's unbelievable how much better life is without them, most days I would get through 50 0n a good day 60....how good is that ?

Oh I'm not quitting yet, I think you truly have to want to. I just smoke swisher sweets, and not a lot of them compared to the average smoker. Best of luck to bama though, not good for your health.
Vehve, wanna hear something gross, I started chewing snuff or Skoal when I was very young, like probably 10. Stole Skoal from my uncle and leaf pouch tobacco from grampa. Most my friends did the same and we all shared. My senior yr highschool I swallowed a Skoal bandit 'pouch' keep from getting suspended from school. Made me so sick I never chewed again. Now when ever I'm around someone chewing and spitting and I smell it my mouth starts watering and I crave it, gross but it tells you how much it adicts you, I haven't chewed in 21 years.

Congrats, Dude, keep it up!
I smoked for about 15 years. I tried to quit many, many, MANY times and something would always make me start back. I had a cigarette in my mouth in the bathroom as I waited on the bar on the stick (HPT) to show up. It did and I dropped that cigarette in the toilet and haven't had one since. The funny thing was, it really was not that hard once picking them back up was not an option for 10 months. I made up my mind that if I could quit for 10 months, I could quit forever. I don't understand people that quit for a year, or longer, and then start back. You couldn't pay me to have one now, just because I know how hard it is to stop, and how nice it is not to be hooked on them. It is amazing how much power that burning stick has over your life. There are still times when I feel that urge to smoke. I'll be driving down the road and think, "If I still smoked, I'd have one right now." It is easy to ignore, it just strikes me as odd that after 20 years, I still have sudden cravings.
Dude, the first two weeks are the hardest, then it slowly gets progressively easier. The trick is to make smoking no longer an option. Make up your mind that you are NOT going to try to quit, you ARE going to quit. I really hope you make it.

Beer, the swedish snuff is a bit different than the US chew tobacco. Swallowing it will make you pretty sick too, though.
