Fake cigarettes?
August 8, 2005 11:52 PM Subscribe
I need some help quitting smokes. I am trying to find a fake cigarette (not EZquit) to puff on.
I remember seeing a "styrofoam" cigarette that came in a normal pack and looked and felt exactly like the real thing.
If anyone could help me find such a thing and a place to get it online, my lungs would owe you big.
Does anyone have any alternatives that worked well in your case? I can master the nicotine but the process and feeling of smoking always gets me.

And sorry for not reading all the way to the end, you said not EZQuit.

I chewed and played with toothpicks -- for years before, while, and years after quitting (but no longer). Round, not flat -- and the faux-round square are the worst (due to splinters).

I switched to an occaisional cigar instead of daily cigarettes. The cigars get less and less frequent without any extra sweat on my part.

There are fake ciagrettes for theatre and film. Check with sellers of theatrical/film supplies.

I quit with about 3 or 4 packs of these fairly disgusting but satisfyingly dragable things.

Response by poster: Well, I found what I was remembering:
Smoker's Option
I don't know that I would trust ordering from this site, but we'll see.
Thanks for all the great ideas, I'm going to give it a real try this time.

Response by poster: Loooong overdue update: I called the company and they were very friendly, mailing out the carton the same day. (The site is not the way I remembered but I recognise the name of the parent company) Very worth it if you think that something like this could help you.

I had a friend who quit by chewing altoids every time he wanted a square.
