There are all kinds of methods & aids out there to help you quit smoking, but I myself prefer to always go the way of a gadget.

This Nicostopper is designed to help you can that smoking, and fast!  This device locks down 10 cigarettes total and only deliver them back to your anxious hand at your preset time periods.  I reallty like this idea & it’s a great aid to quit smoking, but couldn’t you just run to the store before your preset times allow you to have a smoke? 

Cost, a whopping $300.  I’ll tell you what, you pay me $10 per hour to hold your cigarettes & we’ll call it even.
