Because of peer pressure, my husband started smoking at 15, and he is 20 years old now. He tried to quit before, and it lasted a few months before he started again because of yet again friends saying "oh, just have one with us" or somking around him and making him crave it really bad.
He has a very stressfull job in the military where a lot of his co-workers smoke which makes it even harder to quit. He is away on course right now and gets home on the 12th of Dec. He plans on quitting as soon as he gets home because due to christmas he won't be working because the bases are closed. It is the perfect time for him because he won't have the pressure, and stress from his job.
He will basically be going cold turkey with the help of nicotine gum. I just wanted to know if anyone has any advice for him to quit and stay smoke free. I am very happy and excited for him, but he can use all the help he can get.

For the first 24 hours no food. He can drink all the water and fruit juice he wants. After 24 hours a bland diet with lots of fruit, juice and LOTS of water. Stay totally way from spices of any sort. No salt, pepper, nothing. And definitely no booze of any sort. Water will flush the nicotine out of the system. Booze and spices heighten the senses and actually will make him want to smoke. Be patient, loving and encouraging. This will be one of the hardest things he will do in his life, kicking any sort of habuit
