Give and get support around quitting
People quitting smoking often use food as a dopamine substitute as well as something to do with their mouths.
Music, Exercise, (Chocolate), And Hobbies
Also Release Dopamine.
Frozen Grapes Are Great.
The small individual gelatins (25cal)
and popscicles are also good choices.
(You can make your own)
Hungry Yet?
I also remember you finding a reference that stated that simply LOOKING at scrumptious food releases dopamine. You don't even have to eat it.......'course - who can RESIST chocolate???

I need to look at chocolate like YoungAtHeart
I'm always looking for a natural dopamine high (smoking really messes up the system) like crossing things of a list, chocolate, excerise (haven't tried that too much yet) etc. I'm slowly trying to change up my eating habits of crap food. When I quit I turned to carrots and cucumbers and more healthier stuff. Crunchy stuff. I still gained weight regardless as I was a bit chubby before quitting. You have to gain a lot of weight for it to be impacting and if I do snack bad here and there it beats smoking
