Nicorette, my friend, Nicorette. Candy-coated mint nicotine rush goodness. Better then cigarettes, honest!
At first it tastes like you're chewing on a peppercorn but you get used to it, and it doesn't taste any worse then an actual cigarette.
You've got to be real too. For about four months you'll have to avoid getting completely tanked. And give yourself ever-increasing rewards for staying smoke-free, ex. after 4 days, a week, a month, at 4 months. That's really important, it keeps you motivated and pleased with yourself.
Don't slip and have a cig but if you do think about what happened and avoid doing it again and make SURE you don't think 'well I guess I screwed-up, I'll smoke for now and try to quit some other time'. That's what always messed me up.
