To quit smoke. How?

[Chaitai]

I’ve tried everything and have used Tobbaco since I was 16.  So 27 years.  I have got Chantix from my doctor yesterday.  I’ve not started it yet as I’m on antibiotics for a infection in my hand.  And now on another because I got something called thrush.  So maybe another week I’ll start it and this better work.

for me the gum and vaping seemed to help someone posted back in the day all the horror stories that came with vaping but it was the oral fixation i personally might have acquired because i also started smoking at a younger age when i was hanging out with older people and it was just the typical thing to do. looking back at everything now with a different set of eyes you just need to find what works for you and work on it one day at a time.

Yea quitting smoking can be a pain. It’s weird because I was addicted to cigarettes when I was much younger and quit with only like 3 days of full blown withdrawals. Then more recently I got into vaping and I’ve tried to quit twice with full blown withdrawals lasting over a week which is strange. Possibly because of the much higher nicotine level and frequency of the vaping. Gonna try again soon but of course other life stress is not exactly motivating me to do it right now.

Probably right now is a tough time to do anything such as quitting a habit that helps one get through. Good Luck. Go easy on yourself now.

In deed it is a rough time to quit anything now with all that is happening in the world. Thank you Charon and God bless.

May I recommend a book that destroyed my 26 year relationship with smoking?

It's called "allen carr's easyway to stop smoking"

I swear to you , this is not a scare tactic book.  This is a logistical book that will explain to you
how and why you are in this situation.  Coming from someone that TRIED EVERYTHING,
cutting back, non-smoking m3ds, hypnosis (lol) , you name it , I tried it.

THIS BOOK is effective.  You have nothing to lose!  Good Luck!

I wish I would have known about the book when I finally quit. I would have liked to try something like that.   I ended up quitting on a m3d but did not feel great while taking.  But I kept telling myself it is still better than not smoking.  It will be 2 years on Feb 14th for Me and I had been smoking over 30+ yrs.  I wish luck on anyone who tries.  It is hard but so worth it,
