You took the right step mate. I was smoking for 21 years and left 2 years back all of a sudden. It was quite tough in the initial days but all it requires is will power

Here is my story on how I quit smoking, WITHOUT HAVING INTENTION TO GO FOR IT EVER AGAIN. Sorry I just had to write it like that lol.
So one night a friend of mine and me were sitting outside smoking a ciggarette, and my friend just said(out of nowhere) : Lets quit smoking. So I agreed and we left that bench and were to meet tomorrow evening again. Pretty easy right?
Well here is the hell I went trough the day after the bench sitting. Troughout the whole day I had no cravings to light one up but somewhere at 6pm I went outside to meet that friend again and here the hell began:

The moment I step foot outside the cravings began. It was so intense I was literally fighting my mind not to light one up(keep in mind that I still had some cigs left that I didnt throw away). So in a walk that lasted about 20min I was fighting my mind, should I smoke or not? I came early to the place where I was meeting my friend and I sat down and was still having a war inside my head, while it was heating up in there I took out my tobacco, rolling paper and filter to roll one. STILL FIGHTING IF I SHOULD TAKE IT OR NOT. So i finished rolling and in my head I was still nopeing for it but mechanicly lighted and took 2 inhales. Then my mind just became peacful, I realized that the chaos I had was for nothing and that there was no point in lighting it up. It was just a moment of realization and I threw that cig away with everything I had papers, filters etc.

So eventually my friend came and asked me if I had smoked and I lied. Which made me realise that I was lying to myself and it just made my decision stronger to not smoke anymore. Now its been a year and I am disgusted when I smell cigs and dont have the intention to smoke ever again

If you need mental guidance with this(anyone) I will be sure to help as I took my time to write down that process and I researched it and did an analsys. Pretty much helped a bunch of friends quit in a short spam of time. PM me I will be glad to help.

I smoked cigs from the age of 16-22. I gave them up and bought myself an e-cig. Still has nicotine, so I guess that isn't really "quitting," but it's a much better alternative, and I don't do it anywhere near as often.

Was carrying lighter with me long before I tried my first cigarette.
You never know when you need to light something

i goy your point right there.
this method its just something that came poped out in my mind when i wanna try quit smoke. cause litelary you cant light your ciggar without lighter and of course you can borrow it from someone. But some time you just too "lazy" to borrow lighter from anyone

Don't go to the "reduce" trap. Stupid idea. Either quit it or smoke. There is no in between.

My favorite smoking is hookah I smoke 3+5 in a day

 

[Leretes]

My main problem is that I don't wanna quit because I really like the smoking process. But I understand how bad it is.

 

[LateefInvisible03]

I can’t imagine my life without some

Smoked for 8 years and stopped this January, still going strong. Before this, I stopped a few dozen times. In my honest opinion, all you need to do is keep trying to stop. Stop every day if you need to. I literally went to bed every night and told myself - tomorrow I'll stop, untill I really got the balls to do it.

I've listened to a podcast where they say psilocybin (you have it in magic mushrooms - shrooms) is a VERY effective substance in efforts to stop smoking. There are several researches on the internet connected to it. It's worth trying if you're willing to experiment.

Smoker for 4 years

smoked for about 5 years, got a nicotine vape a couple months ago that i'm more addicted to than anything.

i think i have it in my hand like 40% of the time im at the computer, so its probably worse in some ways. Definitely causes gums to be inflamed and probably recede more than smoking.

on the positive side, i havnt even thought about a cigarette in months until i saw this post lmao

 

[opencube]

I used to smoke 2 packs a day. I think I was more addicted to the smoking behavior then nicotine itself.
What I did is I stopped smoking at home and only smoke when hang out with friends then leave the cig to friends when I leave or throw it to the bin. Never take home.
Didn't really count how many days without smoking, because I didn’t put focus on quitting, but more in smoke less. Eventually I did stayed away from smoking for a long while, my very last cig made me very dizzy and had to puke in toilet because my body didn’t like it anymore. Then never smoke since.

This is a very clever method, I must say.

Why you bumping year old threads?

I liked the method she proposed.

Why are you harassing people?

Actually, you know what, nevermind answering that, welcome to my ignore instead, a free offer open to anyone else with the same preoccupations. Wth is going on in your heads, every other thread is replete with "oh, BHW is such a wealth of information" and every time someone posts something is "omg, why are you highlighting great threads". What, any post besides "free sample plz" irritates your sensibilities or something ?!

Been smoking since 15. I used to smoke 2 packs a day, but have now decreased to 10 sticks per day... Still trying to quit. What helps me minimize the craving is relplacing cigs with mentos, menthol candies or mints

I just assumed she meant a blowjob. I mean, if it's oral fixation she's dealing with... right ?

Otherwise good god, it's be obesity suicide, you're probably better off smoking.
