1080p same as last year

On a serious note I want to quit smoking but the reason I smoke is stress from the job so not sure how to approach that. Thinking of just going cold turkey since I am not a chain smoker and only smoke 3-5 cigarettes a day so the withdrawals should be manageable.

Quitting (anything) has a lot to do with you as a person. Some people can just do it cold turkey - they just have to try, others it’s a battle, but it is always better to start the journey, you’re worth it.

You guys are replying to a 2 year old comment. Very curious to see if they’ve quit by now!

Alan Carr- the easy way to quit smoking. It actually helps but you have to want to quit and really, actually follow the instructions. It works though.

I feel you. There’s only one antidote: time.

  • It’s good to make a disclaimer to anyone around you at work, family, etc. You will be more nervous and you cold act like an ass sometimes. You can bet on it.
  • Don’t take important decisions in the next month.
  • You will gain weight. Less smoke brings more food cravings. Try to compensate with walking.
  • Find something to fill your mouth. I used Liquorice root (helps me also with low blood pressure so it was a no brainer for me).
  • Keep on keeping on (cit.). You’ll have now and then desire, not need, desire to come back smoking. Compensate that with the thought of being free. Good Luck mate.

I quit smoking 3 packs a week in favor of vaping a few years ago, and the only reason I quit vaping is because of wisdom tooth surgery. I didn’t really want to, despite knowing I should, as I reasoned with myself that the vape isn’t that harmful. I quit a month ahead of my surgery because I knew stopping nicotine and weed at same time I’d be a grouch and I’m glad I did! Still miss it sometimes and I’ll occasionally smoke hookah or a blunt, but nice not to be feining for a hit of nicotine when I don’t have access.
