Quitting smoking

[Riverbassfishing]

I have tried numerous times to quit smoking. I can make it through the 3 days but always struggle with the mental part of it. I know its not easy but i know many people who quit. The first week is the hardest. I am still young but it is so expensive. Feel free to share any quitting stories.

Take a spin by a Sloan Kettering facility.

I quit cold turkey after 20 years. It may still happen, but I can't go backwards.

Google emphysema. I witnessed it. Made me never light up again

Coughed up blood two consecutive mornings--then quit cold turkey--after first week it was a piece of cake & never looked back..three pack a day habit....

Think of the money you will save.
Remember how badly you smell to non-smokers!

If you figure it out Will let me know. Would love to kick this habit myself but have been unsuccessful so far!! Tried the gum and that did nothing as did the patch. Cold turkey might be the only way!!

Quit cigaretts cold turkey just over 25 years ago. After 1st week it was a piece of cake.

How are you holding up Will?

Not sucessful yet but im going to keep trying. Hardest part of quitting is actually breaking the habit.

Im in the same boat - tired of smoking but I actually have it worse.. my problem is not the first week... its 35 - 50 days in when life becomes so stressful with the day to day.. that I turn to it and light up...

The new gen e cigs are not the cheap disposable ones you find in gas stations. They perfectly simulate the real thing, from the vapor to the throat hit.

I switched over to vaping 3 years ago. As far as I'm concerned, it's the same as quitting, w/o the pain. No need to be a masochist about it, PM me with any questions.

I too quit smoking after 25 years with e cigs.

I wouldn't reccommend the ones in the gas stations.

They work but are very expensive.

The kit listed above is OK but I would reccomed a variable voltage battery and a protank as the best starter.

Drop me a line and I can point you in the right direction.

Will make the break easier on yourself.
Don't try all at once, change your smoking habit by not lighting up at the same time every. If you take a smoke break every half hour make it one hour, or 45 min.
Change some thing every day Good Luck

Everybody quits differently , get the E-Cig , they work/worked for my wife - Chew regular gum instead of having a cigarette , get some life-savers something . Try a toothpick ??? - Do you workout ? Drink a ton of water

It took me 4 times over a couple of years and going cold turkey worked for me - you need to find what works for you - Once again everybody is different

If I can do it anybody can Hang in there - best thing you can do is keep trying and dont give up


GDubs-:D - Goodluck
