How did you quit smoking cigarettes?

Just don't buy them anymore.

Didn't start

The smell and taste combined with the increased severity of hangovers when I smoked.

Also, dip. Don't recommend that path.

Nicotine gum about 14 years ago. I still chew it so there's that. You probably smoked little enough where you might be able to get by without it.

Quit my job, bought an expensive bicycle and took the summer off from work. Well, I did enough to stay alive. 6/12/78.

Quit about 7 years ago. Switched to a vape pipe that leaked and did not work half the time. Kept trying different brands and it was always a battle to get on to work.

I drove a lot back then and it was a physical addiction as well as the nicotine. When I got in my car I had to have a cigarette.

After about three months of fighting with the pipe, I gradually just stopped .

I would still get strong urges for a year or so. Funny thing is smelling it or seeing somebody smoking did not bother me one bit. It would just hit me at random times. Looking back, it was easier than I thought.

Every time you get the urge just beat off instead.

I liked these better than gum.

You just stop. You don't do nicotine substance then you have to recognize your patterns that trigger your desire to smoke. One of my big triggers was alcohol and it's been about 5 years but I can finally drink without wanting to smoke a cigarette. I basically gave up alcohol for a few years because that's what made me slide back in the past. Coffee was another trigger but I just knew that I was going to want a cigarette paired so that I broke that habit.

Slowly. I first quit my morning smoke. Worked my way from there to quiting and now have no urge to smoke.
