Cold turkey has the highest relapse rate. Don't do pills such as Chantix, they have terrible side effects. Set a time line to taper down and stick to it, mind over matter.

so taper down on how much I do per day? Like for one week only do 4, then the next 3 and so on till i no longer need the niccotine?

I quit cigarettes and dip once upon a time. Self Control. Learn how to say no. The first month is rough, from the detox side of it. But it's doable. Just don't give in.

Puss...if you're going to quit do it because you want to not because a girlfriend told you too. Grow a pair Francis. It's not even a wife...good grief.

Eta: ecigs got me to dislike cigarettes. You can progressively lower the nicotine levels. Unless you're one of those "omg ecigs are so gay" types.

Just start vaping. You can fit all your vape accessories in your cargo shorts or carpenter jeans.

quote:in seriousness dude do it quicker. 4, 3, 2, 1 in consecutive days as soon as you really decide to do it. The addictive nature of nicotine is almost overblown, I'm convinced people would quit easier if the "OMG super addictive" aspect wasnt pounded into everyone's head. It's 90% psychological. Just embrace the suck, and deal with being uneasy and irritable for a few days. There is no easy way around it. That's all there is to it. Think about other things, keep yourself busy, eat sunflower seeds. Don't be a pussy and just do it

4 to 5 pinches a day doesn't sound like a lot. That shouldn't be too hard. I dipped for 15 years. If I wasn't eating or sleeping I had a dip in. I've been off the dip for going on 4 years and the gum is what helped me.

I did it cold turkey.
It'll never happen until you want it to so tell the gf to forget about it until then. I got tired of wondering when I'd have half my jaw removed. Do yourself a favor and image search some mandibulectomy pics after oral cancer

I actually agree with this. Quitting sucks for a few days and there are always rare occasions when you have to tell yourself no, but, it can be done if you have the determination to do it
