Anyone quit smoking cigarettes?

How did you do it? I’m on day 2. Morning’s are the toughest. I’ve been smoking since I was 15 and I’m 33 now. Finally called the quitline and was given patches and logenzes. On a scale of 1 to 10 how committed to quitting I am I’m a 10. It’s just not sustainable.

Have you simply tried cutting back? How many do you smoke per day?
I know some people who don’t even think about smoking unless they’re having a few drinks.
Not every smoker is the same.

The very first step to successfully quit is wanting to quit. After that start running 
I struggle as well.

I did. Went from a pack a day on average (18-28) with a few times I would "quit". Came off the road, put them down cold, and just bit down and dealt with it. Within a week I was good. Have a craving every now and then when I'm drinking, but usually if I smell them now, it's pretty nauseating. Stick with it. It's just shitty for a little while, but the reward is worth every millisecond

I swapped to those On pouches with lowest nicotine level. Best I can do.

I quit almost 30 years ago with the use of patches.
It was pretty easy.
You can do it too.

Got off all nicotine 5+ years ago after 26 years of smoking. Never again.

I used to smoke about 1/2 pack a day and a pack when I went out drinking. I gradually cut down to 2 cigs a day-one before I left for work and one when I got home, essentially going about 10 hours between smoking. I suggest you gradually cut back. Once you get to the point where you are smoking 2-3 cigarettes a day, it becomes easier. Cold turkey quitting never worked for me.

Apparently this book helps a lot of people. Never read it, but people swear by it.

I quit about 15 years ago. Tough as heck that first 10 days but gets easier. Nicorette helped me with the phys addiction.

Quit 8 years ago from a pack or more a day. After trying 100 times, I finally committed to quit and did it cold turkey. I tried patches, gum, and others but one night I put them down knowing I had to in order to live a better life.

I had to start dipping. Lozenges and gum didn’t work for me. I was able to ween my way down by dipping.

Enlist a friend, like an AA sponsor. Commit to calling your friend BEFORE you light up.
It gets easier every day. In 2-3 weeks, you will wake up one morning feeling the best you have since the morning after you popped your cherry.

Many people start dipping, better to have mouth and gum cancer than lung cancer.

I know next to nothing about this, but I have a buddy who went from a daily smoker to an occasional vaper (if that’s a word). I know even less about vapes, and I don’t know if there is a difference between the ones people use recreationally and what he used to stop smoking cigarettes. Looks like a stubby kazoo that emits a little bit of odorless smoke that evaporates quickly.
Best of luck in your journey.

I was in your boat but went to 35ish. I used the patch and sunflower seeds. Once you get some time under your belt, just recognize you'll throw it all away if you slip up.
I still have the occasional dream that I smoked and blow my 15 years of tobacco free living. I wake up pissed at myself.

I gave up smoking because my old neighbor who smoked scared the shite out of me one time when I picked up one of her lit cigarettes and took a puff. Millie, she had a gruff smokers voice and scared the 5 -6 year old me a lot.
Never had the desire to smoke because of that.
