Thanks to everyone in this thread. I’m on day 17 of no smoking. Hearing these stories made me think it’s possible to quit this unhealthy habit. I still have cravings but it’s manageable at this point.

I quit when I was about 3 or 4 but switched to plugs, snuff, dip, and chewing tobaccy. I am older and folks who rolled their own were smoking cigs and not weed back then.
Around 21 I quit all of it cold turkey and never looked back. Booze was a better addiction and I knew folks in EKY making old school booze.
Good luck, you may be saving your own life
Folks in family using tobacco died in 60's and 70's
Folks in family who quit by 40 got into their 80's
Folks in family who never used got to their 90's and some were near 100

Cold turkey. For me it was more about breaking the habit then the nicotine addiction.
After eating I would suck on a jolly rancher. Had lots of candy in truck. If I absolutely had to smoke I'd hit a joint. After 2 weeks cigs tatse like shite.

You'll get to the point that you can't believe you ever smoked, and you'll be mad at yourself for ever having done so. Keep it up.

I would take chantix for about a month and always start up again. So I spaced the chantix pills out to 1 every other day and stayed on it for an extended period of time. Like 4-6 months and when I got off I was done.
It helps not being around other smokers, but I'm like a year and a half in and I'm good. Never going back to that shite.

Cold turkey for my wife and I. We were both ready to quit and it has not been a problem. It helped that I had Covid pneumonia a week or so earlier, but I do not miss it one bit. We crushed up our packs and said frick it. That was it.
But like I said, we were ready to quit.
Exactly a year later we found lung cancer in me. Stage 3. Was NOT wide spread but I am cancer free now. This all just happened in the last two years.
