re: How did you quit smoking cigarettes?

I had to start dipping. I tried to quit smoking several times, never being successful. I started dipping and found it much easier to ween off of that for whatever reason. And, oddly enough, even though it was much easier to quit, I still crave skoal from time to time, whereas you’d have to pay me to smoke a cigarette.

Quit cigs and started dipping heavy again. Quit dipping and did not nicotine for a good 8-9 months before picking up a gas station vape. Now I have a pretty small vape that I refill. I know it’s not cool but I’ll never believe that it’s worse than inhaling burnt tobacco and paper or putting tobacco directly on my teeth and gums.

Also, I don’t smell like shite or have gum decay, so that’s a plus.

I quit by using Zyn. Now I’m addicted to Zyn, but I don’t smell like smoke, nothing in it is carcinogenic, and I’ve yet to snap and kill someone going through nicotine withdrawals.

Tried quitting for years. Read a book called The Easy Way to Quit Smoking, and it really helped. I had also decided it was time. I’ve had a few since then, but never had the urge to pick it back up.

Nailed it.

I quit drinking coffee for a couple of months along with sweet tea and soft drinks. I’ll never forget the day I decided to start back with coffee. I made it as normal and by the time I got a quarter cup in, my head felt like it was going to explode and my hands started shaking. To this day, I can’t have much caffeine. Haven’t had a Coke in almost 20 years now.

Didn’t have the same problem with beer.

This thread is basically a white trash convention.

I just never started
