Quitting Smoking Sucks!

Just chew Nicotine gum. I quit years ago. I'm addicted to the gum now so there's that. But I don't smoke anymore

Come take a ride to the hospital with me this afternoon to visit my dad. He's 59 and is in ICU with congestive heart failure after more than 30 years of smoking.

Just use fentanyl instead

Chantix works well if you don't mind extremely bizarre dreams.

Ordered some from Wish the other day. Just gotta make it three weeks.

You’ll get a few responses from folks who smoked 4 cigs a day for 2 years who will say if they can do it anyone can. Not sure how much or how long you smoked but if quite a bit, it will take a week to 2 to get over the nicotine part, yes I realize nicotine is out of your body before than but you still have cravings. It will take 2-4 weeks to get over the habit part, coffee, driving, talking with other smokers, etc. May take up to a year to get over the mental part, wanting a smoke during stressful times, changes, dreams, etc. I used chantix for a month and quit.

Nicotine gum. Gives your mouth something to do while giving you some nicotine. Please don’t start vaping.

I used the patch. You just have to decide that you really want to do it, which doesn't happen all at once. Then you get used to telling yourself no, which also gets easier with time. That's really the key, imo. Time. After a year or two you still occasionally think about it, but it greatly fades. In my experience at least.

I've tried to move on to cigars.

I waited about 6 months after I quit cigarettes. I’ll smoke a cigar during morning deer hunts with coffee, and I’ll buy 2 every year for vacation. I probably smoke 8-10 a year, very seldom finish them. I would say last year I probably smoked 5-6 at most.

ETA: I’m speaking of cigars, haven’t smoked a cigarette since I quit

I did the vape pipe after quiting cold turkey. Only used the cheap arse vape pipes that leaked and always had a dead battery. About nine months of fighting with them I finally had enough and gave up vaping as well.

The urges gradually away. Fight through them. You can do it.
