Thank you!

If it's a bot, it's a very nice and polite bot. :)

Nicotine is quite addictive in itself. But there's also a habit of smoking, which can be hard to get rid of aside from the addiction to nicotine. Like every time you finish eating, first thing on your mind is a cigarette. Same when you wake up. And longer you smoke, the stronger that habit becomes.

So in order to quit, one need to kill the habit, and get rid of the addiction to nicotine. And that is quite an uneasy task to accomplish. Especially if you been smoking for years.

It's hard to quit smoking, it really is. But anyone can do it, if they themselves really want to quit, it can be done. And with every day that you don't smoke, you feel better, stronger, healthier and more confident. Almost God-like feeling, I'm not kidding, and just for that felling, I'd start smoking again, and than quit smoking once more. lol

A very serious suggestion: Never ever a single puff ever again if you manage to quit. That little may be enough to make you start again. I have seen it several times.

Over seventeen years smoke-free now.

I witnessed it with my mother. She tried going the e-cigarette and stress therapy routes but that didn't work out too well for her (this was before vaping ever became the "in" thing). What helped her quit was unconventional, in the sense that she had to go in to the hospital to have open-heart surgery years ago. Once she made it out of that, she had little choice but to quit (couldn't smoke in recovery in a hospital and if she continued on once she left then it would've been like the surgery was for nothing). She passed away earlier this year, for reasons unrelated to the smoking, but I was still glad she was able to quit even if it came at a point in her lifetime where it was a bit too late to leave a lasting benefit on her overall health.

Congratulations. I know what you mean, i smoke now for 36 years and the worst part is really after finish eating or waking up. On the other hand i don't drink alcohol. Simply don't like it. doesn't taste good. :D

A very good suggestion. It takes just one cig to get back to it.

But not going to happen, even tho I have so many people around me smoking all the time. I'm actually at the point where I hate that "lovely" smell of cig burning.
Sorry to hear about your mother, my condolences friend.

I know a guy, who also went into surgery, and while being at the hospital for quite some time, he lost he's love for cigs completely.

I also know another guy, who went into needle therapy, specialized in making you quit smoking. At first it sounded like a joke, but after the therapy, he actually hated cigs like nothing else. And was able to quit, but got really fat afterwards tho.

So yeah, I believe there are more than one way to quit. Some even accidental...

Thank you!

I love alcohol, the taste and everything else that comes with it. But I don't drink that often. Never been a problem for me.

But 36 years of smoking, that's a lot. Honestly you need to quit. I swear to you friend, it is so much possible to do it with the help of the vape. Just try it.

And you don't have to quit smoking rightaway. I at first was lowering the number of cigs/day. And increasing the vape smoking, until I was smoking 50-60% less than usual. At that point, I was starting to hate smoking. And eventually was able to quit completely.

It's not easy, you do get crazy and all. Feel like you have too much energy and everything and everyone around you bothering you. But it's just a matter of time, and eventually after a week or two, it will get easier and easier and than you're free! Freedom!!! And also a great feeling that comes with it, and confidence as well.

Try it, get a cheap vape, and do it. I swear to you it works. And it's not as hard as you may think. Cause you get the nicotine, you just need to kill the habit of smoking.

Honestly, as weird as it might sound, I quit thanks to an Allen Carr's book. It's been 10 years now and I'm so proud of myself!
