I've seen many people try the e-cig,the nicotine gums or the patches,but in the end,nothing works if you're not strong enough.

Actually,the only guy I know that managed to quit smoking (more than a year without one) simply said one day "I quit smoking,I am too young and it's bad for me".He hasn't touched a cigarette since.It's all in your mind imo.

Going cold turkey requires a huge amount of self commitment and will.

I dont think its possible to go at it that way if you had been smoking for years.

I smoked for 10+ years, and one day just decided to stop (for various reasons). Compared with friends who have tried different stuff (patches, gum, e-cig...) it took them much longer, they looked just as unhappy (but for a longer period) and quite a few started smoking again after a while.

The bad period is tough, but relatively short, so hang in there. If you manage to stop cold turkey it will also give you the will power to not start again (at least that's what I keep telling myself and I haven't smoked in more than 23 years).

[The Reckoning]

chew gum and tally up how much you spend a year in cigs....use that money after a year to go on a vacation or buy something nice.

livestrong has a quitcoach app if youre into those sorts of things. i didnt use it because ive never had a smart phone.

[The Reckoning]

more like 3 years give or take

Its much easier to wean yourself off the e-cig than with a real one.

Took me a few months, but eventually I stopped using the e-cig. I would just forget about it for a couple of days.

Then a week.

Then two.

I have a friend who quit cold turkey after getting a prescription for Wellbutrin... he smoked a pack a day

[jack sommerset]

Smoking is a tough habit to break. I'm very proud of you for trying. I will pray for you. God bless

Pain is motivation. After a night of heavy drinking and smoking, I woke up with a huge lung ache. Made me quit.

Lol not being able to quit without help. Too weak to do it on your own :lmao

[Venti Quattro]

If you have to quit you have to do it without dependence on nicotine. That's the point of trying to quit

[leemajors]

I think it's fairly different for everyone. Some people swear by hypnotism for it.

[TheRealCB]

I think cold turkey is the best way...Can't really understand how hard it is since I was never a smoker (smoked a few times of course) but that's the only way I ever saw working.

[xellos88330]

I've tried all sorts of stuff to quit smoking. Gums, patches, pills, magnets... pretty much everything. Using the E-Cigarette has been the only thing that has worked for me. I haven't had a real cigarette for almost a year now. They also have some cartomizers and oils that limit the nicotine levels. I started at 24mg, and am now down to 11mg. Next step is 8mg and then 0. Just stick with it man.

Oh, what brand of E-Cig you use?

[symple19]

lol I don't even remember starting this thread last night. I was mad fucked up


anyway, I've got V2 and Regal e-cigs. Seems like it's working pretty well, I only hit em' when I'm having a bad craving or after meals.

You haven't even replaced the addiction, nicotine. You've just change the vector.

[redzero]

Why do people take up smoking when they know it's bad for them and addictive? I just don't get that.

[Wild Cobra]

Here's how to quite smoking.

Take two weeks off work.

Throw away the cigarettes you have.

Buy some weed.

Any time you feel like having a cigarette, take a bong hit.

After doing this for two weeks, you will still have cravings for cigarettes, but it will be tolerable. The weed isn't addictive.

Then you are doing it the right way. You shouldn't have any problems. Just remember to save up some money for the refills otherwise you would be really tempted to buy a pack of cigarettes instead of getting the stuff to help you quit.

[Drachen]

This isn't the way I did it, but I applaud your effort and wish you luck.

I have two employees who are heavy smokers. One took it upon himself to buy an e-cig. He used to take 4-6 smoke breaks every day. today he is 8 weeks smoke free. The other one was 'prompted' by us to get one. He is 3 weeks smoke free at the office. He too took 3-6 smoke breaks daily. It's been a huge help in productivity... not to mention, the office no longer reeks of smoke.

[symple19]

thanks for all the advice

when you say smoke free, do you mean actually smoke free, or just using the e-cig?

Just got one today tbh. How'd this work out for you, symple19 ?

[Huey Freeman]

In my case I was just trying to fit in tbh. My friends were doing it....so on and so on. I regret that decision everyday I pickup a cigarette. I would love to stop smoking, but the crutch is there ya know.
