Smoke? Thinking of quitting?

[SpicyWY]

I've quit a couple of years ago. It wasn't easy, I should say. But it worth doing it. All the tastes and scents are different now and I don't have that terrible cough in the morning

Crazy things are going on here. I'm really into quit smoking, but still do these ugly thing with my body. Hey, ogden8, my congratulations to you! Some time ago I was smoking near my car, the weather was kind of windy and somehow the wind knocked the cigarette out of my hands. And guess where it decide to fall? Yep, right on my sit (the car was open)... Now, I'm a proud owner of car seat cushion pack. Try this things on, if it's not my imagination - sits now become a bit more comfortable.And nobody will see the what was happened, very useful thing, you know.

This might be the oldest thread revival I've ever seen, or at least that I've seen in a long time haha!

I took a prescriptoin of Chantix from my dentist about 4 months ago. I started to take the meds only half serious about quitting smoking. At the time, I smoked like a pack a day or so.

On this medication you can continue to smoke, just over time you crave the nicotine less because the medication blocks the nicotine receptors.

Well now I am smoke free and glad to get away from those f'ing things.

The side effects I experienced was an occosional temper flare and some crazy dreams. As far as temper, it didn't make me madder than I usually did, I just got mad faster. Didn't happen often. As far as the dreams, I didn't mind those either, I usually don't remember my dreams, but it was awesome having the dreams to be honest.

It's covered by most insurance, but if it isn't, really who cares, you'll save thousands in buying cigarettes.

Good for you man!

My x GF tried Chantix and it really put her over the edge sanity wise. Short temper, crazy thoughts. In the end it didn't work for her. She was never the same.

I want to quit smoking too. Can you please recommend some good and working methods for it, guys?

I just went on the patch for 9 weeks . But that was my 3rd try at quitting . I guess 3rd times a charm

Not sure about where you are but here the Gov now pays for stop smoking aids like patches . There is also a lot of online help and groups out there to support you . I just lost 2 more friends to lung cancer this fall

Good luck .

I quit for 14 months when I was 25. Started again. Quit again when I was 32 for 26 months. I started again after the 26 month layoff; then quite again 2 days later. Decided I was done with it. 2 months later my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. Not really sure what impact that had on my decision to stay away from it, but it's been a little over 35 years since I lit up.
No patches/drugs/therapy. Just the will to be rid of a dirty habit.
If I can do it, so can others.

Quit 6 months ago and couldn't be happier about it! It was very hard in the beginning but worth it. Read "Atomic Habits" if you want to hear some tips on battling bad habits

Havent bought a pack in a few months, but I still bum them off a coworker. It is definitely a hard habit to quit, but the gf hates the smell, and I refuse to smoke in my 'new' 4runner. Glad to hear that other put off this habit, and to hear that others are trying as well

Used Chantix twice to quit smoking the last three years or so. It never took more than a few months, and the last time I just wasn't getting over the cravings, mood swings, etc after 6 months and even taking Prozac and going to counseling.

So, I started vaping at the suggestion of my girlfriend. Quit smoking nearly a year ago. Now I'm just trying to slowly get off the vaping.

But no more stinking, no more high costs of cigarettes, no more ash burns in vehicles, increased blood flow to the nether regions... My girlfriend is much happier.

But vaping, yeah, not happy with the latest news about it. No way I can go back to cigarettes. The smell makes me sick, now.

What a *****! Is that okay to say here, especially when you're taking about yourself. Do ya ever go back and reread your posts? That came out a little harsh and that wasn't my intention.
Sorry if I offended you. Habits are hard to break. I applaud you for quitting and sharing how you did it. Keep at it!

Edit: I guess it's not ok, since it ***** out

yo, not bad to say, i feel like that about women lol.

Just doesn't seem healthy filling your lungs full of water vapor either.

I quit smoking a year ago. I think that after 5-10 years, tobacco cigarettes will not be used. it has already been proven that they greatly harm people's health and even lead to lung disease. Many smokers switch to electronic cigarettes or vape. The advantage is that nicotine is most often not used in their tanks. Therefore, there is no addiction. On this site you can read articles about the composition of E-juice https://vаpingdаily.com/ . It's much better than cigarettes.

I don't see water vapor as that big of an issue, but the chemicals that are in the vapor - no thanks.

I thank God I never started smoking and I'm glad there are alternatives for smokers trying to stop - but I just don't think putting anything other than air in your lungs is healthy.

Good luck to all of you who are trying to kick the habit, I know it's a hard one as I've watched several friends and family try!!
