Quitting smoking | Forum

Unless you're a masochist I think most people would find it easy to quit this way.

My best advice make your self hate them. Come to the realization that cigarettes are disgusting because they are. Then stop thinking about them and live life! 

I know I know easier said then done! Good luck!

I also quit 3 weeks ago, just like that, no helps, when I feel like having a cigarrete I just put a jawbreaker or a gum in my mouth, it was easy for my, I also quit smoking hash and weed, it feels good to be rid of all of that, I feel way better now.

I'm definitely no good at giving advice since I smoke too.

All I can say (from my part), I still smoke because I just like doing it, it's simply a habit.

If you really want to quit, just bloody do it and don't bother asking for "help". Pick your balls up, bite the bullet and just stop.

If you're doing it because you got influenced by someone or something, you're in for a long road. If you're doing it because it's something really important to you, then just do it, no need for "support" or "advice".

Look at it this way, if someone told you they will chop your leg off if you continue smoking, what would you do?

I can tell you from a fact that my father who has been smoking for +20 years stopped straight away when the doctor told him his leg might come off. He didn't need any support or patches or jawbreakers.

I kind of agree with some of Rex's point above,,, make a choice and just do it.

I stopped smoking in the last year mainly because I didn't want to pay what had become a huge amount for this habit. After doing some fact based research I got into vaping. Once I got my choice of vape gear my weekly habit bill went from $200+ to around $15 for juice and replacement coils.

Remember that it takes 21 days to form a habit. You're already at 18. See if you can make it to 0 without having a cigarette. At that point it's all maintenance. And if you do have one, don't beat yourself up. You're gonna relapse, it's gonna happen, man. Just don't make a habit of it. Just keep a short list of the reasons you want to quit in your head and refer to it anytime you need to. 

At the end of the day, you're gonna end up doing what you truly want inside, right? It's just a matter of what you decide you want more. Either way, just own your choice. Good luck in your endeavors.
