i hear ya! i know its cliche, but try and replace it with a healthy addiction. yoga, exercise, reading etc

 

2645 days without a cigarette for me.

 

I used to, but its hard to stop permanently. But I did eventually quit, after many years of smoking. I'm stopped about 20 years now.
My missus need's to stop, as she's got bladder cancer the past 2 years. She's had a few operations to remove the cancer. Unfortunately polyps keep growing back within 3 months of the surgery. The doctors reckon, she'll keep seeing her as long as she's smoking. I hate admitting this, but so far, the docs been right.
My missus has tried and tried again, but so far still hasn't managed to stop completely even though she's been told by the doctors once she's smoking the cancer will grow back. Its so hard to stop even with that outcome hanging over you. I wish it was easy, but its not, she's smoking since she was about 16 years old, she's 48 now. She's starting the quit support program again next week, I'm really praying/hoping with all I got, she gets it this time. Please god she does stop altogether.

Peace!

 

to all those who quit smoking: stop making us smokers feel bad! you guys are the ones that gave up. giving up is for quitters!!

 

Well done, wonderful achievement.

 

There were many moments in my life when I could have become a heavy smoker. Thanks to heroin for saving me!

 

Its really good advice, if only it was that easy. But you are right, replace the addiction with a healthy alternative.

 

i'm not religious whatsoever but i'd pray for you guys if it would help her

 

I gave up smoking when I was 7 years old.

 

My first cig was in utero!

This video helped me a lot:

 

Vaping is actually much more healthier than tobacco but it has the disadvantage of making you vape nonstop as previously mentioned

 

I quit with -Cytisine-, that was like an R2R medicine.
And you @Margaret?

 

Regular cigarettes give you horrible lung cancer
Vaping, on the other hand, gives you a much more glamorous, cute little strawberry-scented cancer

 

I just quit from day to day.
In the night I was smoking and I told to myself I wake up in the morning I smoke the last one and I quit.
Similar was with meat and vegetarian diet.
In the sunday I was eating de volaille with cheese for dinner. And in the monday raw strawberries and tomatos because I didn't even know what to eat lol. Next day I eated slices of cheese and almonds. Later I bought protein bars and my diet was similar for the next few weeks until I found out vegetarian food in shop LOL

 

No, no, no. That's only valid as a joke!
You're a daily smoker or not.
You talk about meat? Remember how it ends the milk thread?

Lately in X, you can find diverse passing theories, like smoking is good for health. Or eating cow everyday. Who knows!
Wellcome to the missinformation era!

 

Don't smoke, don't drink.

 

in some traditional south american shamanic cultures, tobacco is indeed used as a tool for health in some cases. its a master healer plant, used in cermony in many ways. In moderation its actually supposed to be good for your lungs and heart.
