How to Quit Smoking.

Great guide, talks about the mentality of quitting cigs, keep pushing past your breaking point until you find that you don't need them anymore...

This can be as simple as organizing your smoking, saying 'i'll have one less today,' then 'I'll have one less next week.'

Stand up to yourself.

 

THX! i will share this topic to many smokers I know

 

damn, this really gives me the motivation to quit smoking....





just let me go out for a quick smoke before I finish reading

 

I've reduced the number of daily packs but I cannot stop completely.

 

Try Vaping. Atleast it's healthier.

 

How about getting a Vape. Then tapering down the nicotine until there’s none in the juice. Then see if you still crave it as much.

 

Pavlov yourself.

 

2 options:

1. Full-on quit in one go. Say enough is enough and don't smoke another cigarette. This will be tough but will get exponentially easier as time goes on, it won't be instant and will take alot of effort.

You can even put aside money you are saving in a separate bank account, for some additional motivation!

2. Incremental decrease, say you smoke 10 a day, each week or month smoke one less a day.

 

The only way to quit is if you "want" to quit.

 

I'm embarrassed to say, but I've actually relapsed and have tried quitting with a vape.
But vaping for me actually increased my nicotine tolerance and once I ran out of juice (they are outrageously overpriced in my country) I started chain smoking again..
Thankfully however, I'm back on track thanks to this guide I wrote 6 years ago;
time to quit the stinkies

 

You won't quit until you want to.
Drinking water will help, but we should be doing this anyways, all of the time.
Sleeping helps, you can't smoke when you're asleep.
Occupying yourself with other things helps.
Hang around with non-smokers.
Don't drink alcohol while trying to quit smoking.
Don't do anything that stresses you out.
If you don't have cigarettes and crave them, stay home.

More tips to add, nice thread.
