My mother quit too only after she lost a lung. She died at the age of 59 from smoking related cancer.
I quit cold turkey, no crutches. Thanksgiving weekend 2011. 3 days before the birth if my first grandchild.
My doctor says, ‘If you smoke, you’ll be at the bottom of the list for health care resources.’
It’s a twofer for liberals. They get to control other people’s behavior and steal money at the same time.
I quit 40 years ago. Pack a day for 20 years. Decided my desire could not be controlled but my actions could.
When I first read, ‘I quit..’ you scared me. I thought you had gotten mad about something and was quitting FR!
You’re one of our best.
I would expect that by using ‘vaping’ to quit is a bit difficult as one retains the ‘get an urge, feed the urge’ cycle whereas something like the ‘patch’ delivers a constant stream of nicotine.
Look I have been rolling my tobacco cigarettes for over 10 years....one pound of tobacco (not treated in any way just good ol’ tobacco) costs 12.99 plus a 5.5% sales tax...it lasts 3 months or more......I purchased a gross of papers online a year ago....The tobacco I buy is tax class K which is deemed pipe tobacco so the fed and state can’t tax it like the chemically treated garbage in every prepackaged multi carcinogen laced death stick’s your government forces manufacturers to create (for your own good) Idiots wake up and do what you want....these same swinging dicks and arrogant broads will scream to high heaven when cash stops flowing into their pathetic agencies because they piss and moan about tobacco. Our country was funded by this plant to supply the world...how stupid are you ...... everyone dies and boo hoo...who would want to live forever with crying little faggots constantly whining about what offends them? Grow a pair and and act like you are actually FREE ...screw the fed/state and anyone else who gets in your way pursuit of liberty and happiness. No one likes a quitter.
My 20 yr old daughter recently quit cigarettes. She used a vap for a month and then quit that too. Jesus took away all cravings, one day she woke up and had no cravings anymore.
You make the decision, that's it.
It helps to keep away from smokers for about two weeks, though.
Then you're in the clear. "Not to decide, is to decide." Shakespeare
My vaporizer changed my life as well as my finances. I’m so much healthier and look and feel great. It’s motivated me to correct my diet and get back in the gym 3 times a week. My depression also went away. Certainly, it must be banned.
So did I. Jan. 24th 1975.
Quitting smoking is like planting a tree: the best time to do it was 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now.
I quit about 6 years ago using laser therapy.
I tried so many other things. It sounded crazy enough that it might work. I never craved a cigarette again. The week after my 20 or so minutes of non-invasive laser therapy, I could set in a room full of smokers and not want one. It may be the best $200 I ever spent.
Post of the day!
I miss dip more than smokes.
For me it was just time to stop.
Plenty of other vices...
My BIL now mixes his own flavors in bulk to save $$$.
He uses vanilla as a base I think, but the end resulting flavor is “Cinnamon Toast Crunch”.
AND IT’S AWESOME.
I don’t really use nicotine, but vaping helped me to stop smoking pot. I feel a lot healthier.
Liquor has caused more death and destruction than tobacco ever has or ever will.
