Anyone got any legit tips on quitting smoking?

If you actually want to quit its easy. Do you really want to quit or do you just think you should quit

Vaping.

Cold turkey, patches, gum and all that shit only help if you're 100% committed to quitting.

Vaping gives you your nicotine fix and the physical sensations of smoking. Inhalation, Exhalation and something to occupy your hands.

Think about lung cancer

this is really the answer
you have to want to
there has to be something else thats better
could be
>exercise
>women
>life
>hobbies
>your job
>your children
anything worth more than cigs

You still want to smoke or you don't want to smoke. If you really don't want to smoke, you don't smoke. Simple as that.

Smoking pure tobacco without any additives helps to seriously shorten the physical withdrawal effects btw. Your physical withdrawal treatment will be over after a night of sleep. Just don't light another cigarette afterwards. And if you do that or if you don't: well, that only depends on if you really want it or not.

I know it will sound stupid to you, but the simplest way to stop smoking is simply not smoking.

Go slow, it's not really hard after awhile. If you smoke 10 a day try 8. You realize those other 2 don't really mean that much, when your ready 6. On and on till you realize smoking is fucking pointless and does nothing for you. One of my best friend still smokes, so if were fucked up together I'll end up bumming one but refuse to buy packs or bum in any other situation. Just a little treat every now and then.

Honestly because I think I should. I want to to some degree but right now its my only vice. Quit weed cold turkey and its made me feel good about myself just doing it because I wanted to so I might just have to bite the bullet and get the fuck over the withdrawals and just do it

Get the Easy Way to Stop Smoking book by Alan Carr.

Not a smoker myself but lots of people have quit with this book.

This is going to sound like this biggest load of faggot shit but one of the reasons I keep smoking and can kind of justify it is its an easy weight loss technique but yeah I can just replace it with other shit like lifting weights more, thats been a fun experience actually building muscle after being a pretty weak fat cunt for a good chunk of my adult life

>Not a smoker myself
Why? It's good for socializing.

Cold turkey is a way, but not the only way.

The other way is continuous struggle until you quit. Here's how it works:

You've been giving your body the fix (cigs) it asks for, in greater quantities, over a long period of time, and in exchange you obtained satisfaction.

The opposite of satisfaction is frustration. Get used to feeling frustration because curbing your body's desire results in frustration.
This user has it right. If you smoke 10 a day, go for 8 and set a realistic goal (month).

After goal is met, reduce it to 6 for another month. Goal met, reduce to 5. In another month, 4... then 3, 2, 1.

At one point you will simply start to go a couple of days without smoking. Maybe 2 or 3 before you need a cig. When that happens, have a smoke, write it down, and try to go 3-4 days without a smoke.

One day, finally, your body will get tired of the struggle and give up the dependency, and at that point, you won't need to smoke anymore.

ex-wife used the pre-quit patches for a month while reducing her daily cigarettes to only a few, then switched to lozenges. She never even finished her first thing of lozenges before she'd totally quit.

Do you hate yourself because you smoke? Do you look in the mirror and tell that guy you fucking hate him?
No?
Then you aren't going to quit.

Vape pen. Ease yourself down on the nicotine concentration; 18mg, 9, 3, 0.5, then none

I managed to quit and i was a heavy smoker, pack a day, smoke first thing in the morning kind of thing. What helped me was the lockdown. Basically being able to shut down for a week and suffer in a controlled environment, stress free, was crucial. You shut yourself in and suffer for a couple of days, watch films and binge watch shows, distract yourself with pleasurable things and slowly it gets easier. After that it's just a matter of paying attention to sudden cravings, breathing deeply, counting to ten etc. I did gain some weight but luckily i'm on the naturally slim side so i have it easier in that regard.

I used to smoke cigarettes, about a pack a day until the government fell for the mass hysteria about smoking and raised cigarette taxes to ridiculous levels making a pack of 25's cost over $30 AUD.

The government knows full well that 70% of Australians over 60 were exposed to cigarette smoking and passive smoking all through the 60's, 70's and 80's and early 90's and there is no mass deaths from cigarettes. In fact most peeps are living till there 80's despite heavy cigarette exposure.

Doctors know that smoking prevents pneumonia and humans have been breathing in burning plant material for 200,000 years. Since we don't sleep around campfires, have wood heating etc smoke exposure has been lessened causing real pneumonia deaths. The mass hysteria about smoking has cost lives.

I switched from cigarettes too pouch tobacco and became a pipe smoker, for fun I sometimes use my bong, switching from cigarettes to pouch tobacco I'm smoking far less, about the equivalent of 5 cigarettes a day and getting all the benefits of smoking, protection for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and pneumonia. I didn't get the vaccine for covid , I just remained a smoker and now smoking only costs me $40 a week.

What i want to say, i don't believe in gradual decrease or substitutes, at least i'm sure that wouldn't have worked for me. Get ready for some suffering and do it in isolation, i don't think i could have managed to do it with work stress and every day social interaction.

if cant smoke weed i will smoke cigs.

Yeah i think thats my plan starting tomorrow, got a medical exemption from work for some mental health issues so I can just disappear for a week or so. I think Im going to just do what I did with weed and count the days on a calendar right next to my bed, see the progress every day

Got any show recommendations? If it helps I like faggy shit like Community and Its Always Sunny, just finished binging Peep Show when I was trying the last time a few weeks ago

What a fucking bogan looser

Honestly, i just feel that if you can quit totally it's just a thing to do, don't really care for health benefits or anything

Thats exactly me my man, On day 18 of no weed before a relapse it was like 14, gonna start with that progress but I totally replaced weed with tobacco

Yuck you’re better off smoking weed

Yeah im on a pouch at the moment, fucking hate cigs in the bong, shits too dry

Shut up u north shore cunt

Weed was fucking me too much mentally, Doesnt help with shit just pauses it for the time being and then when I stop for a few im right back to square one dealing with shit

Sure, watch something you enjoy, even if it's a bit cringe, who cares if it works. I watched the You show. I wouldn't advise heavy art stuff, more like popcorn distraction. Good luck man, get ready to sweat and go into real withdrawal but bear in mind it does get easier, day by day. Now i'm totally not thinking about smoking at all during my day.

Tobacco is still much worse than weed. Enjoy your future COPD

Vaping, why else are the cunts trying to shut it down everywhere.
You're going to get what you can to start off with and it won't be good enough if you're a chainsmoking cunt like I was.
Learn everything you can about tanks, you'll want at least a 10ml lung hitter which you can probably only order fro china now.
First few months will be pure shit as your lungs eject all the crap built up over years and you go cold turkey from the formaldehyde and whatever. Don't give up.

Have you considered smoking a pipe? I have a collection of antique and vintage pipes, and I've been smoking them for about 30 years without getting addicted. How do I know I'm not addicted? Because in the winter, when it's less convenient to smoke, I will go months between bowls and never feel a craving, while I'll smoke two or even three bowls in a day in the summer.

When you smoke a pipe, you don't inhale; you hold the smoke in your mouth to absorb the nicotine and, if you want the full flavour of the tobacco, you blow out through your nose without inhaling, a process called "snorking." In addition, unlike cigarettes, smoking a pipe is not convenient. You can't nip out for a quick puff. A bowl will take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to smoke, and it will ring your bell hard with a sudden rush of nicotine -- and then nothing for hours or days or months until your next bowl. Unlike cigarettes, it doesn't habituate you to a constant trickle of nicotine.

yeah but not smoking at all is better for me, why bother. Get a rush from a nice juicy orange or an apple. Life is good without the nicotine high.

plus, smoking a pipe is an unbearable hipster thing to do. Get a fedora and some dapper vintage duds while your'e at it.

Im not defending tobacco my guy, I know that shit is literal rat poison

The famous meta-study on tobacco use released by the US Surgeon General, the one which proved the direct causal link between smoking and cancer, has an odd discrepancy. Moderate pipe smokers (those who don't inhale, and who smoke three or fewer bowls a day) actually have a *lower* chance (0.8) of early death than strict non-smokers. In other words, smoking a pipe in moderation is good for you.

I own two vintage fedoras, and I happen to look good in them. Not everyone on Yea Forums is a callow suburban teenybopper, youngfriend.

Weak bitch, quit cold turk, I did after years of heavy use, also other shit too, just man up & do it.

Ive got two beauty pipes my grandad left me, I think Im just gonna try toughen the fuck up and going cold turkey for a week, just hibernate in my room until the withdrawals are over then get some shit to distract me

>Anyone got any legit tips on quitting smoking?
Switch to vaping.

Then slowly taper the vape canister to lower and lower nicotine levels.

>Pic related: me.
ok, excellent, got it, enjoy your hip cancer free life. What type of cancer is the fishing vest protecting you from?

Thanks bros, Nice getting told to toughen the fuck up and get on with quitting. Tossed my pouch and gonna go to bed, start tomorrow with a "fuck it, just dont smoke" mindset and get on with it. Appreciate all the kind cunts being supportive of it. Come delete this shit now jannies

I'm a community organizer, so I not only need to carry around pipes, tobacco, czech tool, pipe cleaners, and so forth, I also have to carry around paper, pens, notepads, police complaint forms, pamphlets, business cards, etc. Rather than having to wear a backpack everywhere, I wear a surplus SWAT tactical vest and carry everything I need in the plethora of pockets.

The 1-800 quit smoking website will send you free gum. I did that then switch to always having regular gum on hand 3 years ago. The want to smoke is still there but it's become only a slight want. Not a need. Try and have someone who's opinion you value hold you accountable. It's a hard habit to kick but you got it dude.

LoL

it's a babe magnet as well. the fedora draws them in, the SWAT tactical vest distracts them while the musky pipe smell knocks them out in love. You totally figured it out.

I wear what's comfortable and convenient, and if people don't like how I smell, they're free to stand upwind. Here's a tip for you: you'll find that a lot of people, both male and female, are drawn to confident men who don't concern themselves with being trendy or inconspicuous. I've certainly never lacked for attention. Big, hairy daddies are pretty popular.

man you're too much, i give up. I tip my fedora to you, sir

Oh yes. About 3L of cranberry juice for 4 days.

I have to quit before surgery. I have a patch on,script for Chant-ix,and Nicotine Lozenges and still cant quit. Fuck my life.

Yeah, I know, newfriend, you learned everything you need to know about life in your middle school locker room. Grownups, so cringey, amirite?

why are you so confrontational, i was just teasing you a bit, jeez. You practically begged for it, posting that photo... Mellow out hairy daddy.

I dunno, wherever would I get the idea that Zoomers are judgemental, eye-rolling shitposters overly concerned with appearances and conformity. Must be the Boomer coming out in me.

The only way is cold Turkey. Extremely bad for two weeks. After a month you start going a whole day without thinking about a cigarette. I've quit two times, with a million attempts in between. You can never go back, and have just one. If you had a gun to your head and they made you watch people in front of you get their brains blown out, you wouldn't even care for a cigarette.
