Question

Leonharted · Accepted Answer

By stopping. Sounds easy, but it isn't. I was in the same position as you. Got to the point to where I couldn't fall asleep without one. Then that wasn't working either.

So you know what I did? I just stopped. No matter what happened, I was going to work in the morning, and not smoking. I didn't sleep for 4 days.

I picked up Stephen King's novel "IT," and went out into the living room when I couldn't fall asleep, so as to not disturb the wife, and read every single page before my body broke and I fell asleep. After that, everything else was easy.

you will never quit smoking unless you see the benefits of the non smoking outcome.

if you don't have the reason why you should quit other than I really want to you don't truly have a reason.

you need to hate smoking enough to go through with it.

good luck

I smoked two months as I was abroad and my hotel room mate smoked like crazy. I stopped without much problems, it was just one week I felt a desire for cigarettes. Compared with the greed you get after few lines coke it's practically nothing.

Don't transition to vaping. It's still unknown what the longterm effects will be on the body/lungs, and it's highly addictive. Even more so because it's so easy to do indoors and surreptitiously.

Yuck, just think about how uncool everyone thinks it is. No guy will touch you with a ten foot pole. Get into an exercise routine and drink lots of water.

Honestly, I just think of the horrific way my grandmother, papa, and uncle all slowly and painfully suffocated to death from a lifetime of smoking cigarettes. You have to learn to hate cigarettes.

I replaced all my nicotine products with cbd, I just vape cbd now and I'm going to eventually quit this too

najekim · Answer

One of the best ways to quit is to wait later and later to have your first one of the day after a night's sleep. It's that first one that starts the ball rolling for the rest of the day.
