Give me your best tip that helped you stop smoking. DAY 2 son

cold turkey

Just vape for a bit.

It gets so fucking annoying after a while that it is easy to quit.

Plus, you can step-down the nicotine content of your vape liquid.

It really does work.

Stop putting cigarettes in your mouth.

Rosanne?

the patch helped me..21mg for 2 weeks or a month
11mg for 2 weeks
7mg for 2 weeks..
done

and yeah..avoiding excessive alcohol helps

Why waste lung space on something with zero reward? Find a strain of green and go with it instead. If you're going to smoke, make it worth your whole. Lean on green.

make a bet with somebody?

They'll probably outlaw snoking too, before long.

First time I quit I started putting fudge center lollipops in my shirt pocket where I used to put my cigs. When I got the urge to smoke I would pop a lollipop instead.

It satisfied the physical component as well (opening the paper wrapping, putting in mouth, sucking on it, etc) Still had to smoke one occasionally when I really needed it.

Temporary replacement therapy. Don't deny yourself a smoke if you really need it, but the urge will go away after a while.

LJS and Chip are correct.

After 72 hours it is just a habit.

Do not interact with people during the 72 hour period it is best for everyone. <I know>
I quit for 12 years then decided to start again like a moran.

Just stop, then stop the habit.

JMHO YMMV

I love snoking and dranging. Sometimes drogs too....

Is this anything like ice fisting?

I find fear to be a great motivator.

I quit HOCKEY Cold Turkey
So I am Not the Sno King AnyMore!

I got heart palpitations was close enough to death for me.

I like to go ice fisting to get away from my wife's cocking....

Definitely vape and highly suggest getting a strong tobacco flavored juice,not the fruity flavored ones.

I don't type questions just for finger exercises.

I want answers or I want you off this planet.

I stopped snoking years ago. The last snok I had involved a garden hose, an acorn squash, and a box of Kellog's Corn Flakes - it was pretty ugly. I have yet to meet another former snoker.

Cold Turkey....3 days to get the hard physical crave out of your system......
Then you control it, it doesn’t control you. The sooner you get that done, the sooner you get your life back in control.
The mental takes about a month. Take walks in the fresh air, take a shower, cleaning your body if the crave is strong. Chew gum, suck candy,
Like lemon drops, wintergreen, spearmint, lifesavers, even ice cubes. Drink water or tea. Avoid alcohol, if it gets in the way of your decision.
Be aware your subconscious will try to sabotage you, because it wants its toys....so you might find yourself getting angry to...get a dog gone smoke.
Finally, and best of all, do something with your hands, make or create something you can look at and say to yourself I started doing this instead. So find a project that you can be proud of.
Finally, postpone letting yourself have, just one......If you give in, you start
The whole craving thing all over again. So read a book, promise yourself you will read 20 pages befor you let yourself think about it again. Realize you are an exsmoker and you can date any man or woman and not be offensive with the smell of smoke. You will have much less risk of stroke, heart attack, and......men....less chance of impotency. See smoking contributes to blood vessels getting clogged with plaque. When the small arteries that feed the brain, heart muscle and...penis get clogged......well it goes from bad to ugly real quick. Drink OJ and eat those green vegetables and fruit, until your taste buds get stronger again.
OK, and if you blow it, start again, do it till it works. Get it in your mind set that you are a winner. And getting free of this habit will make you the best you can be at the moment. (And a little more pocket change in your pocketbook.
Set your goals and achieve your desires. Hang out with non smokers and enjoy the fresh air. If you have to be around another smoker, be outside and step out and away from their exhaust.
Hope that helps OP. I quit smoking years before I quit drinking, and it really is mind over matter. I was terribly addicted to both. My best postponement was when I promised myself I could smoke in my old age....and I haven’t gotten that old yet.

Sounds like a harsh habit.

Solid advice....I'm 12yrs smoke free.....I quit cold turkey too.....that first 3 day made me feel like a junkie.....sweats, nausea, shaky, and insomnia....memories of those 3 days kept me from lighting up again....

What helped me was starting an exercise program to give me a sense of accomplishment and reinforce positive aspects of quitting......I also kept a coffee can that I put the money I would normally use for smoke.....at my first year anniversary there was over 3k in the can....went on a vacation to celebrate.....

Quit talking to women.

2g a day pot head here, sir.

Fuck, I'm crazy enough to try that

I smoked a pack a day in high school, signed up for a weight training class, running and lifting. After a couple of days, I crushed a full pack of smokes and chucked them. Not compatible at all.

This would work I guess
