>not smoking cigarettes

Were you bullied in school, mentally retarded or both?

>b-but it will kill you

So? Is life a competition of who lives the longest?

>you get addicted!!!

No you won't if you are not an underage b& and smoke in moderation.

>IT COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY!!!

Who's telling you should smoke a pack a day you fucking moron?

>>26154895
Read east way to quit. It helps frame how you think about smoking that will help you quit and realize you’re not giving anything up.

I’ve relapsed a few times because I’m a drunk, but overall by view on cigarettes changed enormously after reading that book

>>26154895
yes vaping, get one of those huge cloud ones, that way you get a huge Nic hit then gradually reduce the Nic levels

>>26154895
Tried two times but failed miserably, smoking almost two packs a day. Any tips on quitting would be great.

I literally can't get addicted to nicotine. I've tried in every form available.

Used to chain smoke cigs at the bar in college, quit cold turkey with no effects. An old roommate let me chain vape his vapebox for 6 months straight, no issue quitting when I moved out. I worked in a factory one summer and one of my coworkers had me doing snuff. Very gross but once again, no issue. I'm the same with alcohol.

Now weed, different story.

>>26154895
In the middle of quitting myself. First you must break the oral fixation. You’re afflicted to nicotine but you’re also addicted to the ritual. Get Nicorette lozenges they are great. Breaking the ritual first will make it far easier. Psychologically you need to figure out why you like to smoke so often and this I can’t help you with. But just set goals get down to 1 pack a day, then half a pack, and etc

based you need to up it to atleast 50

>>26154948
Easy way to quit *

>>26154895
I say this without a shred of irony you have to just quit today and not smoke. If you can’t just fucking stop on a whim you’re literally a cuck and big tobacco is your time. Harness the power of your fucking mind brother god damn nobody is gonna do that shit for you. People like you make me sick.

>>26154895
I quit for like a year then started vaping
Now i'm going to quit that and it's a pain in the ass all over again

>>26154945
>Smelling like a poorly preserved smoldering corpse all the time

Yeah, no thanks

>>26154975
This is the most rerarded method of trying to quit. You don’t quit a substance by substituting the method of intake.

Just cold turkey. Any kind of weaning off will just create the impression in your head that cigarettes are some type of reward that you’re giving up.

Cold turkey is the only way

Yeah, take some LSD, ponder in the dark about your addictions, and then listen to this album at the peak:

You'll be cured of your addiction, depression, and anxieties. Trust me.

>>26154895
when you can't use your pee pee anymore to fuck, then you will probably quit

>>26154945
>smoke in moderation
LMAO

>>26154895
I hear a strong mushroom trip clears it right up for most people.

>>26154895
>>26154975
toothpicks are good too, check out tea tree or peppermint oil infused toothpicks they're even better
I've chewed plenty to splinters during the initial few weeks of a quit
I'm back on again after 8months quit tho . . .

I quit smoking by vaping instead. Saves so much money and do genuinely feel healthier.

>>26154895
You can quit very easily by killing yourself. For example, shoot yourself in the face with a gun, jump in front of a fast moving train, jump from a very tall building, stab yourself to death, or go out into a forest near a lake and put several durable plastic bags around your face and tape them tight with tape around your neck, many layers of tape, then throw the tape into the lake, then run around panicking idiotically trying to get air and failing miserably to tear the plastic bags apart until you suffocate.

>>26155073
just like, don't smoke all the time LMAO NIGGA ITS THAT EASY

>>26154895
My father died of lung cancer, it is a horrible way to go, he had massive pain on his lungs and could bearly talk he also he knew he was dying the whole way.

Take into account the miserable way you will go out if you continue smoking that much.

this worked for me unironically. been happy with how it worked out.

>>26154895
15 years i smoked. Been smoke free 1 year. I can breathe through my nose at night finally

>>26155136
Lmao easy is a subjective term.
For you maybe but more than billion people are addicted on cigs.

>>26154967
yeah here is one: grow some balls. quitting is only hard for 1-2 weeks, after that you still miss it from time to time but only very rarely after a while.

Thanks anon

>Business & Finance
>forgot to add "how much money will I save by quitting smoking?"
anon...

Former pack of more a day for ten years here. 6 years without a relapse after the first month. You have to actually want to quit, not just be claiming you want to quit. Health scare is what did it for me. Got drunk first month at a wedding and bummed a smoke, I was wasted out of my mind and one drag made me start throwing up... ever since my mind has associated smoking with sickness and I haven't relapsed.

Zyn pouches fren. I’m down to 3 cigarettes a day with zyn pouches in between

I'm up to 3 packs a day man

God I hope $CLF turns around

>>26154895
As degenerate as vaping looks and feels, it works
Don't go for the faggy big vapes that's for teenagers and fuckbois who never smoked cigarettes anyway and want to 'MAKE DEM CLOUDS SENPAI'
Get something small like an AEGIS and smoke salt nic, after a while even if you try to smoke socially because you're drinking or something you'll notice the added chemicals in cigarettes give you an immediate headache and make you want to vomit
Sometimes you'll lose your vape and at first you'll panic til you find it, but after a while you'll notice how much easier it is to go for long bouts of time without it as opposed to losing your pack of cigarettes and immediately just deciding to go buy another pack
Helped me and I've tried everything including rolling my own, replacing tobacco use with weed, cold turkey (which sadly I pulled off for 6 months straight when I was younger and picked it up because I was wagecucking at a place that didn't give anyone breaks besides smokers and snapped on a shift the day a close friend died and started chainsmoking again), and nicotine patches
Vaping helps and is more cost effective
You'll smell better, breathe better, and your teeth will get whiter
Long term effects are of concern, but you should go into it with the mindset of weening yourself off nicotine to get healthier and know you're going to be better off, retards who didn't have a nicotine habit to begin with are why it's seen as a douchey trendy thing to do
Do it for yourself

>>26155218
This.
You have to feel disgusted about cigs to quit.

>>26155244
Oh and buy xrp

>>26154895
What’s the point of even trying to make it. You are just going to die of lung cancer anyways

>>26154960
Tried this and ended up upping my nic intake, was getting through 2-4ml of 20mg nic salt a day

>>26154895
Yes I quit 9 months ago and here is my advice.

1) Don't tell yourself you're going to quit in the future. You'll only stop smoking if you realise you have already smoked your last cigarette. It doesn't work if you are going to have 'one last cigarette' or starting tomorrow. Your last cigarette is in the past and should be fairly uneventful.

2) never touch another cigarette, even 'socially'.

3) Have an epiphany as to why you have quit. You must undergo a metamorphosis to change your behavior. You'll have to internalise that reason and that reason will have to be extremely logical to withstand the temptation. For me it was that I was short of breath and my fitness was noticably weak and I didn't want to feel like that at 29. The only way was downhill if I kept smoking. Also I hated smelling of cigarettes all the time and could tell the smell was unattractive.

4) I couldn't have quit without a vape. I think they're faggy but they contain nicotine and it was simple to use the vape every time I wanted a cigarette and it satisfied the craving. always go outside to vape so it mimics a cigarette behaviourally. have 'smoke breaks'.

5) ween yourself off the nicotine sooner rather than later. In a week you'll feel proud, in a month you'll feel healthier and at around the 2 month mark you can start cutting down the nicotine.

Good luck anon. I have typed all this out for you because I hope it will help - I remember being in your shoes and worrying I'd be addicted for life but that was just a bad attitude. Time to grow up. Anyone HODLing innately understands how prioritising their future, so apply the same mentality to your health.

You still need to try chewing tobacco, that stuff is incredible

>>26155311
Or mouth cancer. Or throat cancer. Or a stroke.

My mother has smoked since a teen and has been through cancer and a stroke so far. I figure she has a few years, at most, before the next thing takes her out. The stroke left her even more mentally fucked than she was before.

Smoking reminds me of her bros. I literally associate smoking with the only woman I've ever loved.

Posting old /fit/ pasta to bring out the newfriends. I see you OP.

>>26155418
I hate women so much it's unreal

>>26155418
Same for me bro, stay strong it's not easy

>>26155376
snuff is a colloquial term for chew. Shit was potent as fuck

>>26155418
>her
You were captured by a succubus, bud. It's not your fault, just keep that in the forefront of your mind

used to smoke like 10 a day average
then i stopped for quite a long while
then i was like "fuck it its enjoyable sometimes"
now its like 1 or 2 at most per day and on special occasions like 5-6

Cigarettes were so easy for me to quit. I used to smoke 2 packs a day and quit cold turkey.
Drinking however is impossible for me. I’m pretty sure my liver is fucked
>tfw read online drinking is almost as difficult as heroin to kick
Help me bros

>>26155456
This is incredibly based. But god fuck one got her hooks in me and now my world is destroyed

My path to quitting from smoking a pack a day was

1) try nicotine gum, patches -> Fail
2) Start vaping on stronger nicotine than I was smoking. I made it as painless for myself as possible whilst switch. Even though you are getting more nicotine vaping there are still some withdrawals. Vaping is way better than smoking in every way (its almost free after paying for the vape, liquid works out to be about 1$ per day).
3) After 2 years of vaping I started reducing my nicotine levels. Took about 1yr to go from 20mg to nothing.

>>26155578
me too fren, me too

>>26154895
I quit a little over two years ago on new years.
Id say the biggest thing that helped me quit... try somehow to organize a full week off work. You need those no stress no responsibility days to get thru the initial cravings. If you have access, a sauna will help the withdrawals and help you sweat out toxins. Wet your finger, dip it in table salt, and suck on it. The salt helps kill cravings. I used a stop smoking app to great success. It tracks money saved, cigs not smoked, health improvements etc. I did and still do smoke weed. Idk if that would help or hurt you or anyone else, but just having SOMETHING to inhale helped me. Dont do any vaping, nicotine therapy, or cutting back horseshit. Doesnt fucking work. And once you DO quit. Mentally prepare yourself to never smoke again, because ONE puff is all it takes. You may think you can handle it but you cant. One puff. And then before you know it you bummed a whole cig. Then you have a pack for emergencies. Then you are a full blown smoker again. You cant go back. I relapsed so many times, including another 2 year long quit i had. Oh thats another thing, you will only quit if you really want to quit. I really wanted to quit. Its hard af. But now, two years in, i barely think about it. I dont get triggered seeing it, i think it stinks really badly. Its like, wow, i used to smell like that 24/7? Try reading the stop smoking book. I cant remember the name but its highly recommended for people trying to quit and its available for free online.
Good luck OP

>>26155601
I should add that drinking alcohol makes quitting smoking 100x harder as you have to manage the cravings whilst hammered - ie not doable.

>>26155456
kek I got the Gay id, fitting

>>26155567
Never had an alcohol problem, but certainly had a cannabis problem.

The thing that got me off weed was finding a girl way out of my league in looks and career/status who sends me daily "Good Morning Anon :) What can you tell me about X and how it relates to Y?" every morning and being terrified of losing her for being a worthless degenerate.

Gotta keep your eye on the ball, but you need a ball first.

Why do you fucking overcomplicate, quit cold turkey.
DONT SMOKE. ok? I was smoking regularly, just stopped it for once and didnt light 2 years, maybe it even made me more productive.

>>26155189
this album is amazing

>>26155715
I’m married and have a kid anon but I can’t stop.

>>26154895
yes with electronic cigarettes, I used to smell of tar now I smell of apple pie

used to be pack a day was able to drop um with help of vape. 2 winters ago i spent alotta time at budies no smoking apt. i was sick a goin out in the cold so i asked if i buy a vape can i use it inside, said yes. rest was history. theyre gross felt a difference in my lungs in no time.

>>26155797
So you've surrounded yourself with people who tolerate your degeneracy. Definitely going to be harder than quitting heroin.

You should pray your wife tries to leave you and take everything, because that's the only thing that might scare you enough into quitting.

disgusting

Never smoked a cigarette but I started using Generals Snus in 2020. Don’t think I’m addicted but who knows. Am I gmi

I quit. Used Chantix, worked great just power through it and mean to quit. It's an active choice 24/7 for the first few months.

>>26154895
You pussy I go through two lighters a day

>>26155797
you gotta ask yourself
how negatively does weed affect you?
i mean obviously shits fucked if youre smoking it 24/7 but if its something like an evening/night activity how much does it affect you?
idk

>>26155879

>>26155194
Very based. I used nicorette to quit. Got addicted to the gum but eventually quit that too.

>>26154945
just vape retard
nicotine is good for u but cigs are outdates, more expensive, and young thots will think youre stinky if they see you smoking cigs since they got so much (((drug education))) in school (but vaping is like, super cool)

used to smoke a pack a day and managed to quit without any help, you just need to stop buying them

quitting smoking is the easiest shit you get a million tools that help you
if you can't at least transition to vaping you have 0 willpower
reroll

>>26154895
I got too busy to smoke and stopped. Smoked maybe 10 a day. Tried one again last week and it was revolting.

>>26154895
Yes ive quit smoking 2 packs a day. Now its only 2 and 1/2 packs a day

>>26154895
Not yet, I did reduce my smoking from nearly a pack a day to generally 5 or less cigarettes a day. An important thing is to eliminate smoking rituals such as having one while taking a shit, having on in the car, having one during your work break - ect. Eliminating habitual smoking behaviors will cause you to smoke less - which means you're in better control which will make it easier to quit later. I also like to go to bars, which is another environment I need to avoid as drinking tends causes me to chain smoke.

>>26154895
Bunch of faggots here in this thread trying to advice the 'soft' way of stopping. Stop cold turkey and man up, hit the gym and achieve your financial goals. It's like this DYEL that never lifted in his life before posting threads about ''should I add neck exercises to maximize my gains?''.

You're literally burning your money and destroying your health.
I was smoking7-8 cigarettes a day then I quit 15 years ago.
I used to vape (nicotine free) few years ago, mostly because I missed the gestures of smoking cigarettes, then I quit that shit too.

>>26154895
>smoke
What are you? Chinese?

Quit cold turkey ~6 years ago, haven't touched one since. You really have to want to not smoke. Just refuse to allow yourself to buy and smoke any more.

>>26155789
Glad you like it, Anon. It's my go-to for when I need to poke around my own head. Big range of emotions listening from start to end. It's inspired by this psychedelic children's picture book, worth a look through the images while you listen to the songs created for each page.

Hi ranjesh

>>26154895
I quit a while back by smoking weed every time I wanted a cigarette. I wouldn't even inhale, I would just blow the smoke through my nose until I felt a slight buzz. Was never a fan of getting insanely stoned.

>>26154895
stop eating for a week to get rid of your sugar addiction.
the withdrawal from sugar will be worse so you dont even notice your not smoking.

>>26154895
no but switched to a juul wasn’t hard. i can breathe a lot better with it

I used General Swedish Snus to quit smoking. No, it is not anything like American chewing tobacco.

The reason you haven't quit is because you want to keep smoking more than you want to stop. Subconsciously obviously.

Find out why you like smoking so much or better yet, find the right motivation to quit.

It's all about motivation. Funny how those 50 year olds who were "never able to quit" who almost die due to smoking but get a second chance who now suddenly find the ability to quit cold turkey and never go back. Funny that.

>>26154895
just vape for gods sake. takes less than a day to realise how shit disgusting you smell from smoking

>>26155376

>>26154895
I vape nicotine now. Much easier on the lungs. Can do it without stinking up the place. Way cheaper too. Like 10x cheaper at least. Good luck.

>>26154895
Pretty much, although it's really hard. I basically just chew nicorette gum now and I'll have a cigar that I take a few puffs on throughout the day and put out. There better fucking be smoking in the afterlife... I keep holding out for some way to still smoke a lot and not kill myself with it eventually, but obviously this is a pipe dream

Just use snus nukka

>>26154895
I can't imagine how retarded someone has to be to still smoke in 2021. I mean, if you like life, why do you short it so much with cigarettes? I understand if you're suicidal or apathetic about dying, but smoking for hedonistic reasons? There's better ways to enjoy life.

>>26157712
I quit smoking all togheter, grill turned me in a dynavap chad, we unironically just do it inside. Doesn't really smell and I now have loads of ABV weed. Got some tincture, caps and just raw ABV for edibles

>>26154967
Run until you can't breathe or stand up, it will help with insomnia withdrawal, and also it will make your lungs sore so smoking will hurt, and will make your body not like smoking because running will be very difficult if you do. Run everyday at least 1 hour, make it a good run, and you won't smoke anymore.

all you smokefags should try wellbutrin, helps a bit when laying off the cancersticks

>>26154895
why do you want to quut smoking? without a reason it'll be hard but possible.

>>26157976
I never smoked cigs nor weed before I met her but she convinced me to do it together with her. I will never touch cigarettes though.

Wrong. Cold turkey is the most retarded as people get harsh physical withdrawal

>>26154895
6 months now after 18 years of chainsmoking. Get 2 vapes, get 6% juice so you can hit them all day long like chainsmoking and always have 1 charged and ready while you're using the other. I've found 0.2 ohm to be a good spot to get clouds about the size of a cig exhale. You can do it fren.

i get nauseated after 3 cigs, you guys go too hard

>>26155268

FUCK

I smoked half a pack a day for ten years and quit cold turkey. Willpower is real.

>>26158039
Literally subjective. Wellbutrin just gives me the energy and anxiety to smoke more

>>26154967
Nicotine gum is fantastic. 2 years smoke free except for when i'm on holiday, and then it's no problem to go straight back to gum.

>>26158162
But its how I've quit everytime.

>>26154945
so much bait, good job anon

>>26154895
I gradually came down from pack a day to 5 a day and then one day just quit it. A year and a half ago. Never smoked another cig. Dreamed about it, but didnt smoke even when drunk.
Probably helped that my gf and i quit together

Triumph des willens indeed

>>26159003
Oh i forgot to add, i actually taste food again. Used to pour salt over everything, now don't need to.

>>26154895
Yes i quit. Weed helped.

>>26158156
by not being a little girl.

I smoke 40 a day. mainly due to quitting weed. used to smoke about 6 spliffs per day. replaced the dopamine hit with cigarettes. need to do it or i will be dopamine deficient. can easily smoke 2 entire packs within 3 hours if im at a bar.

>>26159474
LOL I bet you STINK

quit vaping like a week ago
feel like shit honestly, hopefully the symptoms get better, but I'm getting fucked out by insomnia and snacking

For me it is unironically quite easy to quit, ive done it several times for long periods of time like 3,6 months or even for a full year, but I love smoking and eventually I get started again on a night out drunk and then I buy, then I smoke 5 a day and eventually a month later im doing a full package

ive quit to start the year and ive been 18 days free only cheated once, but I know its a matter of time

>>26157976
dynavap is the shit
super efficient

>>26154967
Just try snus.

>>26154895
I started smoking heavy about 2 years ago when I was 26. It began casually with my girlfriend, but soon turned into a habit where I would smoke a pack a day, consistently for months.

I tried to quit a few times and would go a few months without it. I am now on my second month no cigs.

Let me tell you this anons. The desire to want a cig never goes away. But if you can rationalize and give yourself a real reason not to smoke, you can probably quit, so long as you NEVER even have one puff of a stinky cig.

My reasoning is I want to get back into bodybuilding and have a good build like I did in my early 20s. I know cigs won't help, and also, it's pretty bad ass of me to tell people I was addicted to cigs for 2 years then quit cold turkey and never looked back. Gives you a sense of power to know you're in control and not some bitch to big tobacco

>>26155074
I've heard this too, but I can also say that cigarettes feel really nice when you're tripping on acid (and I think shrooms too since they're similar. I've taken shrooms just can't remember if I was smoking cigs during)

Yes. Anyone who "can't" quit is mentally weak. Its literally not doing something. Not saying its easy but you're making the decision.

>>26154945

It is literally the most disgusting thing you can do. Even eating shit would get you more respect from people than smoking the tobacco jew. You are worse than a cockroach.

>>26155051
fuck you, i promised myself to not listen to it again

>>26155508
not true

snuff = dry powdered tobacco you snort up your nose

chewing tobacco = wet lumps of tobacco you put in your mouth

>>26154895
Yeah I quit years ago, but now I’m hooked on my vape. Salt nic juice is all I can vape though, that other shit doesn’t do it for me.

>>26154895
I love nicotine. I took up vaping instead of cigarettes and fucking love it. Clear lungs. I can smell more stuff now. Its everything good about smoking with none of the negatives. Give it a chance OP.

>>26154895
If you quit right now I’ll sell 4 billion and give you half

>>26161296
hey it’s me the smoker

>>26161296
gibe me btc

I quit about 6 months ago. havent touched one since and dont have any desire to.

weened myself off nicotine. Started vaping and slowly reducing the nicotine content by diluting with nicotine free vape until i was only smoking 0 nicotine vape. Did that for a couple weeks as a lot of the habit is the physical habit of wanting to smoke. did that to get over the nicotine addiction then switched to chewing regular gum whenever i wanted a ciggy. Occasionally get cravings still but i just have a chewing gum instead and im fine.

I feel amazing and so much healthier best decision of my life.

good luck

>>26154895
I quit after smoking from the age of 12 to 30. use the nicotine patch (follow the directions dosage wise for the correct patch) it was so easy. tried million other ways too

>>26154895
On day 2 of my quit right now. This is the hardest day.

Been a smoker for nearly 25 years, with a few years of switching to vape in between. And tried quitting with every method.

Cold Turkey is the only way to go. It's 72 hours of physical withdrawal and after that it's all mental. I managed to quit for almost 2 months this time last year. Was the longest I'd gone without nicotine since I was 14 years old. The boredom of the lockdowns caused me to break.

>>26161575
Keep going anon. Make sure you got no acces to nicotine

I live near a beach

Once a week I head to the beach, put on some music, and light up a Turkish Royal. Very nice

I used to smoke 3 packs of cigs a day. Now I just vape 5 juul pods a day.

>>26159824
I have more sex than you though.

>>26160230
>so long as you NEVER even have one puff of a stinky cig.
This is it. If you're addicted and have struggled with quits before this is the key thing to remember. One slip means starting over again from day 1

>>26154895
I quit 15 years ago. AMA

>>26161575
cold turkey is retarded. you need months of breaking the physical habit of smoking. use the patch faggot

>>26154895
Get a vape with the most fruity flavour and puff the shit out of it for a few days. After a while you get sick of the taste and just stop using it

>>26161893
actually not a bad strat lol

>>26161683
Thanks fren. It's motivating to know that every month I don't smoke I'm saving enough to buy 15 linkies at current prices

>>26154895
I stopped smoking after 20yrs last September.
Cold Turkey, just used nicotine tablets for a few weeks. It was harder for me to quit smoking joints rather than ciggis, now I just vape bio weed.
I couldn't be happier bro, just go for it!

I've never smoked but I've vaped the last year and a half. This thread convinced me to throw it away and not do it again. The meager amount of money I spent on it ($20 a month maybe) I'll put towards link or something I suppose. I wouldn't really say I'm addicted to it per se, I just get bored and hit it. Will do something else instead I suppose. Throw it all out and don't think about it again, we're all gonna make it.

Physical habit was never my issue. It's the chemical physical addiction. That's roughly 72 hours of suck. Doesn't mean you don't want a cigarette at times after that, you do. But at that point it's mental and easier to control than actual physical withdrawal

>>26154895
im vaping right now and don't miss cigarettes at all.
also make sure you get nic salt e-juice, its way better.

>>26154895
I quit, but now I'm addicted to nicotine lozenges. it's healthier than smoking but you basically transfer your addiction from one place to another.

>>26155073
I have been smoking 2-5 cigs(self rolled, so 1 is like half or pre rolled cig) everyday for like 10 years, yeah there were days i smoked more and had a headache but if not for cigs i would have not met my friends circle lol we have been hanging out at smoko since middle school

>>26155418
Me too, same for weed,

>>26154974
Did you find the vape fucked with your gums? Smoked one a lot for like 4 months and my gums have receded a fuckload, to the point where I have these gaps between the tops of my teeth

>>26154895
fuck off leaf

Switching to a vape after 10+ years of smoking was surprisingly easy for me. Haven't touched a cig for almost 3 years now as they are disgusting to me now. Still vaping occasionally with low nic liquid but can easily go without for weeks, vaping mostly for boredom and when drunk.
Dynavaping my homegrown however hooks me pretty much. Forcing myself to only do it on weekends but lockdowns made me break that twice. Want to get rid of that habit as well, as it's making me stay up late and stealing my sleep. I just love getting high and listening to music for hours.

>>26154948
this helped me quit. I smoked loads before.

and the biggest redpill was the realisation that the only thing a cigarette did for me, was make me want the next one in a few hours. that's it.

need to try chew

>>26160024
This, snus masterrace.

>>26161230
Unironically this. My inner schizo strongly suspects the anti-vape meme is astroturfing by tobacco lobbies.

My favorite thing about smoking is you can instantly tell whoever smokes was at least at one point a vain npc loser who thought lung cancer is cool and rebellious

>>26161230
>none of the negatives
lol if you don’t think inhaling super hot oil directly into your lungs is bad for you you are extremely low IQ. nicotine itself causes heart issues and blood vessel issues.

>>26163727
If you weren't a vain NPC at some point in your life, you're lying.

I've been quitting on and off for years now, but this time i'm sure i'm done for good. I'm still vaping though cause I like the health benefits of nicotine. Vaping is just so much better I actually prefer it for many reasons it's a win-win

>>26161230
definitely this

>>26163811
>micro metals scarring your lungs
nothing personnel kiddo

>>26163811
>health benefits of nicotine

>>26154895
I smoke a tabacco pipe about twice a day.

>>26163786
it's a sliding scale

in order to start smoking you have to be crazy retarded because A) it's bad as fuck for you B) getting started is a massive hurdle; nobody sane looks at the physical action of smoking and thinks "wow, gotta try that" - meaning only absolutely npc sheeple ever get started

>>26163972
Faggot I have IBD and nicotine is an anti inflammatory

Smoke weed instead of cigs.
Weed is more healthier and makes you feel better than nicotine.

>>26158162
>Pussy can't handle a few headaches
If you're terrified of withdrawals then you'll never quit.

>>26164264
>Weed is more healthier
Looks like its doing you some real wonders champ

>>26154945
>Were you bullied in school, mentally retarded or both?
But that's the reason I smoke cigarettes...

>>26154967
try microdosing shrooms or lsd 3 times a week. works surprisingly well for reducing smoking because tou don't get psychological cravinga (coffee time, let's smoke etc) BUT... you still need the nicotine and will feel like shit if you go from 3 cigs a day to none. worked my way from a packet to a few per day, then didn't bother shrooming again and went back to a pack a day.

i guess the trick is to set up a quit week, shroom up and then go from reduced to none, if you can find the balls to do it

>>26154895
i smoked a pack a day for 10 years then one evening i smoked like 5 packs, had 5 liters of beer and 2 g of coke, i woke up the next day and for the first time i felt how this wasnt good for my health, havent smoked since then

>>26155711
gay and checked haha fag

>>26164453
There is a medical marijuana but there is no medical nicotine. Dumb fuck.

it's only a meme
I smoked in the amry but only when we were in the woods training
or in afganiland
it had no desire to buy a pack when I return to civilization

>>26154895
yeah, just stop buying them

>>26154945
only people I know that smoke are homosexuals

>>26164264
They’re not similar goods.

Weed stimulates serotonergic response. Ciggies are dopamine. If your dopamine is fucked up, you’re fucked up.

>>26155418
>>26155456
The duality of man.

I went from never smoking to a pack a day in 2 days after i started. I smoked only 3 cigs today, its not hard to quit, money is more addictive

This. It's the same with all addictions

>>26154967
>>26154895
LSD or any sort of psychedelics, do a lot of it.

>>26154895
Quit since new years. Cant sleep. Can't shit. Hungry all the time. Can barely move.

man its easy if youre not a faggot
>switch to vape
>cut nicotine content slowly to lowest levels
>spend a week or two smoking weed or cbd flower to get over withdrawals
boom youre now smoke free

It's tough to quit, I bought a new vape and a puppy in Summer 2019 and that worked for getting me off them, when I craved a cigarette I just played with the dog instead, the nicotine withdrawal isn't so bad with a vape

>>26154895
I used to smoke and then I took some really strong acid and realized its really bad for me and quite silly

I can't afford to anymore
at the moment!
we all gonna make it

i like cigarettes, cigars even more so but i love riding my bike a lot more so i compromise by having a couple of cigars a year

>>26154895
yes just a month ago. Way I thought of it is you are going to feel great temptation but after a week this feeling will pass. You unironically have to man up and live like pic related for less than two weeks and then the horrible migraine inducing cravings will cease, but then you have to deal with the subtle urges which creep up on you. These last for awhile. Its a lot like nofap during this period. Except if u jerk it here you probably will die of cancer in the future

>>26154945
I've seen this pasta on /v/ in 2017 and /fit/ every now and then, I feel nostalgic since those were my poorfag days

>>26163525
vaping is not a substitute for brushing your teeth anon

>>26154945
>Peer pressuring people online
Keyed

>>26166386
dont have cigarettes at hand and dont buy them and remember that during the withdrawal period its like your body is getting rid of the nicotine dependence and when this is accomplished you wont feel that physical pains from not smoking

>>26154895
>>26154945
switch to vaping faggot

>>26155567
it's weird i just randomly stopped. i got tired of the hangovers and always feeling dehydrated and shitty

>>26155332
>20mg nic salt

there's you problem, don't vape the little chink tubes, learn how to build your own coils/setups and use proper materials (round kanthal is easy and overall safe), the feeling of inhaling more vapor tricks you into thinking you're getting a lot of nicotine, dual 18650 + sub ohm tank if you're too lazy to wrap a metal wire yourself which takes like 3 minutes, or get an RDA and chain vape 24/7 if you want. I got my neighbor who was smoking for over 30 years to quit by giving him some old vaping shit I had laying around and showing him how to use it, only reason I got into vaping in the first place was to get my mom to quit and she did.

>>26154895
don't quit now... keep smoking and lets pump up those PM stocks!

i've quit a few times for months at a time, but i usually come back because i miss it
i always just go cold turkey though

>>26154895
Yes

>>26154895
Yes, been vaping.

>>26167886
i'm a fan of chew

read this, it makes quitting genuinely easy, fucking gamechanger

>>26167886
I want a can of rape

>>26154895
As an interim, switch to a vape. Most of the really bad health effects of smoking (like cancer and asthma and COPD) are caused by inhaling all the garbage combustion products from burning leaves and paper, not from just the nicotine.

Vaping will keep your addiction placated without pumping benzene, cyanide compounds, "tar", and other crap into your lungs. If you later want to taper off the nicotine, vaping will let you control the amount precisely and eventually you'll be able to quit, maybe.

Just don't use THC vapes. They have to dissolve the THC in an oil base, which is why people were dying from vaping it -- the Chinese were shipping it dissolved in some sort of vitamin E derivative which caused lung damage. Nicotine is water-soluble and doesn't have that problem.

Try to keep the amount of PEG down, too. The only thing the dumbfucks add that into the mix for is to create those huge billowing clouds of "smoke", which look retarded. It doesn't seem to cause lung damage (and it's commonly used in transdermal medicines, so it's not going to kill you), but there's no point in giving it a chance.

Oh, and I'd also suggest NOT getting into the stupid "vape modding" stuff. The reports you see of vapes exploding is because morons directly short the Li-ion batteries to generate maximum power. Just use a normal one with a circuit to limit power, and your battery won't detonate like a Tesla.

>>26168149
Vaping also ruins your lungs with micro metals

>>26168149
Second this. Just vape nicotine salts, bro.

>>26154945
the levels of cope

>>26154895

yeah its easy, I quit last year thought it would be a lot more difficult.

first i used nicotine patches- 21mg for 6 weeks, 14 mg for 4 weeks, then 7mg for 4 weeks.

After that I got 2mg nicotine lozenges, and tok one every 4 hours, then one every 8 hours, then one a day. By this time Iwas forgetting them anyway, so it was easy enough.

I was expecting sick cravings and headaches, the mind playing trick with me etc- but none of that, if you treat it like a serious addiction and TAPER DOWN.

>>26160933
i smoke 2-3 cigarettes or 10-15 when i go out drinking. I run 3 miles in 19min. cope faggot
