Anyone tried quitting smoking..

I am not a smoker but my partner is. Been trying to think of ways on how to help quit smoking. Told him he will die of lung cancer if he does. I was thinking of buying e-cig for him I hope it does help. Crossing fingers.

At OP, it's all about loving yourself and wanting to live longer. No one has control over your life but you alone. There would be lapses along the way as temptations start to rise but I know for sure you will become stronger as the day pass by. Good luck on your journey.

OP when I don't smoke, I feel very cranky but I feel I've got more energy, maybe because I'm so f***ed off the lack of nicotine, nevertheless I work better.

Are you just feeling a bit you know...lazy?
 
I quit once using Zyban. Its a drug that makes smoking pointless- actually makes the act of doing it unpleasant. Worked brilliantly until I got to Goa and decided I'll have a pack as I was on a beach and the cigs were so cheap.

I read that Alan Carr book too but it didn't work. It is too boring to read again. Bought an ecig a few months ago but hardly ever use it.I think you have to really want to quit from inside, maybe having a kid or a medical complaint would help, but for now fuck it.
 
it'll be 3 years for me in October

Nicotine does definitely help concentration, it is something I miss about smoking but the other health benefits outweigh that for me.

Ive quit 3 times each for 3, 4,1 years. I have so much irritability when im not smoking and it lasts until I smoke again. Right now im off the butts for over a year and my wife said she wants to divorce me because im such a bitch :(
 
Smoked then chewed to quit, then smoked again, then tried patches, gum in a never ending cycle. Now i use "purified portion" snus from northerner. The regular snus takes getting use to, but trust me go purified, you can make out with your chick while ones in and she wont even know. No harm to health or teeth. Still get the nic hit
 
I quit smoking 2 years ago and tried many times unsuccessfuly before that.

1. The only way to go is cold turkey. Patches, gums, dildos, etc. still get you nicotine therefore you are still addicted. If you want to break the addiction you have to stop receiving the drug. Be a fucking man and quit cold turkey.

2. Candies and mints and shit help a lot in the beginning. Sunflower seeds can be very beneficial if you are used to having a dip in your mouth.

3. It is an entirely different world on the other side. You will realize just how fucking shitty tobacco can make your life once you quit. You smell better, taste things better, and start to look better especially in the face. I quit at age 21 so I hadn't really smoked long enough to get leather face but you can definitely tell if a person in their late twenties smokes. Quit NOW.

4. For me it was causing some anxiety issues which went away quickly upon quitting.

5. I still get cravings once in a while, especially when drinking. But they are easy to deal with. Be committed to quitting and you will succeed.

Good luck.
 
reading this thread fucking depresses me.

i'm glad i've never tried cigs and hope i never will.
 
I just quit and I know what you mean. I would take a break from work, smoke my cigarettes and have epiphanies as I was smoking.
