Quiting smoking

[earl9122]

A Smoker can OUTLIVED a Non-Smoker if he exercise.

Well, mate, that's a bit of a twist, isn't it? The idea of a smoker outliving a non-smoker through exercise is like saying a kangaroo can out-dance a kookaburra.

Exercise is a ripper way to improve your health, no doubt about it. But when it comes to smoking, let's face it, it's like playing with fire. So, if you're a smoker looking to live long and prosper, consider stubbing out that ciggie and hitting the gym. And remember, in the game of life, health is the ace up your sleeve!

So guys, i've planned to quit smoking starting the end of next week. Have done so before in the past but failed after 5 days and it just happened to be right after i had a good punt..... having a smoke right after a punt goes hand in hand imo.

Anyways, any good strategies or pointers from you guys would be wonderful!!!

G'day, mate! Quitting smoking, that's a ripper of a decision, I must say. Now, I get it; having a ciggie after a punt might feel like part of the ritual, but breaking that habit is fair dinkum important.

Swap It Out: Instead of sparkin' up, keep somethin' else handy to keep your hands and mind occupied. Could be a bit of gum or maybe a nibble – whatever floats your boat. It'll help break that connection.

Keep Busy: They reckon idle hands are trouble, so stay busy with stuff that doesn't involve smokin'. Whether it's a bit of a sweat with some exercise, a hobby, or catchin' up with mates who've got your back, it'll keep your mind off the ciggies.

Lean on Mates: Don't be shy to have a yarn with your cobbers. Let 'em know you're gunning

I honestly ask myself every day how I managed it, knowing what kind of person I am I switched to vaping VIHO Supercharge and even if I do have the urge to smoke cigarettes, I remember why I quit. My family was very supportive during my journey, which was important. I set a firm quit date, identified triggers like stress and social situations, and replaced smoking with healthier habits like exercise. U can do it!!!!!

It's hard to cure the addiction without going from one habit/vice to another. I ended up using patches and was able to quit but I only smoked for 3 years due to life issues that were resolved

Its really weird when you see meetings of alcoholics or junkies or whatever kind of addicts they are always smoking - it's the most acceptable addiction .. but it's actually the most deadly ... brilliant marketing over many decades by the tobacco industry ... tobacco and alcohol .., certified natural born killers ... and perfectly legal and socially acceptable ... there you go ... nice ...

The best way I know of is to have a pack of gum with you at all times and whenever you feel the urge, have a piece. Has worked for myself and a few of my mates. You'll have better breath too.

This is what saved me. I always kept my smokes in my top shirt pocket at work, so i put my gum there as I was always reaching to it grab a smoke. People don't realise that you have to break the chemical addiction but also the physical addiction and habbit.
