Good luck BTL, i genuinely hope you can get off them and re-discover the taste of food and anything else you may occasionally consume :slobber:
All the best BTL. I have set my date and like you just going cold turkey. 20th August for me.
I agree with going straight cold turkey. I contemplated vaping to help quitting smoking but glad never went that way. I wasn't a really heavy smoker, more like 5-6 ciggies a day for almost 8 years with rare breaks.
I stopped this February. Now never have the urge anymore. What I had to do was, about 2-3 weeks into my quitting, to quell the urge I would go to a Pub/RSL and buy a smoke from someone for $2 and smoke. That reinforced my will to quit as I would hate the smell/feeling and be pissed with myself. So another couple of weeks would go by before I had to do it again. And then I didn't have to do it at all!
Buying one ciggie than a pack is better otherwise I would have wanted to finish off that pack and back to square one trying to quit.
How about coming back on this thread and updating us on how you're going? Hopefully looking back at your posts could keep you motivated and maybe help other punters become motivated as well.Quote:

4 years minus 8 months while i was overseas and didn't have access to nicotine vape
quit now mate....
Smoke cannabis instead. Much better for the lungs 😁Quote:

I never got into smoking but i did and still do, chew nicotine gum religiously. 6-8 a day. Started off to compliment my ritalin addiction and now I can't function without having a nico gum. O well. Goodluck OP.
Better yet, if i want to smoke weed, why dont i concoct my own THC vape? much better delivery efficiency!Quote:

I became a connoisseur, a master of the decarboxylation, I can cook, vape, smoke, infuse, make dabs that look like honey..... it's one thing I am very very good at. At my best, I had a beautiful 4 chamber glass setup. I could honk a full gram of unspun green in one hit.
I miss those days....
P.S congrats Bigtitlover! You are doing great bro!! Keep on keeping on brother, before you know it, ciggies will be an afterthought.
It's a curse that wants to suck you back in. But you know it offers you nothing but poisonous crap. And makes you pay big money as well! Remember Those cravings are temporary, but the benefits of not smoking will be permanent.Quote:

yeah i dont have them at home, though i do go out a fair bit and many of my mates smoke....that being said i need to isolate myself lolQuote:
