Quitting Smoking

It's been 6 months since I had my last cigarette. Most of the time I'm OK, but every once in a while it's like this

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Turns out, quitting cheesecake and chocolate bars is 10 times harder than quitting smoking.

I have to agree with you. Need very big effort when we want to quit smoking.
I hv tried but suceed only few days... Specially when I was in under pressure situation, daammnn,,, i cant avoid not to smoke.
Nevertheless, still I am trying to reduce it... Of course i want to stop at all...

Congrats......remember not to give into those cravings. Not to mention, it seems as if after you quit and think that only having one cigarette is okay...it isn't. Most people I know that feel just having one cigarette is fine, wind up smoking again.

I tried once...8 am...it was all correct...I was delighted...wow! I can...then with a friend in the afternoon...he offered me a cigarette...I smoked half and then remembering...oh! I had left...threw it....friend asked me what happened, one who has the real intentions not to spare even the filter....threw, the half still left...
Now I think why to leave smoking....and when it has been a real companion for the last more than three decades....never I finally decided....no idea of quitting....no guilt....

I have tried to quit smoking and bought the vapour cigarette...it is helpful but not the same as a real cigarette...but it reduces the need to light up...and it is odourless...

Costs about $2 for 20 cigarettes here. Not a lot of economic incentive.

I used to enjoy a polite smoke and also the Flys ganja,,but gave em both up 3 years ago,,the health benefits of giving up the smokes however is undeniable,keep up the good work my friend....I never experienced the appetite gain personally....But cheesecake and chocolate bars are also a pleasant experience...seems everything is bad for us these days..

Just keep on not smoking!! Soon enough you will stop cravings, its actually just in your head and mostly its a movement of your hand with the cigarette in to your mouth - big time in the memory of your brain and body movements. Take a wooden toothpick or a pencil, keep it between your fingers, play it with your fingers or chew sometimes. It sounds funny but it works. Am not smoking for 12 years now and very happy! Good luck!! :)

I'm off them since late January and, to be honest, havent looked back. Vaping E-cigs was my saving grace. Looking back I dont know how I afforded cigarettes
