[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

I quit smoking a little over a month ago and I feel like I really have it beat this time. I'm making a daily journal of comments on KZbin videos. Since I watch every SciShow video anyway, I won't have to do my usual search for a video relevant to how I'm feeling about quitting smoking. Quitting coffee and mostly caffeine ahead of quitting smoking (I'm down to three tea bags of green tea made as half a gallon of ice tea) was a big part of what I'm determined to make a success of quitting smoking this time around. Every time I had tried to quit before, I held on to drinking coffee for dear life as something I could still enjoy. This time around, I did most of the things I had heard recommended. And keeping away from triggers was one of them. I don't think anyone could savor coffee and a cigarette anymore than I did, but, if they are in contention, they should give up coffee a few weeks before quitting smoking. Another piece of advice that would apply to anyone quitting smoking is to try the nicotine replacement method before you get to your quit date. See how effective they are. I didn't smoke for the nine hours I was on company property at a job I had recently and nicotine lozenges made that totally tolerable for me. In fact it was nice not to be all huddled in the smoking area and just sit in the break room. Especially when the weather wasn't so great.

[@brianlanders8028]

At least green tea is fairly good for you, coffee is to, in moderation. I quit smoking 11 years ago, I did the patches and the nicotine gum, it was horrible, but I kept at it then I broke my arm and was sitting in my easy chair and lit up a cigarette and the pain in my arm was excruciating, that's when I decided I really need to step it up to quit. It took me approximately two years to quit, but I still enjoy a couple cups of coffee and a glass of tea every now and then. Just don't give up, it's tough, because I really enjoyed smoking, but after I broke my arm, that made me realize how awful smoking is. Good luck. 👍

[@SameAsAnyOtherStranger]

@@brianlanders8028 I remember an Omni magazine article blurb titled something like "Breaking Smokers Habits and Noses" that detailed how acupuncturists would target nerves in the nose that gave the sensation of having one's nose broken to cessate smoking. I think it was fairly shortly after that I got a smack to my nose and i was completely concurrent with that pathology.

Tho it does make sense that adderall wud likely make your body metabolise other drugs faster, so that makes sense youd need to use more Tho for me, cannabis is what i use bcuz i cant get access to adderall without a diagnosis ive been fightin for for yrs now... I know adderall works for me, and it works wonders; and in my case, i smoked less cannabis when i did have access to adderall (a at the time recently deceased friends old meds) bcuz the adderall does what the cannabis was doin for me, but even moreso Mostly its the executive dysfunction and sensory processing disorder that are handled by those drugs tho. It was rly nice when i had adderall bcuz i didnt smoke to reach a baseline of functioning, but instd i smoked to relax and unwind and actually feel high I hope that i can one day get the meds i need

Its also best to avoid consuming either prior to shoveling snow apparently, a majority (or at least way more than normal) of winter heart attacks are caused by the side effects of both caffiene and nicotine being exacerbated by the side effects of the cold and how your cardiovascular system responds to cold on top of the labor aspect increasing your heart rate simultaneously.

The only reason any lives matter is if they make/cost money or power to the people who have enough money/power to individually influence public policy and I'm sick and tired of the people without massive personal wealth or power marching on behalf of any lives just being a distraction from what the people who do have wealth/power are doing.

When I worked in a coffee shop years ago, I once drank every extra espresso shot and by break time, I was feeling really jittery.
