What is the Single Best Thing You Can Do to Quit Smoking?

[@nitrobass816]

"It's gonna be a challenge now, and it's gonna be a challenge in 5 years. So why not do it now?" That's an extremely good point.

[@leandro8897]

Actually, it gets more challenging, we smokers all know it, so that makes this point even stronger

[@timothyhelton9384]

Good word. We learn everything in life by explanation, experience, and example. Here is my explamation based off of experience. Maybe it will be and example to someone ,though you can only read the explanation. Those little round packs, Zyn ,the nicotine salt you put in your mouth. Its not nasty like dip, tastes like mint . It works better than a patch for me, because it is intended to work for an hour at a time. A patch distributes nicotine for 24 hours. So there is no high point in that 24 hours if you get a craving. So ,I wake up, eat ,and want a cigarette. I can put the Zyn in. Its fast ,within a minute the nicotine hits me ,its not nasty at all, but like a mint. Its 4 dollars for 15 in a pack. But you won't need to use many. I went from a pack a day to using 5 of those. What about the hand to mouth addiction? This is why I almost switched to a vape. But what I did ,was grabbed a pack of hemp cigarettes. You can't puff them ,but you have to pull them like weed. But it smokes, and has no addictive chemical(maybe slightly for some, but not for me) So what this did ,was took the idea from my mind that when I puff something, I get my nicotine fix. However both cravings , the nicotine craving ,and the hand to mouth craving ,was satisfied. Now I like cbd products for my skin. I even use the Dr Teals Epsom salt for my bath and it has thc . However I do not like to alter my mind. I can say ,the hemp cigarettes come with a mild relaxing feeling ,then it wears off after a few minutes . They also were not addictive. Its not something you will are likely to end up going out and buying pack after pack like cigarettes. You see,once I broke the idea in my mind that nicotine comes from puffing something, it was easier to ween it out of my system. Both of my parents died of lung cancer 13 years ago. My mom never smoked . I'm 41 ,I quit smoking when I was 33. I've been to about 20 funerals and have a sister, aunt and uncle left. I didn't smoke for 7 years after I quit at 33 , then I had another ,different type of trial in my life ,and instead of completely relying on my faith ,I started smoking again. Smoked for 6 months. Before that 6 months ,I smoked weed for 5 months, which helped lead to that trial (i had been clean 7 years). The nicotine in the blunt wraps got me. So when I quit smoking weed, I went to cigarettes shortly thereafter . So I pretty much put my lungs through the ringer for 11 months ,although i could still run 7 miles on the eliptical because I do not slack on exercise and diet. We walk in the woods 4 or 5 times a week ,and eat healthy. A good friend of mine also quit smoking by switching to vapes. It seems better than the dry smoke from cigarettes which BBQ your lungs as he put it. So when I was 33 ,I quit cold turkey. This last time , I set a date. I said I would not smoke longer than 6 months and put it in my calendar . During the 2 months leading to the date , I experimented with patches ( which work pretty well) and and some herbal cigarettes. My friend who switched to vape stopped by one day, and gave me some ZYN salt wintergreen. I put those two together(salt and hemp cigs) with my faith , and putting down the cigarettes was easier than I expected. I also took some vacation time off of work , as we worked through the pandemic due to military orders. I do recommend that if you want to quit smoking that you try to get some time off of work. Try to remove any stressful thing from your life for a week or so. Stress also kills and leads to many different bad things , so if you are successful , consider trying to keep moving in that direction. Back when I was younger , I had to quit things several times due to getting locked up (5 drug felonies before I was 33). See it's not just about quitting, but having your mind made up. If you are of the faith ,then I have extra advice for you ,and even if not ,i can still help in some areas. I hope this helps someone who wants to quit . I want you to put the cigarettes down . I do believe tapering down with the vape would have worked as well , but I want people to know there are several methods for this . Maybe you tried one thing and failed. Maybe you have tried multiple times abd failed. There is a method for you. Our brains are not all wired the same. I have an addictive personality so I have to be extra careful. I think most of us are addicted to caffeine , let that be the only thing. If you kick that in today's world ,I salute you! Feel free to message me, my fb name is the same that is on here. Consistency is a sign of integrity. There are only a few things I waver back and forth with,depending on the topic. One is pragmatism. In this case , if you want to quit ,ask yourself if the ends justify the means. Here's a video to give you an idea of some of my thinking kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmTSZoybq9l-ras

I smoked heavily for 45 years. A few weeks ago, I'd been feeling bad for a week so went to my primary doctor. My doctor discovered that my blood O2 saturation was at 70 which is very dangerous. Huge risk of sudden death. Doctor sent me to the hospital. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and COPD. I knew I had COPD for years. It got so bad that I struggled to breathe when I laid down and my heart would pound. I couldn't walk 30 feet without breathing hard. The pulmonologist told me that if I continued to smoke, I'd be dead in 2 years. He also said that if I quit smoking now, I can expect significant healing and live a long life. The antibiotics, steroids and breathing treatments I got in the hospital really helped. After 4 days without smoking in the hospital, I have kept going. I feel so much better. My cardio has increased about 500%. I wear a patch when I'm at work and munch hard candy all day. The candy is what I used to replace the cigarettes. I've only been smoke free for 15 days, but that's something I was never able to do before. I know I will never smoke again. I almost passed the point of no return. Fast forward to 2022. What a trip reading what I wrote in 2017. It's been 4 years and 11 months now and I haven't smoked. I'm alive and feeling much better. In 2017, I told myself I would just have to endure the withdrawal and I did. I only used the patches for a few days. The hard candy helped a lot, but with or without it I will never smoke. If you make up your mind to do it, nothing can stop you. The cravings started to lessen after a couple weeks and I felt stronger. If you think you can't stop smoking, you're wrong. I did it. You can do it too.

I recently quit smoking and for some reason it wasn’t that hard. I told myself, “I wasn’t born a smoker. I started smoking by choice.

44year smoker, and I quit cold turkey 11months, 28 days ago. 3 tips: Concentrate on cutting down months before your quit date. Limit yourself to only 1 cigarette an hour, this will get you below 1 pack a day. When you quit, drink a lot of water. Have a bottle of water with you, all day. Lastly, the hardest cigarettes to quit are the "boredom cigarettes." Figure out something to do, to fill in those boredom cravings--take a walk, read a book, etc. The REALLY good news: I had a Lung CT scan done. No signs of Cancer. It is NEVER too late to quit. You can do this, and I promise you, you'll be loving life when you get over that hump. Best of luck to you, God Bless. Remember, we're ALL born non-smokers.

[@3mountains307]

Good plan. Even easier is to only smoke when you actually WANT to smoke, and only as much of the cigarette as you actually want. No beating yourself up. No suffering. No trying. This process keeps the nicotine at a steady state, and allows the natural body processes to get rid of the extra nicotine receptors the body had to make to accommodate the extra nicotine from routinely smoking cigarettes. Nobody has to quit cold turkey. I quit in 1975, started again in Iraq in 1991, quit using the same easy way when I came back to the States six months later.

[@lynnbaker2336]

Hope that all of the recent quitters are still in the fight! I stopped and started numerous times before quitting! Not only that, but spent twelve to fifteen years buying individual cigarettes for a dollar in order to reduce my intake! For that long I smoked one to fifteen cigarettes a day! ( it was typically ten or less) because, for some reason, I could not have a pack in front of me without smoking one after the other.( I had been a two to three pack a day chain smoker for aprox. Fifteen years) one day, I was once agian, smoking five cigarettes or less a day, and thought" if I can't do it now I never will" and quit once agian. Fourteen years now. One strong piece of advice: when the urge hits0, get Busey, physically or mentally, and before you know it the moment will hpppave passed. Fourteen years later, I would not trade the way I feel for anything in the world! KEEP UP THE FIGHT! YOU CAN DO THIS!

It was a similar case for me. Started at 15 quit out of the blue at 24. I suddenly just didn't feel like it. Gained a bunch of pounds but it was fine since I have always been working out. I feel like I am gaslighting myself when I read the experiences of others but I never thought about quitting as being a big deal. For most of the time I smoked a cigarette per half an hour. But reading some of the comments makes me believe that I wasn't addicted but just being bored and going through the motions. I don't know, maybe it's me but I feel like making addiction out as an ever present shadow instead of a mosquito that you just need to make effort to squash seems like the false approach. This, of course only concerns tobacco and alcohol, both of which I have been addicted to.

Day 2-3 is the worst physically. Day 7-10 is the worst psychologically. Same goes for people whos trying to stop weed. Also dont let relapse make you give up. I relapsed weed smoking alot, but i didnt change my perspective about it. I just hated it more and more, which lead me to learn more about it. Eventully i got educated in knowing about whats going on with my condition. What helped me is that i prepared for it, then i isolated my self for 30 days. I kept my self moving, sweating, drinking 7-8 liter water a day, and followed vloggers talking about their condition while also stopping. Hearing that people is going through the same, and understanding that its natural detox symptoms was great help. Your body is getting clean. Eat healthy during your detox, because you are teaching your brain a new life style. Irritation, anxiety, insomnia, and loss of appitite is the main widrawal symptoms. Appitite will slowly get better after day 2. Same goes for insomnia, the more your appitite comes back the better you can sleep. Irritation will fade slowly after day 7-10. Anxiety will stick on a little longer. You know one gets same symptoms when losing someone close. Or a dog! Its normal, natural, and (not) dangerous like when quitting alcohol or heroin. Lastly! Its alright to be with the moment. Some people prefere to do it alone (thats what i did), some people need someone to talk with. Personally i dont like anyone to see my weaknesses. It would have made me relapse! Day 7-10 is mostly when people relapse. But also dont underestimate it, because many also relapse after 6month even tho they are over all cravings and widrawal symptoms. Thats because life can be tough in periods. So learning how to cope like you did before you started to smoke, is very important. In a sense you are getting born again. Day 14-30 is when you are over all widrawal symptoms and cravings. Thats when you feel like been reborn. You smile and proud of your self. You start to enjoy life! But as i said learn how to cope with problems and stress, as you did before you started to smoke, because life is full of surprices. Good luck

​​​@@user-ih4fd9sf8x Trine was mentioning been reborn, and also to learn how to cope again as you used to, before you got depended on smoking your problems away. Treat your self as a new born the first 5 years after quitting. Because like a new born you would be vulnerable, and sensitive. During these 5 years teach your self to cope (slowly). And it could be things as simple as breathing exercises. Counting to 10 when irritated. Simple small baby steps that we learned as children but took them forgranted with time. During these first 5 years connect with your self. With the inner innocents / child. Its alright. You can use time looking at old pictures from when you were around 1-12 years old, ask parents how you learned to do this and that... have a moment together. Reminiscing what your gym teacher told you, when panicking during gym class. How to take it slow, focus. Etc... Do some meditation, yoga, jogging. Point is be good with your self the first 5 years after quitting. Take it slow. Connect with the inner child. And try not to take too much in exactly like a new born. Good luck 💫 and happy (new) year 🤗

I have never smoked a day in my life and don't suffer like smokers here in the comment section. But watching the video made me see how difficult it is for you and i really hope you all find the strength and direction to steer your way from it. I lived with a roommate for just 4 month and I never knew just how bad smoking can affect the body and mind. My roommate smoked 2 packs a day in the house. He was only 43 years old, former military ranger, fought in many places around the world, in fact he was shot on the battlefield and lived. Now after 20 years in the military and a habitual smokers he has a terrible cough an awful cough that is very persistent. One day he came back from the doctor with a new prescription , i said to him " so what's the pills for , the cough?" he said "no my heart". The doctor said his heart is affected and in some weird cycle loop is causing the severity of his cough. I jokingly but kinda seriously said "hey so you gonna quit now huh". He looked at me with a very serious look and said " no are you crazy man!". I laughed but knew he was dead serious about his commitment to cigarettes. This was the first time i ever experienced something like this, a 43 years old man with 2 young children, he should have just outright said to me he'd live long enough to smoke his next cigarette than see his children grow. A month later he had a wisdom tooth pulled, i was chatting with him the evening and said " holy cow that must hurt like a bitch". He immediately replied with " Man you know this doctor said to me you have to quit smoking at least long enough for the gum to heal and that the smoke would affect the healing process" he continued with his response to the doctor about temporarily quitting " I laughed and told the doctor I'm not quitting so let's figure something else out". The doctor gave him gauze to pack the gum every time he needed to smoke. I witness this guy go threw the hassle of packing his gum constantly to smoke, no surprise i took him to doctor to figure out why his gum wasn't healing. Anyway, i wasn't living with a druggie nor a drunkard but if this is anything close to what it is like to feed a meth or alcoholic addiction then smokers have it hard and need to band together to kick the habit for good. I learned first hand that smoking cigarettes is just like a heroine user.Heroine may make you sell your bed and food and die earlier from an overdose, cigarettes are more subtle, the bodily effects are slower the social stigma is minimal. Watching my roommate for 4 months made me see that cigarettes affect your rational thought and ultimately leads to irreparable illness and still cause your death at any rate. There are folks here talking about the issues they have that makes quitting difficult. It may be hard but you must stop or you'll end up like my roommate, an irrational addict willing to cause a gum infection, deepen a heart condition to continue the smoking addiction. Please folks.

I quit when I was 26, nearly 12 years ago, and I smoked for 13 years prior to that. When I quit I was smoking a pack and a half to two packs a day. I decided to just go cold turkey. I filled my pockets with my favorite flavored hard candy (cinnamon & root beer) and mustered up all the will power I could muster. I had tried to quit many, many times before. It was soooooo hard to quit that last time, but man I'm glad I did. If I can quit, anyone can quit.

It has been 15 years since i started smoking and i find it impossible to quit right now. There's a fight between me and my cravings, the nicotine craving is a sensation, exactly like hunger or thirst. It's a challenge not to smoke for 4 hours and i really can't quit. The solution for me: buy a boat, head into the storm, get thrown on a deserted island with no cigarettes or matches...Even then i would dry some leaves, learn how to make fire with sticks and smoke those dry leaves :)) I hate my life as a smoker.

Mijay12, that is _SOOOOO_ true! The only other time I quit, I was able to make it to two years (I was only able to quit with the help of Chantix though). And then I had a massive relapse and it has taken me another two years to try to quit again (I have just completed my fifth day of being smoke-free). What got me was a *massively stressful period of time* that I was not prepared to mentally handle without slipping. One cigarette was all it took… And then I cheated again a couple weeks later, and then again a week later, and then a few days later... and next thing I know, I was back to smoking a pack a day! You really do have to be on your guard for the rest of your life, using any other coping skill you can possibly imagine before resorting back to having that one cigarette (because you think you can handle it). At the moment, I am struggling with destroying the one cigarette I have left in my pack from the night before I chose to quit. That is the mental part of it! After I had made it past the first day of being smoke-free (again, with the help of Chantix… I had been on the drug for three weeks at this point), I really thought I had smoked the rest of the pack when I quit, so I was veru disheartened to discover the next day that I actually had *ONE* left in there (knowing full well that one is all it takes). I am trying to build up the will power to destroy that one cigarette so that it won’t be an easy option to slip when I get too strong of a craving or a really stressful moment in time. He is really crazy what a physical and psychological grip this drug called nicotine will have on us the moment we began consuming it. The scientists aren’t kidding when they say that quitting nicotine is more difficult than quitting heroin! So after telling my story, I have to ask you: Have you tried quitting again since you wrote your remark here? If so, how did it go?? I sincerely hope you quit again and were finally successful this time (and remain successful!).

Three months ago I went through a very stressful event in my life and started again. Probably only because I had already had 3 beers and I don’t normally drink anymore so while buzzed I bought a pack. I am up to a pack a day again and I hate myself. I’m so ashamed of myself. I have small children and tried to hide it at first but couldn’t any longer. I keep trying to smoke all of my cigarettes like 10 in a row to be done with the pack but the next evening keep buying more. I need the strength to quit again. I only quit because I was nursing my son. I started the week he stopped nursing.

Very nice presentation. I started to read Alan Carr’s book when I quit. I over smoked one night and felt awful and really wanted to quit, where I could feel good.

The book kinda dumped you at the end, which was rather strange, but I was full-on for the ride of quitting for good. “I made up my mind!” I reinforced how good I felt and repeated to myself that I was a non-smoker now and had some mental tricks to reinforce the reinforcement. It worked and then I enlisted the big guns in starting Wim Hof breathing and yoga and I added in meditation. It’s not rocket science and you don’t need courses and expensive rambling books - Just Do It? It’s all over KZbin and there’s an app to help log one’s journey. I felt great over the next weeks and found I could walk, run and do things without getting winded, which reinforced the whole concept again. How stupid was smoking! I realized then I didn’t need these expensive killer things in my life. I started running up and down mountains; slowly at first, but stopping to enjoy the journey and Mother Nature. I can now do 10 to 12 pull-ups on a door frame hang bar, followed immediately by 20 press-ups each day with little effort, except - The mind to ‘Just Do It” . I feel good. Even lockdowns didn’t deter me; in fact it helped me a lot. I am 72 years old and feel so much better. It started with a first step of agreeing with myself to QUIT and then without a fixed destination, enjoyed the ride and didn’t suffer after the first week or so. It’s mental reinforcement gymnastics and in that resolve you will also be a winner. It’s been well over 7 years now and I feel great. I guarantee that if you make your decision and follow some good advice; you will feel so much better too! If you at any time you may feel a crave; remember that when you take a drag on a cancer stick, you convince yourself it tastes good, but three drags on, when the craving is somewhat satisfied, the taste will become awful and the coughing disruptive if you continue. So you remember that in all its horrible so-called glory and thank your lucky stars that you QUIT and feel so good now. Any time you feel yourself weakening; remember that horrible, ‘$hitty’ taste in your mouth and lungs and how you used to wheeze so much before you quit for good and how great you are feeling now. Every day in every way you are feeling better still is a good mantra.

This was very informative doctor, thank you! I was a heavy smoker for 20 years and quit 15 years ago. Avoiding bi-annual bouts of bronchitis was a huge motivator. Thought I dodged a bullet until last year when I had a little ulcer on my tongue that wouldn't heal. Biopsy revealed stage 1 cancer. The oncologist said that oral cancer is directly related to smoking. July, 2020 I had surgery to remove part of my tongue. It was a nightmare. Had to be tube fed for a month because it was too painful to eat and drink. I was lucky in the sense that I didn't need chemo or radiation treatment but the doctor said there are cancer cells in my mouth that can become malignant. It's too late for regrets but the way I see it, the sooner the better when you quit smoking. Cancer is very real, very expensive and very painful.

I now go for walks every day, prioritize alone time so I can focus on my goals (which helps with the cravings), I learn new things everyday, make room for a creative activity etc, the list goes on.

Cravings for smokes after quitting splits into two kinds. One in your head (mind) one in your body. Your mind's cravings need time to readjust. Hold out. The bodily cravings are merely nothing but drug addiction. Your body demands it. Hold out for the first two weeks (the worst) and by a month or two it'd be gone.

But my nicotine cravings are way down and I found that one day without smoking isn't too hard, so I'm in this in-between phase.

I gave up cigarettes cold turkey after 20 years without any nicotine replacement aids and it was easier than I thought it would be. I was expecting the nicotine withdrawal to be really bad but in truth I didn't really notice it that much. The hardest part was changing my daily routine which felt weird to begin with but after a couple of weeks it started to feel a bit more natural and I could start enjoying the benefits of not smoking. I don't want to sound preachy here but if you are looking for an incentive to quit, apart from the obvious health benefits, just think of the money you'll save, not having to go outside and freeze in winter, not having to think about always having a lighter or how many ciggies you've got left, not having to deal with people who are offended by your air pollution, or your stinky, acrid breath! But most of all, you have the satisfaction of no longer being slugged with a huge tax by the government while the rest of your hard earned dollars go to a cigarette company that is thriving on your continued addiction to their product. You can be free of it, all you need to do is simply not put them in your mouth.

It’s rare to have such a big health impact so early in life. In my experience, most of the people I know who smoke don’t worry too much about getting sick from it because its a chance they’re willing to take in order to have something they enjoy. But at the same time most of them would give it up if they felt like they could. My original message was directed at those people really. Anti smoking messages are nearly always focussed on the health benefits but I think the benefits are much wider than that - especially financially. Here in Australia the cost of cigarettes is absolutely ludicrous.

[@sloanewoodford7567]

I really struggled to quit smoking. (I had thought I wasn't addicted but suddenly, I realized I totally was!) How I quit was by taking the prescribed limit of Nicorette gum BUT not in the way they recommended: I would bite off just half or a third of each piece when cravings struck and chew down to release the nicotine just every few minutes. I was able to have relief most of my waking day. Another weird thing I did was this (but it worked!) When my bf or pals were going to a dark club & invited me along, I did not want to miss out. SO I went with them but after a while, when second-hand smoke wafted by, instead of longing to smoke I brought out a large apple and took tiny bites of it for over an hour & then danced. I'd heard that alcohol does not help at that stressful time so I ordered cranberry juice with soda-water (spritzer). It tasted tart and fooled my taste buds and had the added effect of making me a popular designated driver. Once several months went by, I tackled my dependence on the gum and now I'm smoke-free, nicotine-free, and I feel so GOOD and genuinely DON'T miss it at all. YaY.

[@sloanewoodford7567]

This is an IMPORTANT P.S. which also helped me greatly: I told myself I could not fairly decide whether or not to smoke while addicted to nicotine. I made a pact to quit cigarettes for just six months and THEN I'd be in a better position to choose whether or not I really wanted to be a smoker. It was very scary for me to think that I would never smoke again so I told myself this was just for 6 mos. & then re-evaluate. LOL, once I had gone through that time period, I was so happy to be nicotine-free BUT if I hadn't been, I imagine I'd have told myself I'd be a fool to backtrack. And btw, DON'T have an occasional one at a social event, your present level of addiction never dies down and this can set you off puffing away all over again. Believe me, I know...this happened the first time I tried to quit.

It's sounds cheesy but I believe I can do this. :D Thank you again for the encouragement. I really appreciate it. xxxx

After 33 years of smoking,one day last year because of pain and short breath I decided that I had bought my last pack of cigs.I did not go cold turkey but rather used horrible tasting nicotine candy and gum.I felt basically stoned out of my mind for about 3 weeks after giving up the smokes but afterwards just felt a little tried.I loved the feeling of being high without the drugs.My first cigarette felt good like a small up-lifting high but quitting was and is so much better and my mood got to be so intensely great-why would I ever go back to tobacco? The good things are just the following for me_ I do not stink of putrid cigarette smoke (hair,skin and clothes),lovely women and guys like me better.I do not burn my carpet or clothes anymore .I now know I was born without a cigarette in my mouth and the money saved is really a mark of my having saved myself.One last but important thing-quit only if you want too or feel the time is right,do not feel you must because I or someone else says so.You choose to smoke and you choose to quit. Please try to give up the bad and embrace the good. Bob

@@shanerussell2023 not so good bro, but it's better, i learned that for me it's harder if i'm trying to force this thing to happen. But i also feel it will happen really soon for good, when i will stop fighting with it ✌🏼

@@shanerussell2023 try to love the part of you that's smoking and make peace with it. I saw that for me the cigarettes are the distraction from some fears inside of me. I stopped for a few days and i cried so much shit out and now i don't feel so much attachment like before. God bless you, brother, i know you can, we all do 🤗
