Giving up the evil weed
I am currently in the process of giving up smoking,I am now on day 7.
Has anyone any experiences or tips on how they got on if they did it. I am currently going through the mangle at the moment

Are you going cold turkey ?
Vaping may help if you're really struggling. |

nip to your nearest book shop and buy alan carrs the easy way to stop smoking.and remember you are not giving up anything. look at as treating yourself.the phrase giving up in itself implies denying a pleasure.its is not. its drug addiction the only reason folks smoke is to get to the drug nicotine.the stress you are going thro is caused by the nicotine itself thats how it works.it will pass

I tried everything, hypnotherapy, patches, gum. Happily puffed away 30 a day for 35 years. Then got an ecig, a good one. Haven't had a fag for 2 years and more to the point have banked around £6000 in the process which is just as well as these Rover 75's do like money spent on them. Still have the ecig but at a very low level. Like it or not for me I may still like nicotine but am not filling my lungs with umpteen toxins etc. Don't have a cough anymore, if I have a cold it lasts days not weeks, I don't smell like an ashtray anymore and I have had 4 brilliant holidays courtesy of giving up. Okay I haven't quit as it were totally in a sense but for me it worked to get off tobacco

I give up when my daughter was born 35 years ago and still get the urge, you have to be strong and commited. One day at a time and good luck, think about the money you will save and the improvement in your health.

Ideally, if you keep resisting you will prevail. If you switch to vaping then you have another addiction to overcome (if you wish) The main issue I believe is that smokers miss the 'throat hit', vaping provides that hit. Downside of vaping is that many believe it's still not 'safe', and they never go out, so you can be vaping non stop. Mrs. Heddy and I switched to vaping around 2 yrs ago, no apparent side effects, no coughing, more energy etc, cheaper, but we're still vaping!
