Smoking is extremely harmful to health it's said that smoking brings death cigarette smoke contains quite 2 hundred toxins which may be a burden for the body this may gradually become a habit to offer up don't quit smoking suddenly 90% of individuals quit smoking basically only a few people achieve this manner. The remainder of the people became frustrated and began smoking again so take a while prepare mentally take help of others then attempt to leave slowly.

Nope,if you really wanted to stop then do it once not by lessening the usage because i do that for how many times before and i fail.

I am a smoker that can take many packs a day and i tried doing this but failure is what i got.

Until one day i did it completely,Flushing my remaining cigarettes in Toilet bowl and throwing my lighter in back yard.

SInce then i stopped smoking and it was almost 5 years now that i am free from smoking for 3 decades of smoking.

Hello, a little update on stopping with smoking!

Well it's more then a year ago that I quit smoking tabacco, and I still dont smoke cigarettes
Since Corona my brother is living home again and I am smoking some hash with him again.

But I have no desire to start smoking cigarette's again!
1 of the big advantages is that I save a lot more money, before when I got any money I would most of the time spend it on tabacco and weed.
Now I dont even know what to do with it, I put some more in to Crypto's of course, also bought a big boxing bag so I can lose some weight.
Because I did gain some weight because I started eating a little more, then before also with corona almost no exercise.

But I am happy for sure that I quit those stinking toxic cigarettes, and if I can do it you guys can do it to!!

Your idea is also correct, if count we have burned a lot for money, but getting rid of the effects of smoking is really difficult.

First you need to find why you are smoking a lot, especially at what conditions! And try to rectify it. You can't stop smoking over night just try to reduce the number of cigarettes over time and some day you will be smoking lot less and even it can lead to complete Stop.

Your writing was great.It was a bit of fun But you have said many important things.But I would like to share some of my own experiences with you, I'm trying to quit smoking long ago  You may not believe that I have dug up almost everything you said, but I can't give up.If you have any good tips to quit smoking, tell me I want to quit smoking in exchange for everything.৷ Because I waste a lot of money on smoking

WOW!! This deserves a prize for digging this up 

Actually, this is a useful topic.
I did not quit smoking but changed to IQOS due to the prohibition of menthol flavored cigarettes in Europe.
It takes a while to get used to, but I think this is a better choice. I reduce smoking, it is one of the few pleasures I have. very difficult do leave at all.
And I notice that I sleep better, and breath better.
This is a controversial topic, because I know that is bad for your health, and they must use some kind of replacements that are also not good for you.

Anyone in the IQOS world? Did you notice some changes as well?

Yeah, doing that combining with fixing a date could be a good beginning! Maybe fixing deadline on every step could be helpful so

Even though smoking is harmful to health we know that we all do it because it has become a habit for us. If we have good intentions we can avoid smoking cessation The main reason for smoking is our lack of goodwill. Even though smoking causes harm to our health, we love it because we smoke.

Strongly agree with the opinion above, that quitting smoking is something that is just as difficult when you like gambling. the more prohibited the more you will feel like something is missing from yourself. it all has to depend on yourself to want a change, even though it's easy to say but difficult when practiced. remember if there is a will there will be a solution.

Back when I used to smoke pack and a half a day I used the tactic that you describe. I counted my cigarettes for 2 weeks and then I try to reduce my intake by 2 cigs a week. Even though most people around me didn't support this tactic (you must stop cold turkey they said), it worked pretty well for me. In about 2 months I reduced my habit to half a pack (10 cigarettes) but I just didn't get all the way to 0. It stayed like that for next 2 years (half a pack). But on december 20th i stopped completely for about two weeks and then I gradually start again. Now I smoke about 4 cigarettes a day. I still smoke but if you consider that I could smoke up to 30 (or more) cigarettes a day I would say I improved.


I also think this is a good advice, because no matter how strong your power of will is you're still going to experience some strong cravings. Especially when you get to your triggers (alcohol, cafe, after lunch, etc.)... you will feel a strong urge to smoke so it's good to have something to redirect your thoughts from smoking. 

Smoking is injurious to health

what is Iqos?sorry but this is the first time i hear about this to be used as alternative for smoking?

if you want to quit,do it alone without any remedy or alternative because that only proves you have no Guts and dedication to make it happen.

Yes is it kinda like that, You can also replace smoking with eating because it releases dopamine in the brain, that is why a lot of people who stop smoking will gain weight.
I think finding a replacement is a good thing to do but it should be healthy otherwise you will just trade 1 bad habbit for another bad one.

I think you either stopping smocking or not. And by all these substitudes like chewing gums, sucking lolipops, etc you are just getting a new addiction.

I never smoked weeds and I have stopped smoking cigar.
I started by making myself busy with something else hanging out with my friends and reading or watching a lot of anime at home.

I never smoked, but people who smoke told me that quitting smoking is not as easy as it sounds. As far as I understand, it's like when you really want to eat a cake, when you are on a diet, but 10 times harder.

Does he smoke inside the house?

My brother is a hard-headed guy, we are becoming secondhand smokers with the smoke that he's spewing out of his mouth since we're all living in one house currently.

I now understand the struggle of the ones that are into smoking and it's not that easy to quit. Even how hard you will explain to them, it won't come to an instant quit.

Very few have the strength to quit smoking. I have never smoked because I am very careful with my body, but I sell cigarettes for extra money, and although I do not smoke, my colleagues do, and it is unpleasant not to smoke and be in an environment of pure cigarette smoke. I have a friend who, when I don't carry cigarettes, produces a lot of anxiety and despair, why does that happen? I think that if someone wants to control their anxiety, they can do it in a healthy way, I do it through exercise, I don't go to the gym, I just download a Google Play application and with that I train, I feel good, and with more strength. And without damaging my body.

I agree that smoking is not a good habit and that it is very harmful to health (not only yours, but the next generation (your children)). But in fact, there are a lot of bad habits. Just watch TV, shows, movies - debauchery everywhere (immorality, alcohol, cigarettes, drugs, etc.).
Therefore, we need not to ban smoking, but to explain to people what this leads to, we need to show people that everything depends on each other. Because at the moment we live in a non-healthy society (in every sense), because we ourselves make our society like that.

Gladly, right now, there is a sign in the public area that is showing smoking is prohibited, but there is a smoking area that can be used for people who still smoke. And I see now the young generations choose vapour than smoke. They thought that vapour is not dangerous to the smoke. But vapour can get another trouble for them because I heard that the liquid is dangerous for the human body.

Mainly due to social influences and the nature addictivity of nicotine. Grandpas have to smoke due to war or hard labor back in the days.

Mine was a heavy smoker too, sadly he passed due to pneumonia and a smoking-related disease.

In my opinion he has done a lot of good because it is very good for your health. If you don't have too much trouble quitting then why do we smoke? I hate it so much we should all stop smoking.

It's not my habit but i see this situation very bad more girls take smoking with sigarate but really i hate smoker. This is bad side in our health so we need avoid always.

He did the right thing. The temptation gets pretty strong during the withdrawal phase (thankfully not as bad as drugs), and good thing he has a strong will.

When his baby was born, he decided to quit smoke on that day directly until now. He only said if you want to quit smoke, you just quit. No matter if it's hard, you should not try to smoke again. The hardest part is the first 7 days, but after that, it's not too difficult. He proves that to other families member.

Did he quit cold turkey or gradually reduce the number of cigs smoked?

I think 10 people who tried to stop smoking, only one or two-person who can stop smoking. The rest of them will feel difficult to stop because smoking makes people addicted, and that needs a strong mind to stop. But I know someone who is my uncle says that when his child born, he said to himself that he must stop smoking. Otherwise, he cannot stop in the future, and he doesn't want his kids to see his daddy smoke in front of them. And yes, he did quit smoking until now, and it's been 23 years since he stopped smoke.

and be with people that is not smoking as well,because the more you see people smoking near you is the more you are eager to smoke again.that is one way of helping yourself from quitting totally,or much better not to involved in cigarettes all your life.

Chewing gums also help with anxiety/ nervousness so that's a plus.

And it's still way healthier than nicotine pads.

There are no benefits for smoking, and if we talk about its harms, among them is that smoking causes aging and early impotence and leads to death, Also, smoking harms the smoker and the people near him. the resolve and determination can help anyone stop smoking and get rid of nicotine. Only we can replace this bad habit by playing sports, eating fruits, vegetables, nuts, and eating sugar-free gum to keep your mouth busy.

Yes its true,sometimes even them to blackout because or nervousness so it is not advisable to quit completely if you are seriously addicted to it.

It is not so easy to quit smoking.
It is true that you have to create new habits but when someone doesn't smoke this have a direct impact to his behavior - making him nervous etc which can only be tackled by him with smoking.

That was my problem before as well I didn't really want to quit smoking, you really have to make that turn around in your mind Where you say I am not a smoker anymore and really quit.


I think so to my dad used to smoke as well and quit before me but instead of smoking he replaced it with vaping with nicotine as well, there are already news stories comming out where long docters are warning about the dangers of vaping, and the people who visit them increase because of it.
I am like if you quit smoking just quit it totally dont vape.


Exactly when my mom was pregnant with me at 28 she smoked as well and she just instantly quit and never smoked again I hope I can do the same thing


It is really hard to stop smoking indeed, but I think you definitely need a create a strong mindset to stop smoking, your mind does control when you smoke and you can stop it with your mind.


It is a routine for sure, I used to smoke after every dinner that was one of the best cigarettes, sometimes i would even wake up and smoke one before I did anything else.
Before I went to bed as well, when you are waiting for the train or bus, when your drinking alcohol , you create these moments where you are used to smoking and you like it a lot! You need to break the habbits and the best thing is indeed to replace them with something else Working out or eating fruit would be a healthy replacement

Glad you did that,but IMHO it is not possible for everyone to stop smoking completely on a particular day.If the try to do they can last long for a week but after that I bet they will smoke again.So my suggestion will be stop gradually.If you are smoking 10 cigarettes per day then try to make 5 every day for couple of months then reduce it to half and at one day you can stop completely.

i am happy because your husband come to that very hard time quitting and as what you said he succeeded ?if he really does?i might suggest or advise him to not even try Vaping because Like cigarettes ?this chemically formulated smoking is really not good to our health and also has a chance of having accidents,you can watch in youtube about how this machine explode and also once a quitter will never find any diversion just to justify his needs of having smoke in his mouth.i can say this because i am a quitter that you can read above you mys tory.

Base on my husband's experience quitting to smoke is hard because it became a routine everyday, he used to it and started when he was still in highschool. However after suffering from his illness it became an eye opener for him to stop, its not easy but he managed to overcome it. Well he totally quit smoking but now he tried vaping, so far it has no bad effect to him and I think its better because you can choose 0 nicotine e-juice.

easy way to avoid smoking is to replace it with other habits and avoid going to the place where used to smoke , make your bad habits difficult to reach , like don't carry money while going out

I ask some of my friends, why they don't stop smoking. They said that it is so difficult to stop smoking because they don't know how to stop. Some say that we need to have a strong mind that will always tell our body not to try smoke, but on the other side, our mind will not have the power to stop the habit. Maybe when the time for them is coming, they will stop by themselves.

Smoking is a very harmful ingredient in the health aspect that often turns us into cancer and puts us to death. That's why we should all stay away from smoking. I hate it so much and people have to give up the habit of taking time each day in confidence so that they can't stop something in one day.

I completely agree with that.
In addition, we all want to live in a constructive healthy and progressive society, where there are no diseases, deception and all the bad manifestations of society. But at the same time, we ourselves do nothing for this. Although you can just start with yourself. And if you change yourself, you will change the whole world!
In addition, imagine how many people around will be inspired by your example. In this case, you can even be proud of yourself that you did something really good. The main thing is not to stop only at the fact that you stopped smoking, because there are so many things that can be changed for the better in our lives (negative thinking, poor diet, mess at home, in the family, etc.)

i can feel you mate,though i am not a Weed lover but i am a smoker in which i can take 2-5 packs of cigarettes each day depend on occasion ,because if i am drinking alcohol?i smoke more than what i take each day.

there comes a time that i am lighting my next cigarettes from the last so you know what i mean?

but there comes a time that one day?after years of struggling to stop but i cant?when i woke up in the morning?i just decide to take my last cigarettes crumble it and flushed in toilet and Boom,i stopped smoking and now?its been almost 4 years since i light my last cigar.

hope those wanted to quit?just quit instantly and dont give any date to do it,because the more you think of stopping the eager you want to smoke.

I cannot stop smoking, i have been started on 11 yr. 2001 i try to stop smoking. I don't want to quit smoking.

Actually, the addiction from smoking is the same as your addiction to gambling. so finally it has made the needs that must be met. all these factors can only be stopped from one's own intentions and not because of other things especially from peer appeals. usually it will not be very successful and the chances are very small. it's all back from that person who wants to change.

Doing it gradually is the best way to stop i used to smoke 1 complete package every day then decreased it to half a package a day until i reached 1 cigarette per day stayed at that rate for a month or so then completely stopped

It's all a matter of will, I smoked a package every day and left it without problems when my son was born

I believe that vaping is more damaging than smoking cigarettes, and it is also anti-social. I hate it when some weak willed person is blowing clouds over everybody nearby.

Chewing gum is a pretty vacuous habit, and if the chewing gum contains nicotine, then it can led to gum disease.

I've been using vape pods since December 30 last year, and I've stopped smoking completely now. Besides that, I also want to stop using pods, there is still a little push to use every day. I doubt whether pods also have opiate nature.

Chewing gum is always not healthy for your body.
It is indeed a better solution than smoking cigarettes and weed. I used to consume a lot of chewing gums and I spent a lot of money.

Hi buddy, I have a suggestion for you to get used to chewing gum to replace cigarettes 

I used to smoke a lot of Weed and Cigarettes everyday, I would spend 20 euro every 2 days on it.
The thought to stop smoking was always there, but the enjoyment I would get out of it was greater then the will to stop smoking.

Untill last summer (more then 4 month's ago now) I chose a date 1 Sept and just quit smoking weed and cigarettes that day.
It has been going well sometimes I still crave to smoke weed especially when I meet people that I used to smoke weed with.

If u want to quit I have a few tips for you:
Choose a date to quit, and announce it to people around you.
Download apps on your phone to help you quit (I used Flamy) but I am sure there are others.
Calculate how much money you are spending on your smoking and think about how much you couldve invest in Crypto and think how rich you would have been 
Stop seeing people around you that smoke and find a replacing thing to do.
Instead of smoking eat fruits.

If u need any help you can always Pm me and we can stop smoking togheter
