In order to quit smoking you really need to want to.
Else don't even bother.
Best way to get off smoking is to start vaping.
Get two high drain 18650 batteries, a quality charger, a dripping atomizer and a mechanical or regulated device.
Actually vaping can be much more fulfilling than smoking, whether you are looking for a nice flavor or a nicotine high.
Building and wicking coils yourself, mixing glycerin with flavoring to produce your own blend, as well as maintaining your equipment clean, are part of keeping your mind interested and occupied when it comes to getting your fix which in my opinion is key.
Nicotine absorption is much more efficient and you end up ingesting less of it when you find your sweet spot.
Then you must replace smoking with vaping in activities that are linked with the smoking addiction, (like when waking up, or during coffee, or after lunch, or after sex, when having a drink, etc.)
Then before you know it, you won't be craving cigarettes any more as the psychological addiction would have been cured. After that you can either continue vaping or slowly stop vaping as well. Some people keep vaping just flavoring and drop the nicotine completely.
If you stop vaping, keep your vaping equipment around, because triggering a smoking habit in the future due to unforeseen events, is highly probable.
That's anecdotal information of course, but works for me and a lot of other people it seems.
- tlarkworthy 11y agoI second this. I swapped quite successfully to vaping. I prefer it now, and even occasionally I get drunk and smoke real cigarettes, only to drop them the next day in favor of vaping. Those kind of 'accidents' were the trigger to start smoking again in all previous attempts to give up smoking. I genuinely prefer vaping now. I am in no hurry to give that up either as it's not particularly bad for you (comparatively).
- kenOfYugen 11y agoYeah, being a happy drunk and not smoking a cigarette is tough, and 'accidents' do happen. For me that's the toughest part of the psychological addiction to drop completely. But it's fine, like you, I get back to vaping when I sober up in the morning.
- fallinghawks 11y agoI've been vaping for over 2 years now. I transitioned for maybe a week or two, then went on a vacation where I deliberately left the cigarettes behind. When I came back I lit up a cigarette and put it out immediately -- it tasted awful in comparison to the e-cigarette and gave me nausea. I still love the smell of a cigarette but have zero desire to light one up. I'm not sure what would happen if I tried to stop vaping, whether I would go through the nausea/vomiting to start smoking tobacco again. (I know it sounds crazy, but nicotine is a powerful drug.) I mix my own juice and build coils, and it costs about 80 cents a day instead of the $3 I would pay for my previous half-pack of cigarettes a day.
