Good luck STC. I quit cigarettes after about 10 years when I was 28 years old but I started with Red Man chewing tobacco.
I kept that up for 10 years until my youngest daughter was born in 1996. Quitting the chewing was the hardest by far.
I always said when I quit, that when I get old (which is now, 65) that I would chew again, but I think I was gag and throw up if
I tried to chew. Hang in there.

cut back, wean off, drug induced assistance.... Malarky, just quit, never have that only one hit, puff, cigg.... It is going to suck, very bad for a couple of weeks. Then the chemical dependance is gone. The only thing left to fight is your feelings and own mental weakness. Stay strong. See my sig-line Quitting smoking is not easy. |

It's easy to quit. May be hard to believe but I got hypnotized. It was the best 40 dollars I ever spent. 25 years ago and have never even thought about smoking again. I am around people every day smoking even in my truck, and have no desire to smoke. Go figure

 I had a patient that had been a heroin addict for 20 years. He told me it was easier to quit heroin than cigarettes. He still smoked. Unfiltered Camels. |

Yes stc hang in there. If you can do 9, you can do 18. Just like eating an elephant - one bite at a time.

View AttachmentI had a patient that had been a heroin addict for 20 years. He told me it was easier to quit heroin than cigarettes. He still smoked. Unfiltered Camels. I was told the exact same thing by a doctor that was trying to help an acquaintance that I drove to the VA for years. Cigarette smoking is harder to stop than opioid addiction. Good luck! |

I dated a girl in high school. He mom would carry a Mason jar with about 2 inches of water in it. To quit she flipped all her ashes in sank the butt from every cigarette she cheated with in that jar. If she craved one and wanted to cheat her rule was to open the jar and take 3 deep huffs before she could light one. It took her about a week of nearly puking before she quit
