each time you dont give in it gets a little easier and soon not smoking becomes a habit. YOu only have to get by the next craving.

I was traveling in Tibet 20 yrs ago.. last time I Smoked also

A monk came up to me and said he sensed I was having trouble with an aspect of my life. I confided in him, I had been trying to stop smoking for some time. He then gave me the answer to the problem.
He said, I guarantee this will work my son, it has never failed. Just don’t light the dayam thing.

Give up on nicotine too (cold turkey, no substitute), or just give up cigarettes specifically (i.e. but may vape, or dip)??

Awesome...good luck with it. Main thing is watch it when drinking...that was always my crutch point it became really hard when I tried. I vape nowadays, so at least off actual cigarettes.

Hang in there pal. I did it 21 years ago the 25 of this month. Hardest thing I ever did. Keep your mind occupied and stay away from those who smoke for at least a week. Pray and God will give you strength.

13 years ago. Cold turkey. 1 to 1-1/2 packs/day. I spent 12 years as a smoker but I was determined not to come home off of my second deployment as a smoker. Chewed the heck out some sunflower seeds for a couple of months but I made it. Hang in there. You’re stronger than the urge to smoke.

Dropped it 7 years ago after smoking for 15. Believe that like others have said, it does get easier.

17 years +. Best thing I ever did. I would likely be dead now otherwise. Don't give up. If you fail, keep trying.

I promise you, get hold of some grapefruit juice. Everytime you get a craving drink some of the juice.
It really worked for me. Nobody wants a smoke after grapefruit juice. I smoked for 40 years.
Now I only use crack...and heroin...but no smokes! Yay me!!!

In truth it takes a lot of willpower & you're doing the right thing!
ON A SIDE NOTE
Don't bring any to the GSU game. By the 4th you'll be chain smoking.
You know, nerves & all.

Sounds. I see a Little Debbie's addiction in your future, diabetes, and 300 lbs. Butt hey you quit smoking with one good lung, bad breath, and two teeth left so good for you. Oatmeal cakes are soft so you can gum them down. At least you didn't get cancer. Congratulations survivor.
