I can still remember the heat from the cigarette reaching my right cheek. Over 50 years of lighting up, I figure it was hand to mouth for at least 365,000 cigarettes.

I wish I could quit

I used to imagine what it would look like if every one I ever smoked was piled in a big mountain
Glad I quit

I’m 4 and a half months without a cigarette. I quit August 2nd.
I still have the urge to smoke, but it gets better with each passing week.

Oh my, that’s a great way of thinking about it.
I’d imagine, 15 years, at least a pack a day, some days two. That’s a good 30 average a day.
That’s 164,205.
Darn……

Not counting smokes I bummed off other people.
There are some X factors involved.

I use snus, supposed to be healthier way to get nicotine. I started smoking in 10th grade and quit in 12th grade or something. Used snus on and off ever since.
I quit a 30 year cigarette habit a few months ago and vaped…now I’m quitting the vape, just about a week ago, using the patch, nicotine gum, and chewing on a cinnamon stick. Wish me luck!

I’ve been vaping for probably over a year now. I feel a lot better than when I was on cigs. I haven’t really considered quitting vaping. It does get old though always sucking on that thing.
I could have saved 2,63,800 ₹

Yeah. I smoked 25 years of my life and it was amazing to finally let go of it.
Missed it probably first two years after but knew if I had one I’d be sick but then I had 10 I’d be a hopeless addict again.
It’s a dumb chemical anyways. Get off it how you can. I found the medical way very easy and nicotine replacement did nothing for me…I’d get to where my body sucked out all the nicotine from the patches and I’d smoke half a pack…this was a while ago now. 2009.
Seriously. Nicotine’s benefits for concentration and all that is soon lost to it’s horrible addictice properties where the gains are lost simply from feeding the addiction and the withdrawal is horrible for most. Too many still defend it as a cognitive enhancer around here but imho it’s a nasty chemical with poor health outcomes even for sz.

I have completed my first week cold turkey.
I liked vaping the strongest juice out there for a year. It is frowned upon by my parents and my worries of lung issues made me stop.
I felt the heat on my lips when I would take a long drag it got hot.

I’ve smoked for 40 years. Most of the time I smoked over 40 cigs a day. Lately I’ve not smoked more than 30 a day with the help of nicotine gum.

I quit and I’m so glad. My asthma is much more controlled now. My lungs were so unhealthy that when I got pneumonia I ended up in the hospital on oxygen. Then I had to do 6 weeks of pulmonary rehab. So I quit smoking and am much stronger and healthier now.

I had a 3 - 5 cigarette a day habit for about a year and a half when I was in the army. I am so glad I was able to quit.
