Do you smoke

Do you smoke cigarettes or cigars. I hear many people with schizophrenia smoke because it slightly helps with positive symptoms. I smoke cigars often and cigarettes every now and then.

I quit smoking cigarettes two months ago,

But I started vaping,

So I haven’t really given up nicotine, just the smoke.

This September will be 10 years without a smoke after a pack a day habit from 14 to 39 or so. Best thing I ever did for my health was give up. That and taking psych meds.

Truly. Don’t start.

This October, it will be 4 years since I’ve had a cigarette. I smoked for over 50 years and I regret it. I am on oxygen now and am really having to work hard to become a deep, healthy breather.

I quit dipping in May after 23 years. I was doing pretty well without nicotine. But I have to admit I bought a vape and have been using it daily. Nicotine really calms me down. It was a bonehead move. I probably should quit before it gets out of hand.

i smoke cigars mostly as just an odd hobby as i enjoy the experience and find it gives me a little time to think things out also it does seem to help some symptoms, no more than 1 a day, some days i dont smoke any, used to smoke cigs but they make me feel bad and cigars dont for some reason

Pack a day here. I want to quit but I enjoy it too much. On shitty days, smoking can be one of the few things to look forward to.

I gave smoking a go without any intention of turning it into a habit. I found it disgusting. The smoke hurt my throat and lungs. So for me it was easy not to take it up as a habit.
