And another help thread. I have noticed in life that a lot of people just do not know how to do certain things. This is because they weren’t taught a lot of times.
So ask how to do anything here. Need to tie a tie? Need to plunge a toilet? Don’t know how to budget? Nothing is too insignificant. Don’t be embarrassed, either. We are all friends here.
IF YOU ANSWER A QUESTION- make sure to tag the person who asked. You can answer with your own experience OR link to a tutorial, video tutorial, or website with the answer. You can also copy info and paste it in.
I am hoping to make the forum even more supportive and help everyone in their daily life. Sz and sza is hard enough, let’s make it a little easier.
A good way to start quitting is to change your smoking habits. Identify what you do when smoking. Then stop having a cigarette during thise times. Like… if you smoke with coffee start cutting out smoking with coffee. Just have your cuppa. Quit smoking after eating right away.Eventually these triggers will no longer trigger the desire to smoke.
Another method is to buy pipe tobacco and roll your own cigs. The pipe tobacco has less nicotine. It is easier to quit once you get used to these. Plus rolling takes time, so you will smoke less.
When you have a cig craving, drink a cup of water before smoking. Wait a few minutes, then smoke. It can help short circuit the craving.
You can also switch to vaping. Start out by replacing a cigarette with 10 minutes of vaping. Do this for your main smoke breaks.
@latenightsurfer, I quit smoking a few years ago. The first day, I had as many cigarettes as I wanted, but I counted every one of them. For the next week, I had 1 less cigarette than on the first day. Then the next week, I smoked 2 less cigarettes per day and so on until I had my last cigarette
I quit Cold Turkey and went through withdrawal symptoms. I was having problems breathing and had to quit ASAP. The withdrawal symptoms eased up after a month and were gone completely after two or three months.
@anon1517417 try orange vinegar. I make it by putting a bunch of organge peels in a big jar. Cover with white vinegar. Let sit a few weeks. Pour out vinegar to fill a spray bottle and use like any other cleaner.
