My husband and I quit cigarettes four years ago,

We both still want a cigarette from time to time.

I think it’ll be like that for life.

Sucks.

I haven’t smoked in decades but once in a while in my dreams I’m smoking a cigarette.

The urge never really goes away.

But it arises once in a blue moon.

yea i understand, i thought the urge goes away but it doesnt. it gets easier when time goes by.

I never think about smoking anymore. I’ve been nicotine free since 2016

I think you’ll always be craving for as long as your body is addicted to nicotine and all vaping does is replace the nicotine in a healthier way.

I gave up in 2004 and don’t ever crave cigarettes. I find the smell disgusting now. After the first few weeks of physical addiction craving it is the psychological addiction that brings people back.

That familiarity in having given up on life and not caring about living will always bring the ‘smoker’ to the yard.

lekkerhondje · February 13, 2021, 4:43pm

oe1489 · February 13, 2021, 5:34pm

lekkerhondje · February 13, 2021, 5:35pm

lekkerhondje · February 13, 2021, 5:38pm

anon68444330 · February 13, 2021, 5:43pm

Same🙂… but i never wanted to smoke in 10 years

I was spending $300 a month on cigarettes.

I’ve been vaping for 6 months. It cures my craving for cigarettes. It was hard to find a flavor I liked.

My mom is 62 and has lung cancer. I’m 44 and they found 2 growths in my lungs. They said they were 2mm too small to be considered cancer and to come back for another screening next year.

I smoked for 30 years.
