I give it a new try to quit smoking today

I’ve already thrown everything away, tobacco, stuffing and filter sleeves and lighters. The only motivation behind this is that I can afford something again. But let’s just see half an hour without cigarettes. But my room smells reasonably, used air freshener and opened the window and door. It would be so nice without cigarettes, I’ll do my best. I’ll keep you up to date.

I had to use a nicotine patch to quit smoking. It worked though. I hope you can do it. I’m rooting for you.

I used patch too 24/7. Then downgraded every month. In the first days drinking a glass of water relieved me of the urge to smoke

I once used a nicotine patch too. But it did not work. So I quit cold turkey now.

I keep that in mind to drink a glass of water. Already have one ready.

If your attempt goes sour, I recommend gum or vaping. I successfully went from cigarettes to gum to vaping.

Good luck. Cold turkey from tobacco works for some people (Including my brother).

Okay I relapsed. It was really horrible, I guess I save up some money for a vape. That´s a shame on the first day. Now I feel a lot better with cigarettes. Damn, I am weak.

SZ and SZA are usually smokers as it helps them with cognition, and to some extent, positive symptoms.

Don’t declare yourself weak. I’m not advocating the use of nicotine, but there are forms such as gums and vapes, which IMO, provide the benefits (and there are) of nicotine.

Good for you, I hope you can find a way to kick the habit. don’t get discouraged by lapses. And most importantly don’t rule out methods that didn’t work in the past. Situations change, and you may find sometime in the future that a method that didn’t work for you now, might work under the right circumstances.
