I have to quit smoking on Monday

[FatMama]

Food for the kids is far more important than cigarettes so I guess I have no choice. I hate being broke.

I am not sure what I’d do if I had dependents. I smoke a lot and I enjoy it.

Probably a good thing to quit if you need the money.

It’s very expensive in the UK. I buy rollies as they’re cheaper. A pack of 20 is about £11

[FatMama]

They are $14 Canadian for a 20 pack here. Crazy prices.

I only smoke proper cigarettes if I am on holiday.

In some EU countries a pack is about £3.50

Rollies are a cheaper way to smoke here. 50g of tobacco is about £18, and you can get it for £9 if you get people to buy it from duty free at the airports.

A pouch of tobacco lasts me 3/4 days where a pack of 20 I smoke in less than a day

I hope this helps y’all.

You can do it.

DNA's theory of cigarette addiction and method to quitting smoking

I’ve been a smoker for 10 years and a user of NRT for 4 years. I’m about a week free of the NRT’s The theory of cigarette addiction There’s 3 aspects that make cigarettes addicting; 1. Holding the cigarette 2. The throat hit you get from the cigarette 3. ‘The craving’ The craving is essentially just nicotine withdrawal. The method to quitting smoking The NRT route allows you to get rid of; 1. Holding the cigarette 2. The throat hit you get from the cigarette And you’re essentially left with just the craving. You’re more than halfway on the journey to quitting now. Once you get rid of the craving, (which is hard af) you’re going to face physical withdrawal (sweats, tremors…

Not nearly expensive enough when you factor in public health care costs, I’m certain. Should be $50/pack.

[ThePickinSkunk]

Do you have a local food bank to shore up any costs? I’m not encouraging you to keep smoking but just an idea…you probably thought of that though.

[FatMama]

I used to but if I don’t smoke anymore I’ll be able to buy more groceries.

After a few months of quitting smoking you’ll also start to feel amazing. Your sense of taste and smell come back. Your energy level goes up, your lung capacity really comes back. It’s awesome and something to look forward to.

Oh, and you’ll have more $$$.

Trust me, smokers hear this stuff all the time.

They have to want to quit themselves.

They have to want to quit themselves.

I kind of quit due to financial pressures. Like being homeless and trying to rescue food out of the garbage cans at the food fair at the mall without being caught by security. No ciggy budget, eh?

[DNA]

Lol.

I’m not gonna lie and say one of my reasons wasnt financial, but for me it was more learned toward the cravings.

I just got tired of craving it in the mornings, and the periods of depression that swept between each fix.
