I feel the same way about nicotine pouches. I think they’re ok in moderation. If you smoke a pack a day I can see wanting to quit.
Probably the worst addiction there is. More potent than narcotics.
I stopped smoking officially when I became a parent. So 13 years ago. However. Its still something I crave each and every day. Before the new stupid tobacco rules came in, once in a blue moon I could spend £2.50 and get a tiny 6g pouch of tobacco and smoke a rollie or two to get it out of my system. Then Id feel revolted and not do it again for another year. Cant do that now due to set weights of tobacco pouches and cigarette boxes, and I cant justify a minimum of £10.
When I become more unwell and Im given heavier PRN meds for a longer period, I may fall to vaping for a few weeks. And thats far worse than cigarettes in my view, as far as money-wastage and addiction goes.
Whats the awful reality? Nicotine helps boost the particular dopamine receptors in our brain that help with our reward mechanisms, that our wonderful meds otherwise unintentionally suppress. This is why many of us smoke, because the quickest way of nicotine delivery is via smoking or vaping. It can actually help us. What a dreadful Catch-22!

I enjoy a cigarette but I smoke rolling backy. I gave up for 3 years and it made no difference to schizophrenia. Everyone is is different though. I did save money when I quit but everyone I know smokes and I had to avoid going round their houses, so I just smoked again. I like golden Virginia, I enjoy a cigarette with coffee.
The oldest man to live smoked cigarettes and also one of the oldest woman to live smoked cigarettes, go figure lol

The wife’s Grandad lived to 90, and smoked a big pouch of Golden Virgina every single day since his 20s. Never had a “smoking related” complication.

Once I was playing poker with some friends, I got dealt 2 7. I wanted to play the hand for the laughs, and started betting very aggresive. Little did I know one of the guys had pocket aces. But I flopped a full house!
This is not an example to follow.

What brand do you smoke?
Can anyone tell me the difference between pipe tobacco and cigarette tobacco? Is it worse or something?
I know it’s cheaper for me to do it myself now. Probably less additives lol.

Trying again…
All I can say…
After having restored my health after 2 years withdrawal of a very toxic combination of psychotropic I lowered my amount of ciggs from 90 a day to 40 a day. I have now 2 month aniversary for lowering the amount of ciggs. The tricks is that Im using pastils and mild Nicoline gum.I dont want to quit cause I like to smoke. If I wanted to quit I could because thats much easier than stopping a very habbitforming psychotropic.
That is a crazy amount to smoke dude.

At my worst I was smoking a pack of Marlboro ultra lights a month.
I tried Chantix, it’s interesting because it just kind of blocks the good feelings you get from nicotine, or attempts to, but I ultimately found more luck in just multiple cold turkey attempts, one of which finally worked one week when I had a particularly low stress stretch of time.
Im going to try again, im going to try hard
One day or day one
