Members guitardustin Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Echo have you looked into heroin? It goes right into your veins and doesn't affect your lungs at all. 0% of heroin users die of cancer, just other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members onyxrhino Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I tried to quit with the e-cigarettes. Thought I could step down gradually. That method never worked for me. They were handy to have in hotel rooms on trips and places where I couldn't usually smoke though. Finally quit just going cold turkey. Never thought I could do it, but it's alot easier than it seems. You just have to be committed to saying "Well, I'm going to go through hell, but it's a limited kind of hell, I can still do other fun stuff, and it's only for a limited time, maybe 3-6 months and I'll feel fine, and in the grand scheme of things, that's no time at all." Worked for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members humancertainty Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I don't have a recommendation as I quit cold turkey after 21 years(one year anniversary on December 5!). I will say, however, that I have a few friends who succeeded with them. Whatever method you choose, best of luck. I still miss smoking very much, but I am so glad I stopped.

Members t-rey Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 Cold turkey really is the way to go. I tried with the gum once, which only increased my dependance on nicotine. So I kept smoking for a bit, then just quit. Got down to 2-3 a day, then only smoked when I was drinking for a bit, then just stopped doing that (the indoor smoking ban in NC really helped out with that).

Members LSDis4me Posted November 29, 2012 Members Share Posted November 29, 2012 I just smoked a lot of weed Weed is often a gateway drug OUT of harder addictions. Some additional strategies for successfully quitting smoking include giving yourself rewards, both short term (perhaps daily or weekly) and longer term (a month, 6 months). Utilize your desire for particular things, such as gear, and use it as an incentive that you won't buy a particular thing until X number of days passes. Slips and relapses are often tied to negative emotions, so have a plan to more effectively deal with these situations. For some people, cold turkey works, for others, warm turkey (a step down approach). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
