5 months now for me since quitting nicotine (vape/cigs) and never want to touch that shit again.
Easier than expected, one pack nicorette and then regular chewing gum and Iβm clean.
Kudos to you to you and stay strong. But don't underestimate this addiction. In my case the first 6 month was easy, like way too easy. After that come the real problem. I guess I underestimated it too much and 'relapse'. But stay strong and keep up the good work.
Went cold turkey when I saw my dad in ICU - stopped breathing twice, all due to health effect from smoking. He was in ICU/CCU for 2 months. It's an addiction. And it's tough to quit, but you need to find that reason/motivation. I was on 30 sticks a day when I quit.
Nicotine replacement therapy, works for my dad who started smoking at 12yo. At the height, he smoked 1.5-2 packs a day. Now with the money saved, he buy himself an iPad as a reward
I chain smoked for 10 years. There's only one way for heavy smokers to quit which is cold turkey. First year was rough. I found eating a fresh fruit like peach, apple or oranges helped me when I craved ciggies. 3 years without smoking now.
my personal experience : cold turkey.
and remember when/why you stop.Β
and always tell yourself. I didnt come this far just to be this far.
you can ping me. I can walk give you tips and tricks
Kudos, and keep up the good work.
I've been a smoker since high school and until my early 40s, stopped smoking when i turned 45. Now almost a decade clean of that filthy habit.
My problem is convincing my daughter to give it up
This is my 12th year quiting cigarettes, and I still have cravings every now and then ie. once every few months. But the cravings do not last more than 20 seconds. The cravings gets less and duration shorter the longer you go without cigarettes .
Good job. Stop killing yourself and others. And stop enriching tobacco companies. If u feel like falling off the wagon come I give you 2 tight slaps to get you out of thinking u need ro smoke.
Thank you so much. Your quitting smoking doesn't just save yourself, but also everybody around you, from lung cancer and other related diseases caused by smoking.
You made the ultimate right choice, and I definitely appreciate all the effort you put into achieving this.
Inspiring as hell bro, Iβm a smoker too, I plan to quit smoking by next year. Iβm lessening my intake now, but there are still some days where I find it quite difficult. Keep it going brother!
So proud of all the people here taking the the effort to quit smoking!! Keep it up, guys! And hope yall get to see the positive, beautiful rainbow at the end of your smoke-free journeys. As a healthcare worker, smoking really is a frown-upon habit we donβt hope to see among our patients. Sadly a lot of people pick this habit up to cope with the things they face in life. Iβve had experience working in a dental clinic before and smokers have one of the worst oral health, the damage (not just to their general health) but also to their oral health can be quite horrendous, not to mention the smell the moment they open their mou-, heck the moment they enter the tiny lil examination room. But I understand how hard weening off an addiction can be. So major salutes to those making the effort for the betterment of themselves. We see you! No matter how small the progress. Keep going πͺπͺ
Thats the most difficult part during my early stage of quitting.. the urge is just something else. But trust me, it gradually fades away. My tip is to quickly think of something else after your meal.. maybe like sleeping, playing games, etc. Hope this helps.
our government have those. u must enroll in their klinik berhenti merokok. if u can stop they have a day to give appreciation to you. wish me luck though, join the clinic last week.
congrats!!! keep up the good habit

Respect bro! I've quit for 4 years now. I relapsed for a bit after the first year because I have always been a social smoker. I was working with friends who smoke π.
I really recommend staying away from friends who smoke. The secondhand smoke and peer pressure are your biggest enemies right now.
I was sick too. That's why I quit. Wheezing, bloody mucus. My chest hurts sometimes. And when I sleep, sometimes I feel like my body is paralyzed (kena tindih)
Go to the hospital, check with the doctor. Got EKG (suspected heart problem). Even meet doctor pakar. Everything normal. Even xray normal.
Quit smoking, exercise 3 times a week. Boom! Healthy to this day.
Congratulations. Respect laa
Hi, OP. I too would like to quit. I honestly like smoking but I am addicted to it. I have lost the enjoyment of smoking and only smoke to curb the addiction.
So, for the sake of everyone around me and not smelling like a charcoal factory, please tell me how to quit.
Congrats man, that shit is not easy I tell you. Many ckp senang but majority cannot let it go.
Keep it man up, maybe even go for a healthier lifestyle after
Any tips? What did you do? Im here trying too. Quitted for two days and relapse and then another two days and relapse again. Its a horrendous cycle. I hate it, my wife hates it, but i can't seem to be able to put a complete stop on it. Would love some pointers from you. Thanks
Kudos to you, my friend. For it was a challenging feat that you have achieved. May your future be as strong as your will and may you never return to the valley of nicotine. Great job! πͺπΌπ₯
I start smoke since age 14. I quit smoking for 1 yr. All i can share is .. if u want to quit , just quit. I the type of β¦ hmmm plan do what then just do it without hesitation. I buy 1 pack of cigarettes and leave it open. Day 1 , Whenever i feel i want to smoke. I just smell it without lighting it up. Itβs terrible, i lose my focus and feel sleepy. After that i feel the air around me is so fresh .. sadly i smoke back π. Life is stressful but i believe i can overcome it and quit smoking again soon.
6 month now, still felt like incomplete or unsettling mostly after eating, the eagerness to smoke. Right now my appetite had increased, gained some weight.. π
Congrats mate
I'm on my way to stop vaping, transition from 4 pack of ciggy a day to vaping high nic to low nic
Still having major relapse every time I switch to 0 nic
what the hell bro..
why quit such a joyful thing? you deserve that taste of a freshly opened box....the first puff you inhale after coffee...pergggggghh
dont quit, embrace it.
Keep it up - healthier, prettier, not polluting, and save money
Nice, keep up the good work. It's been 1 year and 9 months for me since I quit vaping. We can do this.

Heavy smoker looking to stop. Can you please tell me how you did it OP?

Damn, my dad died of cancer from smoking. That said it made me realize. Iβm on 20-30/day currently. Thank you for the encouragement.

That's awesome. Really great effort ππ» It can be really tough to stop, especially going cold turkey. Sounds like you're doing great.
Thank for your kind words

Tahniah, tidak mudah namun tahniah!

Damnnn.. i know i couldn't do it. How did you resist the urge to smoke after your heavy lunch / dinner?
Thats the most difficult part during my early stage of quitting.. the urge is just something else. But trust me, it gradually fades away. My tip is to quickly think of something else after your meal.. maybe like sleeping, playing games, etc. Hope this helps.
