I was a smoker for 13years. Now im 26 years old i finally quit smoking. Trust me bud the first day is only the hardest. once you finish the first day of cessation, the following day is pretty easy. Just put in your head that you are sick. and puffing cigarette will kill you. 8months smoke free now and im loving the result.
Stay strong I was off them for 5 years and git sucked back in for another 3 years of murdering myself. No one including me could believe I would smoke again.
Wearing a heart monitor and have to have an Echo on Friday. Watching this and just smoked my last cigarette that I have. I'm 40 years old and have smoked 27 years. Wish me luck!!
Benefits of quitting: -You feel your breath -Food tastes delicious -increased Appetite -Gaining weight -Better sleep -No guiltiness -Saving time -Saving money -Social life increases -Induction of healthy habits -Enhanced lifestyle -Healthy relationship -No panting -Healthy hair -Healthy skin -Incresed confidence and self pride -Joyful life These are my personal experience of quitting. It's been 6 years since I touched the last butt. I was smoking for 10 years with an average count of 20 pieces a day and 40 pieces at the end of the phase(3 years) Good luck
Woke up like any other day....had 1 cigarette ....no money went scrounging around for change like a fiend still didn't have enough but found a coupon .....had to be at work in like 20 mins ....went to the store and the clerk told me the coupon was expired.....i died inside.... I quit that day 3 days of hell ...tbh looking back really it seemed worse then it was ....felt like world was ending and I was glad ...really sucked but i don't smoke cigarettes anymore smoked for 18 years nice to be done finally
The best mantra: " I don't smoke." "I'm a non-smoker." Helps I think, to push past the transition mindset into the new reality of not being a smoker anymore. Nah, I don't smoke. Feels good hey.
I would always be jealous and genuinely happy for everyone whom I offered a cigarette to and they said "No Thanks no longer a smoker" Today I join them 🎉
I have a video about my journey and it starts with a true desire to quit smoking. The issues I had to go through it’s like I smoked 20years and now I’m realizing how it was mostly hard because we really don’t want to do it.... we like it and it soothes us so the desire to quit is totally necessary and must be strong! Quitting means changing your way of life and actually wanting to be a better version of yourself
@@abdulllahi1482 I’m 18 quitting rn cold Turkey been smoking 3 years and just hate it so much I couldn’t do it no more. Glad I’m quitting rn because my lungs gonna feel so much better in 10 years
It's 14th day since I quit smoking and I feel very good ,No negative thoughts in my mind ,Full of energy and motivation, At first I I thought that is impossible for me to quit weed and cigarette but after trying It get easier day by day ,You just need a good and strong reason to quit
I’m 24 & I’ve been smoking since 15, I’m now finally considering quitting as it makes me feel sick & hurts my throat sometimes. I will stick to vaping for a while though, until I can wane myself off it completely. My Dad had smoking hypnosis & it worked for him, that’s my last resort. My Dad quit smoking 3 years before I was born because he didn’t want me being around cigarette smoke. What a man! One of my many inspirations
@@jamama3 So help strengthen me Lord and cleanse my body, soul, mind and spirit from all lower vibrations that are not for my highest good ,Thank You .Amen
22 years heavy smoker, quit for 35 days today. very difficult. i think the key is to 'get prepared for boredom'. the first few days i felt absolute boredom, nothing to do, what to do now? , something is terribly missing, always want a cigarette, dont want to get up, and life is very meaningless. to be ready to live in this boredom was my biggest helper i believe. it is a war and the weapon that is fighting you and attacking you every day is 'boredom'. you need to be prepared for it, and you wont be able to destroy it, just be ready to face it every day and do not say i give up. it will keep coming every minute probably. no problem, just stand your ground.
Thank you for sharing this is the most truest comment ever. expecting boredom, and like I was missing something. Those same thoughts went through my head.
Great advice. I havnt smoked since May 2019, but it took a heart attack to wake me up and bring me to my senses, never smoked since that day and never will again. I know it's easier said than done to stop, but good luck to all of you that are trying, you can do this xx
The best advice I can give is quit cold turkey…I’ve stopped and relapsed at least 3 times and out of all the replacement therapy i’ve tried,just completely quitting all at once may be most difficult but is in fact also most effective for me.
The nicotine in those kind of products is less addictive than the nicotine in cigarettes overall. This has to do with other chemical compounds that increase the habit forming properties of nicotine. Acetaldehyde is a chemical that increases neurological response to nicotine. It’s formed in cigarette smoke when tobacco additives are burned. Ammonia is intentionally added during cigarette manufacturing because it converts bound nicotine molecules into free molecules which causes an enhanced effect. There’s also MAOIs present that play a roll in increasing nicotine dependency.
For some cold turky is more appropriate, but for most it is very helpful. Even if you are addicted to NRT or vape it is much much better than ciggarettes. I'd much preferto be addicted to NRT than ciggarettes. It's called harm reduction.
Agreed! The only way I could quit was cold turkey. Everything else always led me back to smoking, even when I “cut back” The number eventually always went up again.
You won't believe me me I was 9 since I start smoking now I am 12 I quit smoking because I beat it I always remember me that is not good for me then I force to quit and I finally quit I was samoking everyday please don't let smoking beat you . You are stronger than the cigarettes
I smoked for 8 years (started right before my 15th birthday and quit after my 23rd birthday) and managed to quit cold turkey. I was cigarette free for a little over 4 years and ended up going back to it at the beginning of this year due to my anxiety. Anyway, I'm trying to quit again now. I know I can do it because I did it before, but it's still hard. Wish me luck!
It is very hard to give up smoking and people like you, that take the time to inform and encourage people are amazing. Thank you so much for this video and I shall be using your tips to try and quit. Wish me luck!
20 year old that has been smoking since 17. Bought a pack a few hours ago and smoked 2 cigarettes and decided that it’s time for a change. I decided to crush and throw the pack away and will go cold turkey. I know i can do this and I will. Wish me luck everyone and I’m proud of everybody that has quit.
I quit 7 years ago. Smoked a pack a day for almost 20 years. Marlboro reds. Vaped for a year to help then quit the vape. It was NOT easy but I wanted to quit.
So far smoking hasn't done a whole lot of damage to my health, but it sure hurts my finances. Quitting now won't get any of the money back, but it will save money in the future. That is reason enough to quit smoking for me. Thanks for the information and the video!
Already 4 weeks cigarette free . I have used electric cigarette 1st week 18 mg (full nicotine) capsules 2nd week 12 mg capsules 3rd week 9 mg capsules 4th week 2.5 mg capsules mixing with 0 mg capsules Week 5th will be 0 mg capsules and then exit It’s going great better than what I have expected I have smoked for 16 years and already tried many times to quit but failed In my opinion this is the best way to quit
Starting tomorrow I'm going on my 4th try at quitting smoking for good! I really really want to quit. It's just so hard to break the comforting cycle. I've literally had a mini-stroke before and I still continued to smoke. I feel good about it this time though. I'll find this comment again someday and give a HONEST update.
@@berkenpasbrody I did it! I quit smoking cold turkey the day I originally made this post. I haven't touched one since and never crave them anymore. I'm almost at the 2 month mark(:
I’ve been smoking since I was 11 years old, I am now 30! - I honestly don’t know how I’m ever going to quit now - I feel the only way is cold turkey but really have no clue how I will be able to
Allen Carr's book: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking is a GREAT book. That's how I quit for 6 years. Then I relapsed when my bff got sick and died 4 years ago. It sucks but, I'm gonna quit again. Set a date, read the book and smoke as much as you want til the quit date arrives and you've finished the book. Good luck you got this.👊🏽
If you quit at 15, don't touch another cigarette. If I hadn't picked up another after I quit at 14 when I was 16, I probably would have been able to quit.
I’ve been following you for a while, your channel has grown so much! Congratulations! I’m also a pharmacist making UA-cam videos but currently videos unrelated to pharmacy 🤷🏻♀️
Smoking has got to be more mental than physical when trying to quit because the second I found out I was pregnant with each one of my 3 babies those cigarettes went right in the trash and never picked up again until I finished breastfeeding. I just said to myself your done for a year and that’s it because I never would have been able to live with the guilt. It makes me sick that I was able to toss those cigarettes for my children but I find it so difficult to quit for myself now at 58yo. I want to quit smoking more than ever and I was successful for 4days in the beginning of January but the entire time I couldn’t stop thinking about wanting a cigarette, so day 5 I gave in and went back to it. Psychology and physically I want to be done with smoking forever and never look back, and I am determined to make this happen because I don’t want a heart attack or difficulties with breathing to be the reason I quit, I want to quit before any of those things happen because it’s terrifying to think about and because I have an 18 and 20yr that I need to be around for not to mention future grand babies that I want to be around for. Today is the last cigarette I smoked and the day I’m choosing to quit smoking for good!!!
20 years old trying to quit to go to the army and for my kids so they have a good future see many addictions mess lives up reading the comments tho got me keeping my head up high knowing I can do it
Thankyou so much❤..this is really very essential for this young generation who is trying to get rid of this habit but could not make it happen somehow.But seems like there is a hope.😊
Today i am quiting, that is why I am watching this video. I will not tell anybody that i am quiting because of bad comment like, "hahaha yeah right", "you will not succeed", "for how long you won't smoke?", etc. If I don't quit I woludn't hear comments "i told you, you cannot quit" and so on...
What sucks is I can’t use replacements for nic because I’m under 21 but I used to buy cigarettes legally at 18 so they basically got me addicted then screwed me because they changed the age from 18 to 21 here in CO
I can’t live like this G, I literally just threw out my last two out😭😭! It makes me so emotionally to actually try and find a brand new lifestyle and leave those disgusting things alone🤮🤮🤮
This is my 5th time trying to quit I have been smoking for 50ty years today is day 5 I feel great when I want a smoke I think bout the money in my jar I have been saving 10.00 a day keeps me from wanting to smoke I wish you all good luck in finding your way😊
Im quitting today, ive been smoking 15 years im now 32, my lungs feel so heavy now and breathing is becoming harder especially when doing things, gonna try quit but i fear the damage has already been done 😔
I was a smoker for 8 years straight Now I have quit smoking Trust me guys nobody can motivate u to quit it... It's only you...u can stop urself from smoking. Best of luck
I am a pharmacist also and I am a smoker trying to quit . currently I am using E-cigarettes it is harsh a little bit but I will do my best and I am thinking that bupropion might help ,so I will discuss this with my PCP and I really loved this video
Thank you for the encouraging video.👍 I am using every suggestion out there to prepare for my quit date on Nov 1. Have smoked for 40 years and regret I ever started. Cold turkey isn't for everyone, so I'll be patching since it helped me quit for one year before.
I smoked for 1 year and now I have made up my mind I'm gonna quit smoking 🚬.. This is day 2 of quitting smoking. Wish me luck 🤞 I will never touch again I believe in my mind control A G never let his mind take control over himself. Support me guys I gotta quit by any means
I socially smoke but I’m scared I’m going to get addicted because whenever I’m out with friends or I’m at college I always feel the need to smoke😩I wanna stop before it gets worst
Yes stop now if you can. I started out the same way. Eventually something stressful happened and then I started smoking regularly. Maybe get the gum and just use it in social situations that make you want to smoke.
Someone I love is trying to quit smoking, but he finds that nicotine gum makes him feel sick. He’s only smoking 4-6 cigarettes a day. Can he take half a piece of gum, if he feels it’s too strong?
@59 yrs old in2017 I had a stroke spent 2wks in hospital in Ala. My sister from N Mich.came to get me and take care of me I didnt smoke for 4yrs. Then during the transition of moving out on my own selling my home in the south and buying a trailer in a retirement park in mich haven't been able to quit but want to badlywill work very hard to try and make it happen.
Last time I stopped smoking cigarettes.. I found it was easier for me not to empty the ash trash. I counted how many I had the day before. It took about a month..one cigarette less a day. & also timed how long between. & waited a little longer.. even just butting it out.. Now I'm wanting to stop.. So here I am.. Looking for maybe other ideas & support.
@@AbrahamThePharmacist hey I was 9 since I started smoking Now I am 12 I quit it because it is very bad for us and I trust me I believe in me we are stronger than the cigarettes the cigarettes wants us to die don't support it support you and anyone else you want... (: Btw I am commenting in videos and telling people to quit smoking 7 of them told me that they stop because of me btw nice video even I quit smoke I want to help people to quit
The problem for many of us is psychological. Wanting to smoke because we enjoy it too much. Despite all common sense, wanting to stop and not take it up again. Tried all sorts including hypnotherapy, which was useless (I think more that the hypnotherapist was a quack who mostly left me on a couch with a portable TV which had a decreasing circle spinning around). If they didn't insist on payment up front, I wouldn't have paid and would have left before the half hour was up.
Cold turkey is the best way of quitting smoking and despite what they say it's actually the easiest. Cravings will peak around the 3rd to 5th day. You get past that and use techniques to keep you going you will come out a lot better than people who keep giving their body nicotine. Things that may help. Shopping with someone who can get you past the smoke counter before you buy them. Deep breathing exercises when you would normally smoke to give that often calming feeling smoking gives. Brisk exercise such as fast walking, jogging. It's amazing how much you start to appreciate the damage smoking does when you start removing the build up of gunk in your lungs through coughing and exercise helps that. Using lollipops. Feel like a smoke go outside with your lollipop suck on it as you would the smoke rolling it in your mouth and in between sucks do some breathing deep in through your nose slowly out through your mouth releasing all air. If you really think you will need nicotine products get the spray and only use it if you are close to actually buying them i.e. shopping and you know you can't get past the counter.
I have been smoking from 2011 i quitted in 2016 to 2018 i started again in 2018 now i am unable to quit, i m 33 years male and cardiologist says ur ECG hace few minor changes whixh is due to smoking i need help from you people i am feeling motivated
im surprised the quiz is telling me that i'm not that addicted as i only smoke less than 10 cigarettes in a day. I'm so addicted i try to smoke slower to try to smoke less
It does increase heart rate that might be one of the symptoms that could be related to the anxiety part, I just stopped two days ago it’s really hard 😅 but I have to keep going, the long term health risks aren’t worth it
I quit smoking and I gained 140 pounds. I struggled with diet and exercise but I could not stop the weight from coming on. I went from a slim 135 pounds all the way up to a massive big belly 275. That's right, I more than doubled my former body weight. I got kicked out of the navy for being obese and I lost my military retirement benefits. I developed severe sleep apnea and became a borderline diabetic. I had to give up water skiing and riding my bike. Had I known I was going to get fat like this, you best believe, I'd have never quit smoking. Biggest mistake I ever made. I'd rather get cancer than have to be fat
Its 2:19 pm CST today 812/21. I quit. I haven't had a cigarette today. I'm so tired of not being able to breathe correctly. I'm tired of not having any energy, I'm tired of worrying about my health, I'm tired of spending $300.00 a month I don't have, I'm tired of the smell, the ashes, I'm tired of my teeth always being stained, I'm tired of not resting properly, I'm tired of waking up feeling exhausted, im tired of scheduling my day around my cigarette schedule, I'm tired of not being able to go to certain places because I know people look at me funny because I smell like an ash tray, I'm just F'ng tired of being tired of everything. I want my brain and my life back. Please wish me luck. I've asked God to help me so I know I'll succeed but I'm ask y'all to just be here for me if I need you. Will it be hard? Sure. Am I afraid? Hell no. F! Cigarettes.
Thank u so much well I dont drink but my mother is drinking alot very worried about her so I will say to her to try this but my question is does she need to visit doctors to see if she can use those stuff products waiting for an answer thank u
What is the best type of vape to buy to help I read a little bit I'm sure that you can buy them with nicotine but without all the other stuff from smoking
What my gramps did to quit is he made himself strong coffee anytime he craved a cigarette. After the first month, it got far easier. I'm struggling to quit because it feels as if smoking keeps me going throughout the day.
So u need to find something else that keeps u going through the day. Something u enjoy doing. Listen to a song, go for a walk…it varies for everyone. Only u know what u enjoy. Also, the coffee thing…I quit a few times before and for me, I cannot drink coffee for like a week after I quit because coffee and smoking go together for me. If I have coffee, I really start wanting a cigarette.
What do u do if you quit smokeing but weed helps your systoms of chronic depression and ocd can you smoke weed by its self and will it be as harmful as tobbaco
Thank you for the suggestions I've been smoking for about 10 to 12 years and it just make me feel like shit and I can really want to quit... Smoke about a pack a day I hope this helps me
I honestly don't want to quit I am stressed out but to get my surgery I have to quit and it's probably best. I'm in pain constantly so being active is hard
Thanks for sharing, I'm a non smoker, my neighbours smoke and I smell it, what distance to keep so the smoke won't do me no harm? Thanks for your advice.
Well it's been 6 days for me and let me tell you I feel like smoking one so bad but just anxious 😰 I'll be ok I just keep watching the video again and again. Cold turkey it's hard but I think the best way you have to have the encouragement like watching this video just doit don't think about it

You just become addicted to the NRT or vapes - the only way is cold turkey and strength of will...
This is also an option, thanks for sharing
The nicotine in those kind of products is less addictive than the nicotine in cigarettes overall.
This has to do with other chemical compounds that increase the habit forming properties of nicotine. Acetaldehyde is a chemical that increases neurological response to nicotine. It’s formed in cigarette smoke when tobacco additives are burned. Ammonia is intentionally added during cigarette manufacturing because it converts bound nicotine molecules into free molecules which causes an enhanced effect. There’s also MAOIs present that play a roll in increasing nicotine dependency.

Week 5th will be 0 mg capsules and then exit
It’s going great better than what I have expected
I have smoked for 16 years and already tried many times to quit but failed
In my opinion this is the best way to quit
Did you do it?
Starting tomorrow I'm going on my 4th try at quitting smoking for good! I really really want to quit. It's just so hard to break the comforting cycle. I've literally had a mini-stroke before and I still continued to smoke. I feel good about it this time though. I'll find this comment again someday and give a HONEST update.
How’s the journey going?
@@berkenpasbrody I did it! I quit smoking cold turkey the day I originally made this post. I haven't touched one since and never crave them anymore. I'm almost at the 2 month mark(:
Congrats!
@@tracygazobatu4963 thanks so much! 😌🤍 stil looking strong!
@The Vinyl Attic WELL DONE...I hope I can do the same as well
I’ve been smoking since I was 11 years old, I am now 30! - I honestly don’t know how I’m ever going to quit now - I feel the only way is cold turkey but really have no clue how I will be able to
I second this , that booked saved my Life. ✔✅
Allen Carr's book: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking is a GREAT book. That's how I quit for 6 years. Then I relapsed when my bff got sick and died 4 years ago. It sucks but, I'm gonna quit again. Set a date, read the book and smoke as much as you want til the quit date arrives and you've finished the book. Good luck you got this.👊🏽
I'm only 15 years old and yet im already addict to cigarette . Your video is really helpful if I keep going I won't be able to stop anymore
You just need to forget it I was smoker too I am 12😶
I quit this poison
If you quit at 15, don't touch another cigarette. If I hadn't picked up another after I quit at 14 when I was 16, I probably would have been able to quit.
I’ve been following you for a while, your channel has grown so much! Congratulations! I’m also a pharmacist making UA-cam videos but currently videos unrelated to pharmacy 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you so much!!
Do you want to see what else has grown😈
Haha
Are you married Elisa?😊😉
Smoking has got to be more mental than physical when trying to quit because the second I found out I was pregnant with each one of my 3 babies those cigarettes went right in the trash and never picked up again until I finished breastfeeding. I just said to myself your done for a year and that’s it because I never would have been able to live with the guilt. It makes me sick that I was able to toss those cigarettes for my children but I find it so difficult to quit for myself now at 58yo. I want to quit smoking more than ever and I was successful for 4days in the beginning of January but the entire time I couldn’t stop thinking about wanting a cigarette, so day 5 I gave in and went back to it. Psychology and physically I want to be done with smoking forever and never look back, and I am determined to make this happen because I don’t want a heart attack or difficulties with breathing to be the reason I quit, I want to quit before any of those things happen because it’s terrifying to think about and because I have an 18 and 20yr that I need to be around for not to mention future grand babies that I want to be around for. Today is the last cigarette I smoked and the day I’m choosing to quit smoking for good!!!
20 years old trying to quit to go to the army and for my kids so they have a good future see many addictions mess lives up reading the comments tho got me keeping my head up high knowing I can do it
You got this!
Quitting is easy, I've done it five times!
Fast & pray! Glory to The Most High!!
I appreciate the advice and tips, I’m jumping back on the quit wagon starting today

OMG I wish you the best! Be strong!!
How did you fight?
Just saw this, I hope you can still say you haven't smoked
Today i am quiting, that is why I am watching this video. I will not tell anybody that i am quiting because of bad comment like, "hahaha yeah right", "you will not succeed", "for how long you won't smoke?", etc. If I don't quit I woludn't hear comments "i told you, you cannot quit" and so on...
You got this Branka
You are two days ahead of me. Hope we make it!
How was your 1st week
@@fortunatengubeni6410 not proud of myself, 2 cigerettes per day for first week. Still better than pack per day.
Hey! Did u make it??
What sucks is I can’t use replacements for nic because I’m under 21 but I used to buy cigarettes legally at 18 so they basically got me addicted then screwed me because they changed the age from 18 to 21 here in CO
I can’t live like this G, I literally just threw out my last two out😭😭! It makes me so emotionally to actually try and find a brand new lifestyle and leave those disgusting things alone🤮🤮🤮
This is my 5th time trying to quit I have been smoking for 50ty years today is day 5 I feel great when I want a smoke I think bout the money in my jar I have been saving 10.00 a day keeps me from wanting to smoke I wish you all good luck in finding your way😊

NEGLECTED is the ORAL dimension of the addiction.
I am a pharmacist also and I am a smoker trying to quit . currently I am using E-cigarettes it is harsh a little bit but I will do my best and I am thinking that bupropion might help ,so I will discuss this with my PCP and I really loved this video
Thank you for the encouraging video.👍 I am using every suggestion out there to prepare for my quit date on Nov 1. Have smoked for 40 years and regret I ever started. Cold turkey isn't for everyone, so I'll be patching since it helped me quit for one year before.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I smoked for 1 year and now I have made up my mind I'm gonna quit smoking 🚬.. This is day 2 of quitting smoking. Wish me luck 🤞 I will never touch again I believe in my mind control A G never let his mind take control over himself. Support me guys I gotta quit by any means
I quite for Running. also save money. also save time.. also reduces for weakness.
7:47 Best advise for someone like me. I live with my Mom, Wife and my brother and all of them smoke.
I socially smoke but I’m scared I’m going to get addicted because whenever I’m out with friends or I’m at college I always feel the need to smoke😩I wanna stop before it gets worst
You got this Y R
You better I started smoking in 6th grade I'm 32 now I hate it my fiance hates it I have to quit.
Yes stop now if you can. I started out the same way. Eventually something stressful happened and then I started smoking regularly. Maybe get the gum and just use it in social situations that make you want to smoke.
That’s how I started. Just socially smoking than it turned into more.
Someone I love is trying to quit smoking, but he finds that nicotine gum makes him feel sick. He’s only smoking 4-6 cigarettes a day. Can he take half a piece of gum, if he feels it’s too strong?
What 4 to 6
Biggest problem for me, when i inhale a smoke from someone, the cravings come in full effect
Use masks
Tell yourself that you feel bad for them that they are slaves to cigarettes and you get to be healthier and free and no longer mind controlled by them
@59 yrs old in2017 I had a stroke spent 2wks in hospital in Ala. My sister from N Mich.came to get me and take care of me I didnt smoke for 4yrs. Then during the transition of moving out on my own selling my home in the south and buying a trailer in a retirement park in mich haven't been able to quit but want to badlywill work very hard to try and make it happen.
I quit smoking 2 months ago and I have no problem, I started smoking in 2013, year 11 of high school, I started exercising more
This guy help me lose weight and quit smoking cigg you’re the best man ♥️
Thanks you so much, glad I can help! Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you so much for your support to quit smoking cigarettes
Thanks for commenting! You got this!
Last time I stopped smoking cigarettes.. I found it was easier for me not to empty the ash trash. I counted how many I had the day before. It took about a month..one cigarette less a day. & also timed how long between. & waited a little longer.. even just butting it out.. Now I'm wanting to stop.. So here I am.. Looking for maybe other ideas & support.
This is a great idea - leaving the evidence in the ashtray so you can be plenty disgusted with yourself. Thanks for the tip.
I’ve reached day 3, what a difference!
You got this! Thanks for commenting!
@@AbrahamThePharmacist hey I was 9 since I started smoking

Glad I could help
It stimulates my nerves. For some reason that sentence did it for me to not need it anymore.
THIS VIDEO MADE MY INSPIRED TO BE SMOKE FREE PERSON, THANK YOU!
You got this James, all the best
The problem for many of us is psychological. Wanting to smoke because we enjoy it too much. Despite all common sense, wanting to stop and not take it up again. Tried all sorts including hypnotherapy, which was useless (I think more that the hypnotherapist was a quack who mostly left me on a couch with a portable TV which had a decreasing circle spinning around). If they didn't insist on payment up front, I wouldn't have paid and would have left before the half hour was up.
Cold turkey is the best way of quitting smoking and despite what they say it's actually the easiest. Cravings will peak around the 3rd to 5th day. You get past that and use techniques to keep you going you will come out a lot better than people who keep giving their body nicotine.
Things that may help. Shopping with someone who can get you past the smoke counter before you buy them. Deep breathing exercises when you would normally smoke to give that often calming feeling smoking gives. Brisk exercise such as fast walking, jogging. It's amazing how much you start to appreciate the damage smoking does when you start removing the build up of gunk in your lungs through coughing and exercise helps that. Using lollipops. Feel like a smoke go outside with your lollipop suck on it as you would the smoke rolling it in your mouth and in between sucks do some breathing deep in through your nose slowly out through your mouth releasing all air.
If you really think you will need nicotine products get the spray and only use it if you are close to actually buying them i.e. shopping and you know you can't get past the counter.
I have been smoking from 2011 i quitted in 2016 to 2018 i started again in 2018 now i am unable to quit, i m 33 years male and cardiologist says ur ECG hace few minor changes whixh is due to smoking i need help from you people i am feeling motivated
Thank you so much for this video. I'm going to be starting next week. Wish me luck! Thanks again for the awesome advice. 👌
You've got this! Glad you enjoyed the video!
thanks for the tip. btw how you deliver the message/information is great.
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed it :)
im surprised the quiz is telling me that i'm not that addicted as i only smoke less than 10 cigarettes in a day. I'm so addicted i try to smoke slower to try to smoke less
Smoking makes me feel really agitated and nauseas, I even think it gives me social anxiety but I can’t prove it.
It does increase heart rate that might be one of the symptoms that could be related to the anxiety part, I just stopped two days ago it’s really hard 😅 but I have to keep going, the long term health risks aren’t worth it
Make sure your in a good environment and headspace to quit. Quitting when stressed out is almost impossible.
Harmonica is a good replacement
Watching while smoking one...
I quit smoking and I gained 140 pounds. I struggled with diet and exercise but I could not stop the weight from coming on. I went from a slim 135 pounds all the way up to a massive big belly 275. That's right, I more than doubled my former body weight. I got kicked out of the navy for being obese and I lost my military retirement benefits. I developed severe sleep apnea and became a borderline diabetic. I had to give up water skiing and riding my bike. Had I known I was going to get fat like this, you best believe, I'd have never quit smoking. Biggest mistake I ever made. I'd rather get cancer than have to be fat
Its 2:19 pm CST today 812/21. I quit. I haven't had a cigarette today. I'm so tired of not being able to breathe correctly. I'm tired of not having any energy, I'm tired of worrying about my health, I'm tired of spending $300.00 a month I don't have, I'm tired of the smell, the ashes, I'm tired of my teeth always being stained, I'm tired of not resting properly, I'm tired of waking up feeling exhausted, im tired of scheduling my day around my cigarette schedule, I'm tired of not being able to go to certain places because I know people look at me funny because I smell like an ash tray, I'm just F'ng tired of being tired of everything. I want my brain and my life back. Please wish me luck. I've asked God to help me so I know I'll succeed but I'm ask y'all to just be here for me if I need you. Will it be hard? Sure. Am I afraid? Hell no. F! Cigarettes.
Thank u so much well I dont drink but my mother is drinking alot very worried about her so I will say to her to try this but my question is does she need to visit doctors to see if she can use those stuff products waiting for an answer thank u
What is the best type of vape to buy to help I read a little bit I'm sure that you can buy them with nicotine but without all the other stuff from smoking
What my gramps did to quit is he made himself strong coffee anytime he craved a cigarette. After the first month, it got far easier. I'm struggling to quit because it feels as if smoking keeps me going throughout the day.
So u need to find something else that keeps u going through the day. Something u enjoy doing. Listen to a song, go for a walk…it varies for everyone. Only u know what u enjoy. Also, the coffee thing…I quit a few times before and for me, I cannot drink coffee for like a week after I quit because coffee and smoking go together for me. If I have coffee, I really start wanting a cigarette.
@@dreac6241 I think I would have to even give up decaf with that.
What do u do if you quit smokeing but weed helps your systoms of chronic depression and ocd can you smoke weed by its self and will it be as harmful as tobbaco

I honestly don't want to quit I am stressed out but to get my surgery I have to quit and it's probably best. I'm in pain constantly so being active is hard
Thanks for sharing, I'm a non smoker, my neighbours smoke and I smell it, what distance to keep so the smoke won't do me no harm? Thanks for your advice.
