Great vid... Beating myself up after stopping since Xmas 2021. Had 0 until 2 Days back which became 5-6 before knew it. Gave into a CRAVE!😳. The guilt + physical painS brought it back home BIG TIME. Binned 'em/Bless ya.✌
I've quit for a month and went over all the mental hurdles and depression and then felt like a new better person, but then all it took was one cigarette and I bought a pack that same day. You cannot have just one more cigarette, it doesnt work
Aye know exactly what ya mean.👍. Was nigh on 9 months since put the Cig's down. Had cravings here & there, but didn't give in until 2 days ago then before knew it had been through 5. Felt terrible... Physically & Mentally with slight pains in Heart aswell so just proved how much had healed really. Just glad chucked 'em out/All the best to ya.✌
U can if u have strong willpower to stick to 1 a day tough but doable and nite time only and off course no alcohol as that can't tend to lead to more smoking but yeah 1 a day defiantly doable but the main aim is to quit for good but easier said then done
@@scottpringleyes alcohol can really weaken ones resolve/will power. One a day probably is possible but it's a lot of effort for most people. I bet it requires a lot more will power to stick to one a day than to just continue not smoking at all. Also I wouldn't be surprised (I'll have to look it up) if just 1 daily cigarette takes away most of a person's improved health for quitting completely for X months or years (or weeks). That's how I come to be here. I need another video though 👍👍👍
Having just one more cigarette will make the ultimate goal of quitting that much harder. Saying no to just one cigarette will make you that much stronger!
This video helped me. I quit cold turkey 11 days ago after 15 cigarettes a day for 17.5 years. My wife will smoke maybe 1 or 2 cigarettes a month when we drink and never seems to have an issue, drives me crazy. I can’t do that. Everything you said made me think about the last time I quit and I thought I could have 1, made me feel light headed, disappointed in my self and by the next day I bought a pack. Weak! I watch this video, did a couple push ups and still smoke free. My trigger was washing my car, it’s not always about crisis or stressing out. Grilling, cutting the grass, drinking... I hate not smoking, but I hate smoking even more!
Thank you so much for this video. I just had my first "one last cigarette" moment. I almost gave in but decided to see if there's something on the internet about it. To my surprise it's a common thought. Thank you for helping ❤❤❤
I quit 21 days ago but on day 8, I had 2 cigarettes. I definitely don’t recommend it, BUT if you do, write those cigarettes off as stupidity on your part and get on with quitting. Don’t let that cigarette you have convince you that now your quit journey is over. It’s not over until you’ve succeeded and never want another cigarette for the rest of your life. Good luck everyone. It’s a journey and you get a huge reward at the end. You get to live.
Thank you Nasia, I have often wanted just one cigarette. Of course after that, you just want another one. I haven't smoked for 4 months now, and even though I have had a bit of stress, the voice in my head hasn't been demanding just one cigarette. My goal is to get through the year without smoking. Thank you, your channel changed my life
I have stopped now after 50 years smoking. It's one mth now. I'm enjoying Nasia videos & find them so helpful. I'm starting on my first CBQ meeting on Wednesday evening so I'm looking forward to seeing the four Cs.❤❤
Your logic is on point, you have really helped me transition into a non smoker. You pop up at the right times and guide me through my quit journey at every point. I strongly recommend everyone taps the bell 🛎 as CBQs videos helps protect you from the craving mind regularly. Thank you 🙏
Been addicted to nicotine daily for the last 5 years. It’s been 48 hours since the last hit of my vape. Long journey ahead! Thanks for your encouraging videos 😀
Be mindful of the vaping mate. Most vapers end up sitting there watching the telly , UNCONSCIOUSLY just vaping away. They end up vaping a lot more than they smoked in the first place 👍🙏👍
Fantastic advice and spot on. I quit cold turkey close to 16 months ago. I have thoughts of having 1 cigarette but I know from past experience that this would just lead to me smoking again. I have had dreams over the past 15 months that I was smoking again. Thank god, it was just a dream.
Thank you, I am (was) minutes away from lighting up and the echos of the post-guilt brought me here. Appreciate you! "One is too many", that's a bar of note! Thanks for the beautiful work, it really helps, this added resolve can come into great use when learning a language or skill, so again, thank you!
Never, once quit stay off... If you say just one, then next day etc.....I know 40 years ago I was a young teen stopped, the 5 years later I got hit by a drunk driver and begged cop for a cigarette, that led me right back. I will never smoke again ... never I am happy to say 20 years clean
im on day 4. i can safely say this is the hardest mental craving i ever had in my life, and i am at my parents appartement, so cigarettes and cigarillos are available within my reach. i had some glasses of white wine aswell. heres a tip, learn from my mistake: If you have just quit, and associate drinking and smoking, do not drink alcohol as the cravings that come with it are horrible. Good luck on your journey!
6 wks as a non smoker..So far,so good, but I have been 'thinking' (craving) about having just 1. I came across this video and it saved me. Thank you, Nasia. onward....
My entire life I despised cigarettes. Everyone in my family smoked. Father, 4 to 6 packs a dat, Mum, 2 to 4 packs a day, and my older siblings. I grew up with it since I was a baby and I'm sure and know that Mum smoked for all her pregnancies and I remember always breathing it in and getting burned sometimes. I thought I would never ever smoke. Then I dated someone who smoked for the first time and I ended up in a 3 year battle with him being a heavy smoker along with his family and his friends. I felt like I lost the battle, so I joined in.... AT 41 years old... I thought, I would only be smoking for short term. 10 years later, I've become a 1 to 2 pack smoker. I was disgusted and so angry at myself. Of course the pandemic didn't help and so my boyfriend and I smoking every single day in the apartment or on our balcony. WELL. One day, I woke up at 4.30 am and by the time the sun was coming up, I had already had about 10. That was IT!!! What's worse, I am an Wilderness Outdoor educator for kids and run summer camps and other guided hikes and here I was always sneaking off to have that smoke. I was so conscientious of the smell on me, my breathe. Could parents tell I smoked and what would they be thinking. You get it. This is where I started watching every single video I could find about quitting and health concerns, you name it. So I started watching Nasia Davos and February 13th, was my quit day. Every single day, I would spend my morning hours at my most vulnerable moment with coffee and watched her CBQ video's over and over again. Nasia, you have been my sponsor to keep me smoke free. Funny how you are just talking about the exact thing I am dealing with. I did, 2 weeks ago, while waiting up in the mountains for my hiking group to arrive and I said, OH, I'll just take a puff or two. I did. And that guilt and that thought of, it was just one and that little voice saying, you loved it was all there again. When I got home, I started watching all your video's again and haven't lit one up since. Remember, my boyfriend is a heavy smoker and I do battle with it, but I have continued to be determined not to smoke again. Thank you for being my strength.
This comment truly inspires me. I feel the same way. I live with my mom who smokes despite my wanting to quit. I always end up in the "just one" thoughts when I try to quit.
Hi Manu, having setbacks is normal and part of the journey. Well done on not lighting up another cigarette after that one! 👏 Reflecting on what you could have done differently can help you avoid finding yourself in the same situation. This video below can help too: ua-cam.com/video/z65h-yFQ-HA/v-deo.html If your boyfriend and your family are smokers, watching this other video will benefit you a lot. In this video, Nasia shares 1 tip that can instantly change how you experience a social situation, especially when you’re with other smokers: fb.watch/4akOek1wRi/ Keep moving forward! You've got this. 💪
So you just found a cigarette up there? How did you just happen to have "a" cigarette on you? If not in a pack, a single cigarette would crush in a back back, purse, you get the picture. To not smoke, no smokes in the house, car, anywhere. Cause that just one will not be enough, you will always find a reason to smoke.
@@patriciashelton6644 The person I was with was a smoker!!! And of course my boyfriend is a heavy smoker that smokes in the apartment, the truck and I can’t get away from it.
Today is my Day 39 post smoking. After first week's craving/all other crap feelings, I was relatively alright for next 3weeks. But last one week was hell like feeling for me- every day I had this bad bad craving for one cigarette. It was quite surprising that after 4weeks I started to feel this urge. But good news is- I didn't surrender to my urge!😁🤘 So far, for last 38days, I am smoke free. I think I am hell-bent not to smoke, cause I want to spend quality time with my kid & smoking is like barrier for that. Let's see.🤞
I started today. It's my 4 attempt. What made me to fail was that just one cigarette. Now I know better, I think lol. I'm going to tell myself that I didn't stop smoking, I will not start again!
"1st NO" wish had told self in the 1st place! Many Family members etc smoked ever since can remember. Never nicked 1 off them though on the sly!!!. A Piano Teacher kept hers on top of Piano so just gave in & nicked 1 when she went to the Bog. I was 16 then & been addicted ever since.😈
Yes , think about your positive goals you will achieve for quitting your addiction... The smaller more immediate goals and the other bigger achievements that WILL follow 👍🙏👍 Try to 'catch yourself on' as quickly as possible - when those oppressive craving thoughts slink there way into your almost unconscious every day thinking....Nuff said... getting carried away 🙏👍🙏
Im five days in from quitting, the cravings started after cooking and talking and then even more after i ate. I sat and read down all 10 of my affirmations 3× for quitting nicotine. Slightly went away and then i thought to look up if i just take a couple pulls because i was hoping i see something like its normal to have just a couple pulls after quitting for days. It all read, it'll increase the cravings and basically i shouldn't so i go to UA-cam and ask to see if someone said maybe they did and still was able to continue quitting after. I clicked this video and i felt it was a sign and proud of myself, adter all that thinking, watching and typing the craving is over. BTW the comments are inspiring and i want to add my 1.2 that WE CAN DO IT, WE ARE IN CONTROL, OUR MINDS ARE STRONG, ITS A CHALLENGE WE WILL OVERCOME. POWER TO US... SMOKE FREE
I’ve been smoking since I was 12 . Now I’m 30 and 12 days in quitting nicotine. Borderline depressed at the moment, but the first 3 days was pure misery! It’s not a bad habit , it’s a freaking curse. Had 2 glasses of wine, and I almost convinced myself of just having one more .. I’m so happy I know this channel , you are a saint !
In the interest of honest recording.. Last night I hit another peak craving that sent me over the edge. I had broken a cigarette that I put back together to get a few puffs :( I am not looking at this as a failure because it did absolutely nothing for me. It made me realize that even if I did smoke a whole one, the small relief I would feel would be short lived and I risk loosing this life altering goal. So that's it. N.O.P.E. Not one puff ever. Free for a lifetime. Videos like this will help stay strong.
thank you so much ! I am going to drink tomorrow with friends and i was totally confident that after 40 days of quitting if i smoke 1or2 ciggerettes then i can easily control my cravings but now i understand that if i smoke tomorrow then i cannot control my cravings and thats a wrong move after so much effort of quitting . Now i will say no tomorrow and i will smoke only after 6 months or so just to taste it again.Last but not the least ,you are really beautifullll Nadia..
I guess the problem is that I don't feel better being smoke free... I feel annoyed and frustrated. Its been over a month and I still keep wanting a cigarette, which is annoying.
honestly, quitting cigarettes made me healthier and physically better, mentaly - I'm more F*ed up than I was when smoking. I smoked 2 cigarettes after 2,5 years because of breakdown, but I knew that I wont smoke another one later or tomorrow , I can hold my self without them with friends who smoke and all that, and now my goal is to not have that 1 smoke in next couple years but go through the bull*it normaly. For those who is trying to quit - I failed 2 times, but on third I did this - choose day when I will stop smoking, a day where I will be doing something and get my mind off of it, went to party previous day and smoked last cigarette before i went to sleep. It's more like - when you REALY want it, you can do it no problem :)
Very true I quit smoking for one year and then after one puff and then one cigarette then I bought a pack and eventually started smoking again 😢. I tried a lot to quit again but it took one year to quit again and today it's my 20 18 day without smoking this time I'll never smoke again. the good thing is my cravings is already over no more cravings 😊
just had a relapse after 2 years of not taking a single puff, funny think is i didnt even enjoy it anymore, it just taste like ashtray.but dont let this be an encouragement for you to relapse cuz everyone is obviously not gonna react the same way
I smoked 10 at a time until I started puking, then after puking I'd keep smoking til I puked my guts out, took a sip of cigarette water and passed out for a day. When I woke, I didn't smoke for 2 years. Then I said, oh what's one little cigarette? 10 years passes smoking a pack a day until now. 24 days cold turkey. If you're not in control of your mind, not in control of your life.
One week smoke free. Cravings are getting less and less. However, I really can't accept the idea that i will never smoke again. What if i limit my cigarettes to one cigarette a day? Would that be so bad?
Haha i thought to smoke one time today and i just want to check that it will make craving or not soo i checkout this video and now after watching it I'm not smoking since it's a long time soo i quit thank you 😊
Firstly I love your videos and your passion... I quit smoking ciggarettes 7 years ago, and used electronic cigarette to come off cigarettes, I used e cig for 7 years and then quit that also 3 weeks ago, slowly coming down off nicotine, 18 to 16 to 10 to 3 then without nicotine... then I craved a ciggarette weirdly, even though after starting vaping I couldn't stand the smell of ciggarette smoke... anyway I had one cig.... 4 days ago and it was disgusting.... horrible.... please advise what your thoughts on ecig with nicotine
30 days no smoke.,,,one cigarette comes to my mind once a day,,,,but I knw if I smoke one cigarette I’ll be a chain smoker again….as I hv done this mistake when I quitted for the first time for 3 months …
You will still inhale some and any residual product will be in your mouth so you will swallow it. It is a tobacco product so has nicotine among other things and then there is the psychological part of the addiction. If you get a positive payoff of some kind you will continue to seek that out as well. It's lose lose, best just to stay away. I live rural so there is alot of open land around me. When I would crave a cigarette I would go out and do some hard wind sprints. The last thing I wanted after that was a smoke. It would oxygenate my blood so I would get the positive oxygen, endorphin high which is good if you are trying to replace a bad habit.
Hi George, thank you for your comment. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical compound present in the tobacco plant. Tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah tobacco, and most e-cigarettes, contain nicotine. In this video below, Nasia explains why smoking only a few cigarettes a day (or an occasional cigar) can cause cancer and is harmful: fb.watch/4kZmFZr5Y6/ Below is further research on the topic: www.cancer.org/latest-news/study-confirms-there-is-no-safe-level-of-smoking.html www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/tobacco_industry/cigars/index.htm
I tried vaping nicotine, and it was worse, so I gave up altogether. Try to hang out less with friends who smoke, because they become your 'excuse" persons. Well, he or she is still smoking, so it can't be too bad?
Thats the power of NICOTINE !! If you touch one, that 2 years smoke free is gone, you are a smoker again! After 13 years of quit, I became a smoker again, just bcoz of that one cigarette! Dangerous devil
For last 20 yrs, I have been smoking in a very irregular pattern. 1. Under sever tension or pressure at work but 1 or 2 at night. 2. When extremely relaxed during holiday but 1 or 2 max. 3. Not smoking for 6-7 months but again took up for a puff of 1 or 2 cig after getting traumatized by my father's death who died in a very peculiar manner. 4. When meeting some of my friends after a long time who smoke. Otherwise, do not feel any compulsion to keep a packet either.
I haven’t watched the video but I quit smoking for years and I would occasionally have a cig, maybe once every 6 months if I was with someone and drinking and thout oh why not? I don’t recommend it. But it wasn’t until a few months ago when my friend stayed over for a week i I literally smoked everyday all day for a week just because something got into me. I tried to quit after that week and I “couldn’t”. I went out and bought a vape and slowly brought my nicotine levels down and now today I finally have not smoked/vaped for 3 days and my intense cravings finally have gone away, I’m free again 😂😂 it was rough tho lol 😝 I know that cigarettes will always be there so why smoke myself to death? I’d rather not smoke knowing that if I ever want a cigarette in the future I’ll always be able too. But I don’t recommend ever smoke again it’s to difficult and it’s not really worth it. It’s only good while you are addicted but if you aren’t addicted then it’s like eh who cares about cigarettes they are boring now.
No ....... ! They are like Lay's potato chips. You cannot have just one. After the one, you are will on the way to buying packs again. Do not do it!! I quit smoking cold turkey on Dec 24, 2021. I have had many relapses in the past by thinking that I could just have one cigarette.
37 day smoke free after 16 years smoking gotta say the benefits are real sleep better, smell better, skin looks brighter, exercise is definitely a lot easier. Only down side to quitting smokimg is throwing out all your clothes cause my god the smell is awful ! My advice give up smoking doesnt do anything positive for you period
this is exactly my problem. I have stopped smoking for months, twice, and every time I started getting this vague thought that I'd like to have just one cigarette, maybe to see how I'd react, maybe I'll think it's disgusting and never think about it again. As long as I don't do that, this thought comes back irregularly but it doesn't stop, then one day I smoke one cigarette and my quit attempt is ended, because I can't stop again.
Just one cigarette... Is a trick mind play it.. Or also the other tricks.. U have able to quit for all these duration.. U can smok one and quit hhhhh all these traps
Hi Hitesh, we'd love to help! Preparation is one of the keys in successfully quitting smoking 💪 To prepare, start watching the 4 quit smoking stages of the CBQ method. This is stage 1: ua-cam.com/video/IVYQslTFS5Q/v-deo.html
Letter To Editor: What kind of country would give cigarette smokers a quit smoking method that has a 98% rate of failure, and then severely hurt them with 'punishment taxes' because they can't quit? Authoritarian, capitalistic, dictatorial, narcissistic, tyrannical? Well we hope it's the lesser of evils -blind stupidity. But whatever it's called, this cruel thievery needs to be reversed immediately! L. Paulson Ellsworth. San Leandro CA USA
I quit 6 years ago, and have a few with friends when I’m out drinking socially Never have the urge to have anymore the next day, I can go a week without one, a month without one, doesn’t really bother me
Stupid speaking here, coma 9 1/2 months, woke up and guess what? I wonder what would happen if I just had a puff? 17 years later, quit again! No puffs, sniffs, snorts nothing!! Chew gum and put the $$ in a piggy bank!!
Thanks so much for watching! Do you think it’s okay to have just one cigarette/pinch/hit/puff? Share your thoughts in the comments below👇
@PANDEMIC BOXING PRODUCTIONS congratulations!
@@CBQMethod I searched “one cigarette” after giving in after 5years of not smoking and this was exactly what I needed to hear
I think about this today. Thank you for ur post
One cigarette ended my almost 2 years quit,today is my 15 day of no smoking,never take another puff again it is crucial,

Remember, my boyfriend is a heavy smoker and I do battle with it, but I have continued to be determined not to smoke again. Thank you for being my strength.
This comment truly inspires me. I feel the same way. I live with my mom who smokes despite my wanting to quit. I always end up in the "just one" thoughts when I try to quit.
Hi Manu, having setbacks is normal and part of the journey. Well done on not lighting up another cigarette after that one! 👏 Reflecting on what you could have done differently can help you avoid finding yourself in the same situation. This video below can help too: ua-cam.com/video/z65h-yFQ-HA/v-deo.html
If your boyfriend and your family are smokers, watching this other video will benefit you a lot. In this video, Nasia shares 1 tip that can instantly change how you experience a social situation, especially when you’re with other smokers: fb.watch/4akOek1wRi/
Keep moving forward! You've got this. 💪
So you just found a cigarette up there? How did you just happen to have "a" cigarette on you? If not in a pack, a single cigarette would crush in a back back, purse, you get the picture. To not smoke, no smokes in the house, car, anywhere. Cause that just one will not be enough, you will always find a reason to smoke.
@@patriciashelton6644 The person I was with was a smoker!!! And of course my boyfriend is a heavy smoker that smokes in the apartment, the truck and I can’t get away from it.
Enjoying her videos. She really " gets it "
I've been tobacco free for a few months and I still get the cravings.
Today is my Day 39 post smoking. After first week's craving/all other crap feelings, I was relatively alright for next 3weeks.
But last one week was hell like feeling for me- every day I had this bad bad craving for one cigarette. It was quite surprising that after 4weeks I started to feel this urge.
But good news is- I didn't surrender to my urge!😁🤘 So far, for last 38days, I am smoke free.
I think I am hell-bent not to smoke, cause I want to spend quality time with my kid & smoking is like barrier for that. Let's see.🤞
Can I use a juul or a e-cig to help me stop smoking?
I’m doing it. Yesterday was the first day being a non smoker. I’m so proud of myself. It’s tuff but I keep watching your videos. Thank you
I started today. It's my 4 attempt. What made me to fail was that just one cigarette. Now I know better, I think lol. I'm going to tell myself that I didn't stop smoking, I will not start again!
i love you. I wanted to smoke but you put me off.
1 is too many & 1000 is not enough.
👏👏👏👏
"1st NO" wish had told self in the 1st place! Many Family members etc smoked ever since can remember. Never nicked 1 off them though on the sly!!!. A Piano Teacher kept hers on top of Piano so just gave in & nicked 1 when she went to the Bog. I was 16 then & been addicted ever since.😈
Thankyou nasia just downloaded your free 4 stages of your course,now just need to work through it.thankyou for your inspiring videos ❤🇬🇧😊
Yes , think about your positive goals you will achieve for quitting your addiction... The smaller more immediate goals and the other bigger achievements that WILL follow 👍🙏👍
Try to 'catch yourself on' as quickly as possible - when those oppressive craving thoughts slink there way into your almost unconscious every day thinking....Nuff said... getting carried away 🙏👍🙏
Im five days in from quitting, the cravings started after cooking and talking and then even more after i ate. I sat and read down all 10 of my affirmations 3× for quitting nicotine. Slightly went away and then i thought to look up if i just take a couple pulls because i was hoping i see something like its normal to have just a couple pulls after quitting for days. It all read, it'll increase the cravings and basically i shouldn't so i go to UA-cam and ask to see if someone said maybe they did and still was able to continue quitting after. I clicked this video and i felt it was a sign and proud of myself, adter all that thinking, watching and typing the craving is over. BTW the comments are inspiring and i want to add my 1.2 that
WE CAN DO IT, WE ARE IN CONTROL, OUR MINDS ARE STRONG, ITS A CHALLENGE WE WILL OVERCOME. POWER TO US... SMOKE FREE
great thank you so much im 14 hours in and these help so much
You are a smart woman, thanks for sharing this :)
Thank you today it's 10th day of quitting smokeless tobacco after watching your almost all your videos
I’ve been smoking since I was 12 . Now I’m 30 and 12 days in quitting nicotine. Borderline depressed at the moment, but the first 3 days was pure misery! It’s not a bad habit , it’s a freaking curse. Had 2 glasses of wine, and I almost convinced myself of just having one more .. I’m so happy I know this channel , you are a saint !
Alcohol makes the cigarette addiction worse
In the interest of honest recording.. Last night I hit another peak craving that sent me over the edge. I had broken a cigarette that I put back together to get a few puffs :( I am not looking at this as a failure because it did absolutely nothing for me. It made me realize that even if I did smoke a whole one, the small relief I would feel would be short lived and I risk loosing this life altering goal. So that's it. N.O.P.E. Not one puff ever. Free for a lifetime. Videos like this will help stay strong.
I forgot to mention this was my 6th day without a smoke.
thank you so much ! I am going to drink tomorrow with friends and i was totally confident that after 40 days of quitting if i smoke 1or2 ciggerettes then i can easily control my cravings but now i understand that if i smoke tomorrow then i cannot control my cravings and thats a wrong move after so much effort of quitting . Now i will say no tomorrow and i will smoke only after 6 months or so just to taste it again.Last but not the least ,you are really beautifullll Nadia..
Dr Novis i am smoking for last 55 years . Help me quit. All nicely said by you.
I guess the problem is that I don't feel better being smoke free... I feel annoyed and frustrated. Its been over a month and I still keep wanting a cigarette, which is annoying.
honestly, quitting cigarettes made me healthier and physically better, mentaly - I'm more F*ed up than I was when smoking. I smoked 2 cigarettes after 2,5 years because of breakdown, but I knew that I wont smoke another one later or tomorrow , I can hold my self without them with friends who smoke and all that, and now my goal is to not have that 1 smoke in next couple years but go through the bull*it normaly. For those who is trying to quit - I failed 2 times, but on third I did this - choose day when I will stop smoking, a day where I will be doing something and get my mind off of it, went to party previous day and smoked last cigarette before i went to sleep. It's more like - when you REALY want it, you can do it no problem :)
Great video
Very true I quit smoking for one year and then after one puff and then one cigarette then I bought a pack and eventually started smoking again 😢. I tried a lot to quit again but it took one year to quit again and today it's my 20 18 day without smoking this time I'll never smoke again. the good thing is my cravings is already over no more cravings 😊
23 days post smoking. The urge of smoking 1 cigarette is strong. 😢
An old saying says, one cigarettes is too many, a thousand is not enough
This has helped me yes no to that one I'm just upsetting my self.
just had a relapse after 2 years of not taking a single puff, funny think is i didnt even enjoy it anymore, it just taste like ashtray.but dont let this be an encouragement for you to relapse cuz everyone is obviously not gonna react the same way
Very usefull content thank you for sharing..
You’re welcome! 🙏
I smoked 10 at a time until I started puking, then after puking I'd keep smoking til I puked my guts out, took a sip of cigarette water and passed out for a day. When I woke, I didn't smoke for 2 years. Then I said, oh what's one little cigarette? 10 years passes smoking a pack a day until now. 24 days cold turkey. If you're not in control of your mind, not in control of your life.
Thank you for sharing your experience. !
@jimminy cricket ya the kind you ash your cigarettes in when you have no ashtray
@jimminy cricket one sip of that and you can be sure it's longterm effectiveness for quitting lol
Thanks for this video.. Helped me a lot! It's been a year I hv quit but suddenly wanted to have one cigarette since 2 days.
oh no
One week smoke free. Cravings are getting less and less. However, I really can't accept the idea that i will never smoke again. What if i limit my cigarettes to one cigarette a day? Would that be so bad?
timothy ferriss fan i saw it on your book shelf
7:37 Dam Thanks!
Haha i thought to smoke one time today and i just want to check that it will make craving or not soo i checkout this video and now after watching it I'm not smoking since it's a long time soo i quit thank you 😊
Still on 1 -2 a day only here very difficult to knock this 1 or 2 a day off
Firstly I love your videos and your passion...
I quit smoking ciggarettes 7 years ago, and used electronic cigarette to come off cigarettes, I used e cig for 7 years and then quit that also 3 weeks ago, slowly coming down off nicotine, 18 to 16 to 10 to 3 then without nicotine... then I craved a ciggarette weirdly, even though after starting vaping I couldn't stand the smell of ciggarette smoke... anyway I had one cig.... 4 days ago and it was disgusting.... horrible.... please advise what your thoughts on ecig with nicotine
Thank you 🙏
30 days no smoke.,,,one cigarette comes to my mind once a day,,,,but I knw if I smoke one cigarette I’ll be a chain smoker again….as I hv done this mistake when I quitted for the first time for 3 months …
I have been smoking with 1 to 5 ciggarette a week but it has no effect on my health why??
Nadiaa .. thank you so much .. by the way you look so bieutiful
What about an occasional cigar after quitting cigarettes?. You don't inhale those and most people say cigars are not addictive
You will still inhale some and any residual product will be in your mouth so you will swallow it.
It is a tobacco product so has nicotine among other things and then there is the psychological part of the addiction.
If you get a positive payoff of some kind you will continue to seek that out as well.
It's lose lose, best just to stay away.
I live rural so there is alot of open land around me. When I would crave a cigarette I would go out and do some hard wind sprints. The last thing I wanted after that was a smoke.
It would oxygenate my blood so I would get the positive oxygen, endorphin high which is good if you are trying to replace a bad habit.
Hi George, thank you for your comment. Nicotine is a highly addictive chemical compound present in the tobacco plant. Tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah tobacco, and most e-cigarettes, contain nicotine.
In this video below, Nasia explains why smoking only a few cigarettes a day (or an occasional cigar) can cause cancer and is harmful: fb.watch/4kZmFZr5Y6/
Below is further research on the topic:

I quit 70 days today
Two days today.
No
👍👍
I tried vaping nicotine, and it was worse, so I gave up altogether. Try to hang out less with friends who smoke, because they become your 'excuse" persons. Well, he or she is still smoking, so it can't be too bad?
Thank you Nasia.
Can you make a video on if you can get cravings from taking the covid vaccine?
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll research it and if I find a connection I'll create a video on it
Going through 2nd day of quitting now and this persistent issue is not helping me.
What im gonna do.. 10 days no smoke but then now i smoke 1 then become 2..but in my mind i will never buy pocket to smoke a cigarette😭😭 its so hard
Omg thank you
No smoking from today💪💪💪
I hit 2 years Jan 1. I just want one 🤣
Thats the power of NICOTINE !! If you touch one, that 2 years smoke free is gone, you are a smoker again! After 13 years of quit, I became a smoker again, just bcoz of that one cigarette! Dangerous devil
25 years. My first 10 days no cigarette
1 becomes 2 , 2 becomes 10 lol
I have quite 3 years now and everyday I start to crave Sigaret suddenly out of the bleu. I’m afraid but I think I will start again
Did you smoke?
@@Jaylove91 yes 2 months now
@@savead6628 i am 1 and a half year clean. Hope you can stop again if thats what you want! Stay strong!
@@Jaylove91 I am searching for the right time to stop again. Thank you brother for ur motivational words.
For last 20 yrs, I have been smoking in a very irregular pattern.
1. Under sever tension or pressure at work but 1 or 2 at night.
2. When extremely relaxed during holiday but 1 or 2 max.
3. Not smoking for 6-7 months but again took up for a puff of 1 or 2 cig after getting traumatized by my father's death who died in a very peculiar manner.
4. When meeting some of my friends after a long time who smoke.
Otherwise, do not feel any compulsion to keep a packet either.
Lucky basterd
one cigaret smoke after 3 mounts and unfurtunatly relapsed :( :(
I haven’t watched the video but I quit smoking for years and I would occasionally have a cig, maybe once every 6 months if I was with someone and drinking and thout oh why not? I don’t recommend it. But it wasn’t until a few months ago when my friend stayed over for a week i I literally smoked everyday all day for a week just because something got into me. I tried to quit after that week and I “couldn’t”. I went out and bought a vape and slowly brought my nicotine levels down and now today I finally have not smoked/vaped for 3 days and my intense cravings finally have gone away, I’m free again 😂😂 it was rough tho lol 😝
I know that cigarettes will always be there so why smoke myself to death? I’d rather not smoke knowing that if I ever want a cigarette in the future I’ll always be able too.
But I don’t recommend ever smoke again it’s to difficult and it’s not really worth it. It’s only good while you are addicted but if you aren’t addicted then it’s like eh who cares about cigarettes they are boring now.
No ....... ! They are like Lay's potato chips. You cannot have just one. After the one, you are will on the way to buying packs again. Do not do it!! I quit smoking cold turkey on Dec 24, 2021. I have had many relapses in the past by thinking that I could just have one cigarette.
'Course u can
curious to know if the person in the video was ever a smoker.
Yes, she was
37 day smoke free after 16 years smoking gotta say the benefits are real sleep better, smell better, skin looks brighter, exercise is definitely a lot easier. Only down side to quitting smokimg is throwing out all your clothes cause my god the smell is awful ! My advice give up smoking doesnt do anything positive for you period
this is exactly my problem. I have stopped smoking for months, twice, and every time I started getting this vague thought that I'd like to have just one cigarette, maybe to see how I'd react, maybe I'll think it's disgusting and never think about it again. As long as I don't do that, this thought comes back irregularly but it doesn't stop, then one day I smoke one cigarette and my quit attempt is ended, because I can't stop again.
After trying to quit anf failing multiple times, I've decided to quit today on WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY.
Just one cigarette... Is a trick mind play it.. Or also the other tricks.. U have able to quit for all these duration.. U can smok one and quit hhhhh all these traps
plz help me out quit smoking
Hi Hitesh, we'd love to help! Preparation is one of the keys in successfully quitting smoking 💪 To prepare, start watching the 4 quit smoking stages of the CBQ method. This is stage 1: ua-cam.com/video/IVYQslTFS5Q/v-deo.html
Nope, one puff heads you back into the addiction,

What kind of country would give cigarette smokers a quit smoking method that has a 98% rate of failure, and then severely hurt them with 'punishment taxes' because they can't quit? Authoritarian, capitalistic, dictatorial, narcissistic, tyrannical? Well we hope it's the lesser of evils -blind stupidity. But whatever it's called, this cruel thievery needs to be reversed immediately! L. Paulson Ellsworth. San Leandro CA USA
Tbh watching this video while smoking 😂
I've heard it is good to change bad habbits for good ones,so basically you just switch nicotine addiction to Nasia addiction . :D
Hahahahahahahhs patetic
@@МилутинРадић It was a simp joke,but it was only a joke :P
I quit 6 years ago, and have a few with friends when I’m out drinking socially
Never have the urge to have anymore the next day, I can go a week without one, a month without one, doesn’t really bother me
If that was true, then you would never smoke at all, you are still addicted. Horrible position.
treu treu treu treu !
Stupid speaking here, coma 9 1/2 months, woke up and guess what? I wonder what would happen if I just had a puff? 17 years later, quit again! No puffs, sniffs, snorts nothing!! Chew gum and put the $$ in a piggy bank!!
