I applaud you for trying to quit, but be careful, I know several people that are more hooked on vaping than they ever were on cigarettes. I used Nicorette lozenges about 12 years ago and they seemed to help. After smoking for over 40 years, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

The worst part of a polite smoker(goes outdoors) amoungst you is the stench wafting off them for hours when they do come back inside.Good for you!
Cigarettes are filthy and stinky. Prove me wrong.
When I was in Vegas last week, I was sitting on a bench next to an outdoor seating area for a restaurant. I was talking to my daughter on the phone and all of a sudden, I'm smelling cigarette smoke. Really strong. I turn to my left, and there is a couple standing two feet away from me smoking. Like I'm sitting on the park bench, and they are both standing in front of the bench next to me. Seriously? I moved to the edge of the bench, but couldn't get away. I may have said something like "WTF?" to my daughter, gave the smokers a dirty look to match their dirty habit, and got up and walked 20 feet away. The woman noticed and went back into the patio dining area. The dude waited another minute or so and then went back to the patio. I went back to sit on the bench, and there were two cigarette butts on the ground. Pigs.
I have no willpower, so I'm thankful I never tried smoking (I can't even quit chocolate), so I do feel compassion for those of you hopelessly addicted and allowing the tobacco companies to control when you wake, take a break, and go outside (even in crappy weather). My mother-in-law has to go outside and stand in the freezing cold, all by herself, every 30 minutes or so. Just her and her cigarette. The tobacco companies command her to do that, and she complies. It must suck, and I'm glad I don't smoke.
That being said, I cannot believe anyone still smokes with all of the help out there, and I REALLY can't believe young people smoke, including vaping. They know how it ends.
But vaping is still better than tobacco. More addictive, I hear, but less stinky. No butts to dispose of.
This is a real thing.Popcorn Lung: A Dangerous Risk of Flavored E-Cigarettes
Over a decade ago major popcorn manufacturers removed diacetyl from their products because of deaths and hundreds of cases of bronchiolitis obliterans, a serious and irreversible lung disease. But som
vaping makes me cough like a mother fucker.
I took up cigs around 15 years ago at 50. Today as then I smoke on occasional weekends when around friends smoking as we drink. My doctor still shakes his head each year at physical... he tells me its very rare that the nicotine doesn't grab us physiologically. Like you said... maybe we're just not the addictive type. Who knowsI haven’t had a smoke since Sunday, or a drink. I’ll probably drink tonight or tomorrow, and I’ll smoke. I’m totally fine without them, I don’t carry them with me, I don’t smoke outside of my garage, I don’t smoke on vacation or in my cars. I will smoke and drink 2/3 times a week, and then not crave either one for a week again. People think it’s weird, idk, I don’t think I have that addictive personality.
I read that “quitters Inc.” Is 100% effective.if it helps you quit it's good deal.
Have you tried a psychic?
Yep. Or when they are in the car with you on a road trip and need to stop for a smoke. As soon as they get in your car the whole interior reeks of cigarettes.The worst part of a polite smoker(goes outdoors) amoungst you is the stench wafting off them for hours when they do come back inside.
I guess in that respect, chewing tobacco is better.
It permeates their clothes and stains their fingers.Yep. Or when they are in the car with you on a road trip and need to stop for a smoke. As soon as they get in your car the whole interior reeks of cigarettes.
Kids came to school smelling like cigarettes because their parents smoked.
A classic.
if it helps you quit it's good deal.

I do enjoy a ZYN now though!
As long as she's got her papers in order and doesn't steal my wrist clock while I'm under her spell.
Wrong, your just substituting one bad habit for another...
With ya
Once you realize smoking is a two part deal. (The nicotine addiction AND the habit of smoking) its cake to quit.Quitting smoking is not ez. Until you quit fucking around and make up your mind to quit.
What brought me over the finishline was my younger brother telling me he was tougher than me ,becuase "I let a fucking cig lead me around like a bitch"
That was it. Done! Pills, patches and about a month later I am one of those EX Smokers.
I also proved I am stronger and tougher as I haven't gone back. Not even one puff.
Once you realize smoking is a two part deal. (The nicotine addiction AND the habit of smoking) its cake to quit. Put away the douch flute is ain't helping you quit. Get serious.. and you will be on the other side before you know it
Good luck

You may be joking here, but it did work for me. Almost 19 years ago - one-hour session with a hypnotherapist and haven't smoked since.
