Think you'll smell better! 🚭
Think you'll live better, and longer! 🚭
Think if you were pregnant, and there is no 'but's (pun intended!) about it! 🚭

Good luck :) Day 1 is almost over.

Hope you the best of luck I think if you really want to it is in the brain to persist.

Hey, good luck! Never too early to stop

Oh I understand all too well how difficult quitting can be! I have been a smoker for about 15 years, off and on, and I have “quit” more times than I can count. Most notably during both of my pregnancies, then for 6 months after heart surgery. (It was a heart defect; not disease). Then started up again until I got pneumonia and quit for 2 months and now here I am again. 

Oddly enough, I find second-hand smoke absolutely disgusting, yet I am a smoker myself. I don’t smoke in our home since we have 2 daughters and I generally don’t smoke during the day now since I’ve drastically reduced my coffee drinking habit. My weakness is when I have an alcoholic beverage or when I step out for a break on my porch at night. 

If I can offer any words of encouragement, it’s that when I’m not smoking, I’m much more productive! I think I found myself looking for better habits to fill the void that I was feeling. Best of luck to you!  Looking forward to hearing about your progress!

Oh come on! To quit smoking is the easiest thing! I've done it like a hundred times! 😁

Kidding aside, I feel you! It's really hard and I never succeeded on doing it "cold turkey". 

But what has worked for me is vaping. Since I started vaping almost 1,5 year ago I haven't smoked. Well, I did taste it a couple of times (it was needed for a shooting) and the amazing thing was... I didn't like it! And that was the moment that I knew I wouldn't smoke again!

It helps a lot getting your nicotine through vaping and doing the move to bring the (electronic) cigarette to your mouth. But I have managed to drop the nicotine levels to 1 mg and soon I'm hoping to drop it to zero. That, in combination with the fact that I'm vaping a lot more scarcely than the beginning, gives me hope that I can get rid of vaping too in the next few months.

Give it a go. I was reluctant at first myself but it has helped me.

In any way, I wholeheartedly wish you to make it and try to remember that half the addiction is in your mind.

I smoke 3-4 cigarettes a day. 2010 I stopped altogether, it was not difficult, the decision was strong. Three years ago, because of some bad things in my life, I started to smoke cigarettes again, but not much as before, sometimes one cigarette a day, sometimes a few.
I understand that it is not easy for you; try to be aware of moments of panic and addiction and strengthen your decision. Good luck

At least now you have prepared yourself to quit it and we hope that you will be successful in your mission.

Yeahhhh congratulations. I spoke for 12 years now. So i know what do you mean. But you will be good. You can do it if that is really want you want. I have stopped for 6 months a couple of years ago. The most difficult part is the habit. Not even the need to have nicotine. You can do it David. Be strong.

@bescouted Some things are bigger than ourselves. 

Iow, most people who successfully never pick up another smoke, 

Your addiction falls along the line of any addiction...My name is @bescouted...I am a cigarette-addict; to which all will reply: Hi @bescoued ;+)!

With your coffee, may I suggest investing in some of the strongest peppermints on the market...Altoids is close. Everytime you want a smoke pop a mint. To fill the void from the smoke in your hand, keep a pencil handy or anything along that line.

Best regards on your new journey!

Remember, what's bad for you comes easy. It's doing the hard work of denying the flesh that is good for your body, the Holy Temple of God, long-term.

Peace.

All the best @bescouted - Just think of all the money you'll be able to plug into steem/crypto rather than giving it over to tobacco companies and the tax-man.

I've quit myself a few times and one thing that really worked for me was flipping the script and realising I wasn't 'giving up anything.' I was gaining so much - health, not stinking (clothes, home, breath), money, better taste and smell etc.. You #canquit

good luck, hard task. Now you get hooked and buy STEEM instead of cigarettes. ;)

Good luck to you, smoking is money and health consuming. I've tried quitting myself several times and I always came back to it. I tried doing sports to free my mind and not to think about smoking too much. It's now my 5th attempt of quitting and so far it's going well. 

I think the hardest part isn't quitting but rather not coming back to it!!!

Best of luck and keep in mind: you are stronger than the need of smoking.
