Oh it totally is. I can’t stand the smell anymore. If you recall I had a tutoring job (with elementary school kids) for a couple years, that I mentioned here, and if I was still a smoker I would not have accepted it. Not gonna expose kids to that smell, it’s not ethical. ---

Bought a vape, need something to alleviate the biggest cravings. I usually take this set of actions when quitting. Cigarettes followed by intermittent vaping. Has worked for long periods of time, upto 2 months was the longest. ---

Don’t give in. You’ll get cravings periodically for a long time. That’s how they get you. ---

I won’t. I think coffee taste reminds me of cigarettes as I would have them in tandem. I’m deffo not gonna cut out coffee. Just gonna ride it out I guess. ---

Almost two weeks now since I quit. Been feeling cravings all day, the body is weird like that, haven’t had cravings for a bit but now they’re running rampant. Must resist this torture. ---

I find even though I stopped smoking years ago I still dream about them…then when I wake up I am so relieved I didn’t start again…I stopped with the nicotine gum. ---

Why are you still having cravings after 18 days? That’s disheartening… are you using NRT ? ---

Cravings can happen any time, long after you quit. Im not using gum or patches or anything, just raw dogging it. When I made that post I had a really bad day at work that made me rather angry. Anger=cigarette craving Edit: also, dont feel disheartened, you can’t base your own perceptions of how you’ll fare during the quit on other people’s experience. ---

I am so sick of these cravings man. They are relentless. Not sure what triggers them but I think coffee could be one of the things. But I’m not giving that up.
