I still feel awful after quitting tobacco. I have anxiety atm. At least my hands are not shaking anymore. It’s rough but I have to keep going. ---

You will start feeling less cravings and anxiety as time goes on. It took me like 5 different quit attempts before it stuck, and I STILL chew the nicotine gum. It’s better that you get all of it out of your system. I believe in you!! ---

Yeah, my dad has cancer. I’m pre-diabetic and need to make lifestyle changes. I didn’t know that tobacco can cause diabetes until I read about it. Now I’m here! ---

Don’t give up! I truly believe you can do this. I quit so I know it’s hard and I had to try multiple methods before I found the one that worked for me. Regardless, I haven’t had a cigarette since 2015. Don’t give up!!! ---
