What age did you quit smoking?
How many did you smoke per day?
Did you quit cold turkey or use aids?
Was it extremely hard, a bit hard? For how long?
Thanks in advance! I want to quit thats why im asking. Dr wont give me champix / meds cos of suicide risk
I quit smoking after 32 years…i smoked a pack a day and supplemented the cigarettes with the vape. I quit about 3 years ago by chewing the nicotine gum…i still chew it every day but it’s cheaper than cigs. Quitting was hard but since quitting my pulmonary function tests have improved.
I have quit long term twice. Once cold turkey and more recently with chantix briefly combined with nicotine gum. I quit the chantix and after the first filling of prescription ran out and did gum for a bit. I still have a bit of gum once in awhile when I feel I need it but am getting close to eliminating it.
37 yrsvold. Switched to vapingbthen quit vaping.
Ive been off and on cigarettes for years. Keep switching between the nicotine gum for a few weeks then smoking for a bit then switching back to the gum. I really want to quit nicotine completely. So hard ay! I get extreme anger problems when i get off nicotine. Even just by getting off the chewy.
But if i could just withstand the few weeks of withdrawal, I’d be free of it.
I have never smoked before, but my dad did. I kind of drink, but not often and prefer small amounts. My parents are afraid I will become alcoholic because they’re always watching out for me. Also, they think I’m a shopaholic but I don’t think I am but I’m the only one in my family that likes to shop.
I get angry without cigs jeez i dont think i can quit either its the hardest thing ever lol
Its deffs possible! Dont give up hope. We can do iiiiit! 
I like your optimism but im not strong when it comes to cigs and things, im like no good lol
Hmm true that. I seem to be an all or nothing kinda person. Im either being super healthy and postitive or im actively screwing up my life completely. I think its the bipolar part of my schizoaffective disorder haha.
Yes sounds like you know your illness well, bipolar side of it does have those types of things
I find my quiet borderline mood shifts make it hard to stick with things and when im triggered i chain smoke
Idk i could maybe cut down, have gum and cigs?
Yeah it really does work. The gum. It doesnt hit you like a cig in the morning but it takes the craving away for a cig. And if you get a nice good quality pack of high strength gum and a nice flavour. It really helps a lot.
Or you can even use a couple of different nicotine replacements like gum and patches or mouth spray and lozenges or whatever you like for the first while when getting used to not breathing in smoke. I dunno if youve tried that stuff before or not but it really does work. Best way to do it is have it first thing in the morning instead of a smoke. If i switch over half way through a day of smoking it doesnt really help me as much.
I havent had a ciggie in 2 weeks now. So much better for ya. 
Thankyou for sharing your experience i will try that @AussieSchiz take care and well done
Thats great @WhiteRaven really good and @SzSupportAdmin your doing well too!
Well I started smoking age 15 until this day where I’m 57 and never stopped. I used to smoke 70 but now I smoke just 40 cigarettes daily.
I’m planning to smoke Til The Kingdom comes.
@see121 if shopping makes you happy then theres nothing wrong if your managing not to get into debt
once you start the gum…that’s it…no smoking in between unless you wait over two hours after a piece of gum…or it could mess deeply with your heart.
Thanks @jukebox will be careful to leave it a few hrs then
@roxanna hey well done 37 yrs is amazing, good age to quit smoking etc
Yes, but I spend mostly on apparel or accessories. It’s best to invest in stocks or save.
Mmm… idk i cant afford to save much atm. We gotta live
