Quitting smoking/vaping

[Death2u]

Smoked for about 15 years. Bought some LnB from the shop, said **** this and threw them straight in the bin outside. Bought a bunch of hardboiled sweets and quit cold turkey. It took maybe two weeks for the cravings to go away but even after 15 years smoke is still the best smell ever.

I quit smoking at least 3 times until I done it for good. My advise is you must have a great reason to quit (the more reasons, the better), always remember your reasons and just hold on in the first month to the urge of using any tabaco! If you keep a straw in your mouth or anything similar to your old habits, I'd say would only be harder for you.
In short, have great will and get it done. I quit now since 7 years and still liking the smell of burning cigars, but will never use, ever!

been reading this since the first post the other day and i'd said to myself a few times "yea i probably should"

I have tried a few times before but i don't even find it to be the cravings but more the routine. Not sure if that makes sense but a good example is smoking after eating.

Habits are harder to kick than change to routine mate. It you can kick the habit, you can change your routine.

I'm kinda autistic so routines feel way harder to kick

Ah fair enough. Still possible, just going to take much more effort.

I thought yesterday was bad, today I could murder somebody. I've resorted to buying patches because I feel like exploding with nothing at all.

Good luck bud. I haven't tried to stop but I assume you will need to look at your triggers and plan for a substitute in the early stages.
Hard sweets/mints etc

Proper "Trebor" Extra Strong Mints is what got me through quitting smoking. Went through alot of packets to begin with, but slowly decreased how many I was having over a short period of time. Also black coffee if the mints dont work during a craving.

Just my advice on what helped me when I did it. Its all trial and error buddy. What worked for us might not work for you. So just stay strong and try a **** tone of different things. I wish you the very best of luck. Not that you will need it tho, if you are determined enough

Patches seem to be working well and my local council offer free support so I'm getting 12 weeks of patches and lozenges for free. Fingers crossed I'll be nicotine free in a few months
