Any advice for quitting smoking?

[Zevier]

Finished the last cigarette in my pack just a few minutes ago, thought to my self I might give quitting a shot since I'm starting a course early next year so that I can become a Personal Trainer.

Anyone a previous smoker? I'm only 17 turning 18 but I've been smoking half a packet since the age of 15 years old so it won't exactly be easy for me to quit but I want to give it a shot, just wondering if any previous smokers have advice on how to quit, I've made smoking a bad habit and routine.

Everyday that I wake up I go for a smoke, everytime that I finish a meal I go for a smoke, everytime I get into an argument with my parents or girlfriend I have a smoke so everytime one of these things happen throughout the day I'm going to be craving it which I think is going to be the hardest part.

Aint nothin to it but to do it. But seriously never be bored because that will probably be the first thing you want to do is smoke, at least thats how it was with weed for me but thats not really hard to stop.

simply dont start, i dont understand why people do it. it smells, its gross, it expensive, and most of of it kills you

Convince yourself it's pointless, aware yourself of how much damage you're doing to yourself, and just stop.
Probably hard, I wouldn't really know because I don't smoke lol, but I hope you can do it

But hes already started....Do those nicotine gums/patches work?

Well it's a bit to late for that, I completely agree that smoking is gross, expensive and smells but I was dumb enough at 15 to get caught up in it all, everyone was smoking and graffiting, it was just the thing to do at the time at School and I fell into that peer pressure and I feel like a douche for it now.

I'm trying to change now and yeah the patches work but are more expensive than even cigarettes and also damage your body bar the lungs from the nicotine, I'm going to try cold turkey.

Invest in electronic cigarettes to help your cravings bro. Good luck!

[LITTLE_FINGER]

your a massive ******* please rape your own face

you have to stop cold turkey
put pictures of people in hospital from smoking etc
take up a new hobby in place
man up or fuk off

Hey man, I'm 17 as well, and I know its hard. I've been smoking since I was 14, and I've gotten up to a pack and a half a day. There is honestly no secret to quit, its will power, and since you only smoke a half of a pack a day, I recommend just cold turkey quitting. The first week is the hardest, trust me. after the 2nd week, you will feel great, you will be able to taste food again, lmao. Ive been tobacco clean for 4, going on 5 months, from cold turkey quitting. All it takes it a little will power man, you got it.

[NDonhoff93]

stop. man up or **** off works. props to little finger.

[Zevier]

Thanks for the inspiration CraZdOOd and LITTLE FINGER, I like your attitude haha, hopefully I'll be saying the same thing to other people once I've curved the cravings and quit.

And I agree that cold turkey is the best, because it's hard but so is anything else in life that you're trying to get over or achieve, my willpower and dedication can only benefit in the long run if I can quit and prove to my self that I can do it which will help with other aspects like weights training.

[Bulinski911]

i quit by replacing smoking with dip and gradually lowering how much dip i used

[NewYorkGiants24]

Bro did you even notice my post? Lol I'm only trying to help you out.

[CraZdOOd]

That's a great way to look at it man, and no problem for the advice, good luck to you man. If you can quit smoking, you can do just about anything.

[Zevier]

Bro did you even notice my post? Lol I'm only trying to help you out.

Lol I've heard about them but I would rather give up the whole game together without the gimmicks or other products to help me, I have to beat it on my own.

Well if you could do that then good for you. But if cold turkey was that easy for you I doubt you would have made this thread right? But do whatever you have to do and goodluck.

[Valhalla8]

You obviously have the willpower and determination in you if you're into the bodybuilding scene, just man up and do it! I don't smoke and I'm sure it's very difficult to stop, but you obviously have the willpower to get it done.

[PapaHitler]

I quit cold turkey. Withdrawal sucks but u'll get over it. U can try smoking 305s they're so nasty u just might get cancer the next day and be inspired. Who knows?

LITTLE_FINGER man u cant just say man up when u r addicted and fiend all you think about is how to get a smoke and ive even started to shake its hard to quit

[cannon44]

last thing your gunna wanna do is smoke an electronic cig. im assuming your parents are against smoking, therefore making you pick and choose where you can smoke. all an e cig will do is give you the opportunity to smoke wherever, and theyre usually decently loaded with nicotine.

Yes you can... Thats the way I quitted... You got to see it as a will power challenge...

I tried quitting many times and failed, but when I started seeing it as a will power challenge, I just couldnt let that little piece of paper with tobaco defeat me... I havent smoked in almost 2 years since then

[str8nutty]

switch to chewing..
you atleast dont smell like **** all day.

from what you said it sounds like your not even @ a pack a day? quit being a pussy n stop buying them.

[Nemmies]

get those blu cigs that are electronic vapor nicotine haha.
i saw a guy smoking a cig and then walk into the gym the other day. I normally dont care what other people do but this just seemed to push my buttons a little

[thehybridpyro]

every time you wanna smoke, catch yourself and ask if you really want/need it

[blackraneZ2]
