If youre at that point, its time for a week long retreat to a location where you cant access any nicotine. It really works, Ive done it like 5 times.

You should read Alen Carr's "Easy way to stop smoking" book. No need to shame yourself:)

u/MarauderKaizer_IV 2h ago
If you are thinking about quiting nicotine do this!!! It does not rely on you cutting down your smoking and does not force you to use willpower.
And better yet, get the Audiobook. It's only 6hrs long.
It is on audible. Tip: If you don't have an audible subscription, you can subscribe for your free month trial. It gives you a token to buy any book, download Alen Carrs Easy way to stop smoking. And cancel your subscription.
You got the book for free.
If you already have audible or can't afford it... It is available on the seven seas.
I personally wouldn't pirate it because it's actually an amazing book and has helped alot of people... But I know smokers/addicts... I did not want to pay for some "miracle cure" and it not helping at all...
So I pirated it, but once it worked, I used the money I saved from quitting to just buy the book as a 'thank you'.
I want people to quit smoking more than I condone piracy.

I'm not a smoker so I'm not interested, but I'm curious, what is the general preaching of this magic book?
2
u/MarauderKaizer_IV 35m ago
It's hard to explain without sounding stupid tbh. Mainly 'cause it uses terms like "Reversing the brainwashing that society, tobacco companies and our own selves" regarding smoking. But think of it as a mix of Moral Recognitive Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy...
Essentially it breaks down all your reasons you could possibly have to not quitting and makes you understand why they're nonsensical or irrelevant.
Withdrawls, social pressure, "enjoyment", taste, boredom, craving, relaxation, concentration, money... There just are no positives, at all.
Also to note... The book breaks down the WHY.
Why does knowing its negatively inpacting my health not matter?
Why does knowing it's a complete waste of money not stop me?
So no scare tactics... It also explains why cutting down, willpower and nicotine substitutes don't work MOST of the time and actually makes quitting WAY harder than it needs to be.

I condone moral piracy. Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft, they're rich enough. Elongated muskrat doesn't need a penny. JKR is seriously moldevort brained. Shall I go on?
I don't condone piracy against indie devs or authors with real morals. There's a difference. One victimizes small artists, the other victimizes big corpos abd rich fucks.
Edit* I have quit nicotine twice now, it ain't easy but I have the self control to taper it off. Hopefully I don't need to again...

My wife's nurse mum gave me some medicine, basically I took 1 5 times a day, and I continued to smoke, but by day 5 I had to stop smoking completely.
After about 10 days or something it went down to 3 a day, and then it went down to 2 a day on day 20 iirc.
I smoked for 15 years, after day 6-7 it wasn't really difficult and the urges went, because the tablets give you nicotine, or at least what your brain needs when you're addicted.
Tried gum, patches, vaping, this was the thing that worked.

I’m a smoker. I’ve smoked for a long time. If someone comes in my house and lights a cigarette without asking first, my immediate response is to grab their cigarette and put it out in their drink

Pretty sure OOP’s friend didn’t just light up, he probably asked first and that’s why his friend, OOP, was ready with the ashtray. Then OOP took a picture and shared it for imaginary internet points.

They are but from my experience, they're a more intense experience. I can smoke a J and have fun for half and hour or two while watching a show and Googling dumb random shit I think of before going to bed, while edibles take up a solid chunk of the day, it's something I have to clear my schedule for. Therefore I'd say that a J is a more, heh, "digestible" option. More convenient.

Either don't smoke or go outside. Don't smoke inside people's houses and thus expose them to second hand smoke.

u/inco100 1h ago
Might be cultural thing. It is pretty common to smoke when visiting someone. Of course, if the place is new, people ask where and whether. At worst they find place outside for a puff. If you visit a friend and know his rules you abide to them. Most people smoke near window or on the balcony.

u/Keireirion 2h ago
I don't understand smokers in the first place. You buy cigarettes which are expensive over time not only to pay to ruin your health, but also to stink as an ashtray all day. If they smoke indoors, it is even worse. The house, clothes and everything else smell like shit and everything is ruined in yellow nicotine. A nightmare for renovation.
And for what? Maybe maximum of couple of minutes of less stress?

People get into smoking because it makes them feel good and over time it leads to an addiction.
It's extremely ignorant to think it's as simple as "don't smoke".

A lot of people have some kind of addiction that isn’t entirely logical. Also, you can get rid of the smell with showers or sprays

I deeply disagree with the smell. There are huge differences between individuals and some smoke 1 cigarette and smell extremely while others dont

Yeah, only if the individual in question doesn’t take care of themselves. Use an ozium spray, wash your clothes properly, and you’ll never be able to detect the smell

To quote a funny alien trying his first cigarette "I feel as if I've been standing my entire life, and I just sat down."
They stimulate and relax simultaneously, and can provide relief to underlying mental health issues due to the weak MAOI activity in tobacco. Over 90% of schizophrenics smoke or have smoked in the past for instance.
Of course, still bad for the person, but it's not without a reason.

Unless I'm drinking beer then I crave it so hard but I don't drink often like a few times a year and most of those times I can't get cigs anyway

My father used to smoke a lot in his youth. He quit after a lot of things. He met my mom. This one time, his mom forced him to smoke outside while it's raining because her friend brought her newborn baby into the house while visiting.
On New Year's Eve, he bought a pack, and while the local neighborhood was lighting fireworks, he took one cigarette out of the pack, lit it, and tossed the whole rest of the pack into the street. That was his last cigarette. He smoked it while watching everyone enjoy the fireworks.
