health How Can I Quit Smoking?

[loboc]

Twice na din ako nag cold turkey kaso nagrerelapse ako e. I think yung environment and lack of support system ang problema ko. Need talaga ng matinding determination to.

Dang, good luck bro, malaking factor ang motivation talaga siguro sinwerte lang rin ako kasi nanawa na rin ako + nagkaron ako ng bagong interest/hobbies

switching to vape worked for me. switched to vaping 2017, then eventually fully quit by 2019.

It's a matter of mindset, anything that has addictive effects are almost impossible to stop. In order to quit from something you may have to look for another thing that can probably divert your attention. Best of luck!

Take your time.

Transition vices
e-cigarette > nicotine gum > quit

Or practice self-control
Reduce your smoking by 1 cigarette per week/month until it's zero. Start by eliminating the "extra" smokes (the 1 more smoke after smoking), then the punctuation smokes (after sex), the comfort smokes (after eating), then the stress smokes (when you're stressed).

You can also make smoking inconvenient once you're further along your journey.

Keep the smokes in the car or in an inconvenient place in your house with the lighter in a separate room or compartment in your car.

You got this brad. Set a time-frame and take it slow. One thing I learned with I am Sober app is not to rush things kasi pag hindi sustainable method mo you'll end up going back again. Try mo siguro nic gums or other things that can satiate your hand to mouth fixation

I agree with this. If you really want to stop ititigil mo talaga yan eh. I don’t know sa iba pero kung magttaper ka lang, like from 10 sticks per day to like 2 sticks per day ng cigarettes,  you’re still feeding that habit parin pero in smaller quantities lang. So if you reallt want to quit just stop. Pero again it is easier said than done. Pero kahit anung method pa yan, meron parin yan difficulty. Siguro mind set nalang din? Pero this is just my opinion hehe.

Cold turkey worked for me.
