Hello Hubskiiers
If you are smoking, you should perhaps consider #stopsmoking. Else, good for you.
yeah I am restarting again. but so far so good.

Your not kidding. That was awesome. Watching it I literally felt like I was improving my health just based on the color/feel/vibe.
great dude! You're halfway through! I was a smoker for 15+ years. Addicted, could not live 1h without one. Stopped cold turkey 3 years ago. Best decision ever. Being a non smoker is so nice. Not being dependent is the best perk of all. It's like you're 20 again... Are you 20? Great you'll be a free 20, not one of those poor soul pretending to be hype, and just being addicted to the most useless drug of all.
You just have to be strong nicotine free for the next 36 hours.. it's NOTHING. After that it's just a bunch of psychological trigger, and bad habit too change.
Advices : 1/drink water 2/count every hour you're nicotine free, it flee by: in 36hours you'll be free. 3/change your habit a small way (e.g: drink 10 coffee cup a day with sugar? Stop the sugar) Man, your post is almost 1 hour old, you only have 35h left to stay strong.. and half of that you'll be sleeping.
Good luck! I finally kicked the habit and switched over to vaping Christmas of last year. Although I still get grouchy if I go to long (read: about two days) without nicotine, I haven't had an actual smoke in...wow it's been about 7 months. If anyone has any questions about vaping, I'd be happy to answer them. Again, best of luck! :)
I think complete abstinence from hand-to-mouth nicotine is right for me. I tried vaping in the past and I do not think I broke any of the main habits that have kept me smoking. But, different strokes for different folks, I wish I could say 7 months right now. My Achilles heal this past time was social drinking, basically I am a bit socially awkward and don't really like people IRL, I also get "claustrophobic" when I am inside too long. So, I was out at a bar with friends and I actually had to stay in the bar with them the whole time, I couldn't sneak outside for a break. I thought those breaks were all about the nicotine in the past, but no, it was also to sooth the asshole in me as well. So, I stepped out with some friends who were smoking and sure enough, a cig wound up in my mouth... I have to watch out for that. I think I am going to get some nicorette gum for my next bar adventure.
Best of luck hanszyme! I smoked tobacco for about 5 years, and stopped about a year and a half ago. It is actually wonderful to be tobacco-free! I'm so glad I did it, every time I come across smokers indulging in their habit, rather than being tempted I'm more disgusted than anything else. Back while I was smoking, just before I stopped, I had reached a point where I would chain-smoke 12 or 15 cigarettes in a row before bed. I would always feel like just one more, just one more. Looking back at it, I can't believe I did that. I had a horrible wheezing cough, I would lie in bed and as I was falling asleep I could feel my raspy scratching breath struggling in and out. When I woke up in the morning I could feel my chest 'scratching' as it moved, then once I had moved around a bit in the morning I would cough up some brown stuff. Eventually it got so bad I was having chest pains frequently. I couldn't smoke without pain, I would light a ciggie, take my first drag and a sharp stabbing pain would appear in my chest. It got so painful I couldn't smoke. I couldn't even have one puff without sharp chest pain. I didn't really decide to stop smoking, I was forced to because it was so painful, I actually couldn't smoke. I got myself a cheap disposable e-cigarette, it was still unpleasant on my throat and lungs but I could sate that smoking urge without intense pain. When it ran out, I didn't feel bothered about buying another one, I didn't crave it. I contemplated buying some more tobacco but the thought scared me, I knew I wouldn't be able to smoke it without pain. I haven't bought a pack since. In a way I'm actually glad I had that experience. Even though I've probably already permanently damaged my lungs, by getting so bad so quickly, I think it gave me a taste of what it would have been like decades down the line if I had continued smoking. Once or twice I've been offered a cigarette and accepted, but I don't enjoy it like I used to. I can't smoke tobacco now without feeling conscious of what it's doing to my body. I've felt how bad it can get and there is a real fear there. It's definitely stupidity on my part, having to actually experience that pain before the over-whelming amount of anti-smoking education could actually sink in, but then again if I was smarter I probably would never have started in the first place. And the money!! How much money did I spend on cigarettes in those 5 years? Probably enough for a car, more. It appals me now when I think about how much money I wasted. I am so glad I stopped smoking.
