rotor posted:quitting smoking is easy. Just dont smoke any more. Dont put a cigarette in your mouth and light it. Pretty straightforward really. this is horrible advice and won’t work for most people. unless you fix the thinking that drives you to do it there is a very high relapse of, iirc, 90%. the physical addiction part of smoking is relatively easy to kick, it’s all the bullshit “good things” smokers believe about it will drive them back to it. it doesn’t calm you down, that’s just staving off of the current withdrawals. there’s nothing magic about the after sex or dinner cigarette, it’s just you didn’t smoke for longer than usual. that high feeling you get after you didn’t have one for a while is oxygen deprivation and you can just hold your breath instead if you particularly enjoy it smoking is the continual, expensive, deadlyl pursuit of feeling normal like people who don’t smoke at all shitface fucked around with this message at 11:22 on Aug 17, 2023 |

ok, seriousposting about smoking but I swear I’m not one of those ex-smokers who tut and roll their eyes. i couldn’t give a poo poo about someone else smoking and I don’t even really care about passive smoking. after 30 years of chain smoking, I don’t think a whisp of someone else’s is what’s gonna get me with that said, if even one person reading this feels in the grip I’m telling you have to fix your head on it before you even try putting down the last one. it’s horribly addictive and mind altering, even from the first one, and it’s not helping you one bit.

OldAlias posted:it’s funny how wrong you are in this post, that I’m thinking it either must be a bit or bait, or mb you’re more sheltered than normal you choked your rear end off on your first cigarette. everyone does. 10,000+ later you’re convinced it was a whale of a time. this is the hosed up poo poo smokers tell themselves that ensure that they will never stop. nicotine is like that tng episode where everyone walks around cumming in the turbolift with their AR headsets on

OldAlias posted:nah it was smooth as hell and delicious, I was transported straight to flavour town. It was the most enjoyable cig I had just on its own, before I permanently tainted my brain with other substances at least Sure. Out of curiously, how long ago was that?

OldAlias posted:how long ago was what? my first cig I was 15 in Italy, I think in the city of Perugia. I bummed a malboro red from a friend, it was absurdly delicious and felt better than it had any right to. I ended up buying packs of lucky strikes and gauloises, the latter of which was one of my goto brands for a while as I could get em in Canada k. if you’re happy with it, i’m ok with it. I’m really only trying to speak with people who hate it and want to stop. I hated it but could never give it up until I stopped lying to myself about why I did it. It doesn’t help, not at all. Once you’re addicted, the best you can do is quelling the addiction (or understanding it, realizing it’s ultimately pointless and just not doing that) shitface fucked around with this message at 17:09 on Aug 17, 2023 |

echinopsis posted:I offer nicotine replacement products (NRT) to people NRT is the worst. if there's one group you can count on less for your health than big tobacco, it's big pharma. a typical cigarette has 1-1.5 mg of nicotine and if you buy gum the typical advice is "do you tend to smoke within 30 minutes of waking? (which is pretty much every smoker of any degree) Then you should start on 4mg gum". That's 3-4 cigarettes first thing in the morning. A surefire cure for nicotine addiction right there the physical addiction to nicotine is over in 1-3 days. those days can kinda suck, no doubt. fix your head first and they are the last days you're a slave to this poo poo. the last time you delay getting ready for dinner/gym/whatever so you don't smell like poo poo. the last time you wheeze your way up a gentle hill. the last time you stress the poo poo out of your heart for absolutely no benefit. my average resting heart dropped 15 bpm 2 weeks after quitting. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)
