How Do I Quit Smoking by BigSarah(f): 4:24pm On Jan 17, 2023
I'm not a regular smoker or chain smoker, but during harmattan I always have the strong urge to smoke.
At least 1 pack a day, from Dec 26th till February, this has been my routine for 3 years now..
I don't smoke any other time of the year, is this normal, and how much risk am I putting myself through.

PS: my mouth is healthy tho, always hydrate.

It takes the Grace of God oh...

I was a notorious Coca-Cola addict, I can guzzling 4 big size of coke in 20mins, but when the woman selling it for me insulted me by throwing the money at my face, saying I consume too much coke like a hopeless bricklayer, She gave me one big watermelon for free.... I went home that day feeling sad.

That was when the shackles holding me with coke was broken.

It's either I get Predator Energy Drink or Chi Exotic.

God will help you overcome it.

Determination. It's a tough addiction to arrest though.

We try popsicle vapes 0% nicotine, fall back to 3% clear nicotine, and then back to 5% clear nico

I just realized you're supporting Atiku... They're all nasty smokers.

If only you channel your support to Peter Obi, you won't be battling such addiction.

No I think it's the heating up and mental distraction of the smoke that draws me towards cigars I think.

Not the thrill of nicotine, pseudoephridrine Is my jam tho.

You will get tired of it.

DON'T try to just STOP, if you do you will see a barrage of temptations.

It is not easy to quit smoking. After all, there are countless smokers around the world who have tried and failed to quit this habit at least once. Once you have taken your first puff, there is no turning back. Some are addicted to the nicotine in the cigarettes while others have taken to the mechanical motions of lifting and putting the cancer stick into ther mouths. If you are a smoker, you will understand how lifeless you feel when you haven’t been able to satisfy your craving for a cigarette, but do you know the exact reason why this happens?

Consider Nicotine Replacement Therapy

When you stop smoking, nicotine withdrawal may give you headaches, affect your mood, or sap your energy. The craving for "just one drag" is tough. Nicotine replacement therapy can curb these urges. Studies show that nicotine gum, lozenges, and patches improve your chances of success when you're also in a quit-smoking program.

There are other methods as well that are available on the Dysh app if you're interested here the link https://instagram.com/dyshmedia?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I agree.

I started smoking since before Uni. Years after graduation and in key employments I continued to smoke until I just told myself someday, guy you gotta stop this. Guess what?, I pulled out my pack from inside the car, rumpled it and threw it away, till today. I used to buy cigs in rolls. I still drink and sit among friends who smoke. I used to be their plug way back, but no more.

Hi BigSarah, I can talk u into quitting if u want. But be prepared to hear a little of religion from time to time.

It may sound very difficult, but if you quit associating with people who smoke, it will go a very long way in helping you overcome your addiction. Replacing one habit with a better one is another helpful alternative. Do it for the sake of your health my dear friend. You have my best wishes!✌️
