Electronic cigarettes are what did it for me. I looked into it, found that 90% of the information online is fake and planted, and so went to a local smoke shop and talked to the guys for a while. They suggested a brand, and I tried it out. I haven't smoked a cigarette in almost five months.

The craving is still there, but it's far gone enough that I'm ok with the ecig. The gross factor of cigs is enough for me to abstain entirely now.

Go go Catz! It sounds like you're not putting too much pressure on yourself. That's the best way to ensure success. Don't stress yourself out about it. Good job man!

This is very true for any habit. Particularly weight loss.

Could you please elaborate on this ? Like doing a run just for the sake of it and not running because you want to lose weight ?



Weight loss, Like quitting smoking is a decision that you will only take when you are 100% ready.When your mind and Body is ready, it just happens.

quick fixes like Low Carb diets, intense exercise regimes, weight loss supplemants ect. They almost never work. The reason weight loss is so difficult for most people, is they just arent ready to actually make the sacrifice, the discomfort and have the willpower to do it. So they cheat their diets, or gorge themselees on healthy food, and dont make better choices.

So when he says, people decided to quit, and are just ready to quit. Its successful its because they have come to terms with what they need to do.

Quitting smoking and losing weight are not alot different. Its about a lifestyle change, and sacrifice. For me it really only took 2-3 weeks of struggling before I got used to my new exercise/diet regime. After that, the weight peeled off, despite trying to lose weight for years. Now I have no problem keeping the weight off because my mindset is different.

I never really realized how bad I was eating until I stopped doing it. So after portion control, healthy choices, and small amounts of exercise, I lost something like 40 pounds in 16 weeks, and another 15 in the next 20 weeks. Exercise is really only about 20% of weight loss. Diet control is the rest. When you are ready to make the change, I mean really ready, it will happen, it wont be that difficult. Until that mindset hits, you will struggle. Smoking is no different.

Finally somebody that doesn't say "oh it's just about nicotine". Nope. The hardest part is doing something else. I had no shakes, no nothing. I just didn't have anything to do. That was the hardest part. I'm out now for two years. Gonna stay that way. Don't miss it a little bit.
Good luck.

Did it ever occur to any of you that not a single person in the existence of humanity ever started smoking because they liked it?

People start smoking because they can't resist group pressure.

Yeah, quite sad. I know.

I smoked for about 4 years while I was in the military/deployed. I told myself I was going to quit when I got out, and I did. Oddly enough, it wasn't that hard at all for me, so I can't relate to all the people who say it is hell. It probably helped a lot that I wasn't around any other smokers when I got out though.

I wish you luck CatZ. It's a smelly and expensive habit.

One thing I will say that helps is: look for new experiences. Whenever you smoke a cig, there's an opportunity cost of x amount of time that it takes you to smoke it. You could be spending that x amount of time doing something else. Now think of some things you'd like to do and go do them instead.
Please PM me with any songs you like that you think I haven't heard before!

GOod luck, dude. I switched from cigarettes to snus. As soon as I get the money, I'll be switching from that to eCig. Friend of mine succesfully managed to stop smoking due to that.

Basically you are saying "People quit when they quit" which is true by its own definition but not helpful at all.

Actually I was saying people quit when they have the emotional readiness and mindset to quit. The reason most people fail at diets or quitting smoking is because somewhere in their mind they are not fully behind the change in lifestyle (they cheat). When they are ready, it happens.
