When the times right giving up smoking is easy. Dont let your brain fool you, it will play tricks and con you into having just one, its only one! I found playing tricks back on my mind worked, i would roll an imaginary ciggy so my brain recognised the motion of making a roll up, then i would smoke the imainary fag so i was breathing like i was when smoking, holding it in etc and have a bit of a cough, it worked my brain was just too confused to nag me about having a real one lol. But the gum worked for me, chewed like a mother for 2 months.

A close friend of mine gave up at same time as me and still smoked weed, he gave up nicotine for 4 months but started back smoking and he thought it best to never see me again rather than tell me he had started smoking again! Not seen him in nearly 4 years, the dick. Anyway the best thing when you give up smoking is when people tell you how to do it, having someone with a fag in their gob saying "what you want to do, right, is....."

What i would say is; millions of people have given up smoking, so it must be easy, are all them millions of people better than you?

I like your trick! I think that’s gonna’ help me.
Cheers!

I noticed the first thing people do with ecigs is smoke them like a ciggy, i think we get as addicted to the motion and breathing in a cigarette as we do to the nicotine. When people give up they give up the motion and the breathing as well. I would have imaginary fags everywhere, on the bus, in the pub and id even blow my disgusting lung vapours into peoples faces in enclosed spaces, here some russell toxins for you lol but strangely it helps a lot. I also carried round a letter i wrote to myself explaining why i wanted to give up and how i was feeling incase i forgot and the promise i made myself was if i was going to have a cigarette i just had to read the letter to myself first, it acted as sort of pace to defuse the situation and take a minutes time out before i smoked and remind myself why i had given up, that helped me once, i read it but lit a cig and had 2 drags but the words were still with me and i threw the cig away, didnt touch one since.

Keep it up @owenwat! I haven't smoked in 4 years now, but I do vape. Going to have to eventually stop this too, as it is getting to be a new habit. Stay with it!
