cutting down to 1 cig per day

I switched from one before bed to a nice organic tobacco packed in a pipe.

I change the pipe filter every 2-3 bowls. Tastes better and the whole action of cleaning/packing/smoking is nice

Get the nicotine gum.

Good luck

One a day will become 2, then 3, then 5...
Then you'll be back to 3 packs a day,
like I was.

cool! going to look into some pipes too

what effects of smoking are you feeling?

My favorite so far is: Peterson of Dublin's Nightcap blend

The smell from the tin itself is heavenly

:^) good luck pal

30+ years smoking rolling tobacco. i still smoke the same amount as i did all those years ago.

and i've never smoked that much

the most i smoke in a day is 12, never more

and i feel like shit if i smoke 12 in a day

many days i can smoke 5 to 7 depending on what all i have going on

it's possible, it's just willpower

think of the natives, they smoked tobacco but not all day

they occupied their time doing other stuff

i think it's just more an effort of finding stuff to do

also holding the cig in your hand and pretending to smoke it helps

dull pains in back and chest

coughing bouts in the morning

tingling in arms and legs from lack of circulation

i do yoga and jog and it does bring relief

but then its just too much smoke and too harsh on the lungs

...don't bogart that cig.

my wife somehow can smoke 2 cigs a day and be fine

i'm the one who wants to keep smoking all day

she also breaks each cig up into 3 , putting them out and coming back to them

If you can sustain one a day buy some organic cigarettes and try to get off the tobacco completely. You won't even want more than one organic a day. I have maybe one a month now. They kick like a cigarette if you haul hard enough. I bought five packs of nirdosh off amazon I still have most of them.

you have probably built a thick layer of something in your lungs

iron lung

i smoke these

before that it was american spirit but these are cheaper though

40+ for me many days

I think I might feel it?

Thinking about trying patches probably will need 2 to start

no, nothing like that going on. just normal healthy lungs. i cycle over 20 miles every day. most of the time i have a smoke during the bike ride. i don't find it's a problem. i think people are confused, smoking doesn't make it hard the breath. the opposite happens. it's a bronchodilator.

do you sit on your backside too much?

Was about to write something similar but you nailed it.
Move to organic tobacco and from there it’s easy to stop complete. Although with moderation there is nothing wrong with smoking.

Have you tried vaping? I used to smoke gave up due to health reasons. I’ve never tried vaping, looks messy?

As a past smoker I say best of luck to you but why torture yourself? As Yoda would say, “Do or do not. There is no try.”
I knew one girl years ago who smoked only one cig per day, so she says.

I work with a guy who has always bragged and tells the story to anyone who will listen how he smokes (2) cigs a day, One in the morning and one as he returns from work.
I caught this same guy sneaking one behind the shop when he thought his secret was safe.

I personally feel cigs are doctored somehow to make us all smoke exactly 20 cigs a day.

I tried cutting back, it was torture so I just had to stop.
3 days of hell, 3 weeks of moderate hell then 3 months of wanting one then 3 years of thinking about it.

When I got my head right that I could deal with anything for 3 days then 3 weeks it was not as hard as I thought...

yea that explains it

anytime i go for a jog i feel my lungs open up and a lot of body pains and tingling go away

i also feel the medical industry is a giant sham

my issue is i'm too lazy to go for a jog everyday

more like a 2 times a week person with some yoga

smoke up, johnny!

i think you know the answer.

well try a more natural smoke

i don't feel it's torture at all

unless you are hooked on some other chemical they are putting in modern cigs

i usually smoke too much because i'm bored not because i'm actually craving a cig all day

but i smoke this brand called "aura" they are supposedly without additives, just water and tobacco.

they burn totally different than your other brands, your marlboros, parlaiments, newports

i'm convinced it's the chemicals that have people really hooked

only smoke additive free or organic.

exercise more or smoke less

i'll take the second one

no filter. the fibres are seriously harmful.

There's huge value in getting off the nicotine completely, I found at least. It's been about a year now.
