cutting down to 1 cig per day

but you know this is just a symptom of a general decline in health. the smoking effects you speak of are just a symptom of your main problem

eat more beef fat do more exercise. cut out all plant oils. plenty of salt and good quality water.

eat one main meal a day and enjoy life and use it or lose it.

have a fry up at alteast two days a week

make sure it includes bacon sausage mushroom black pudding and eggs.

the first cig with a nice brew of your favourite tea and coffee after this is divine.

you will never quit this way

in fact this may even increase your uptake and you will smoke more and faster


allen carr is your friend. google it

Now I’m going to tell you what the hypnotist told my friend - who quit over a period of months from 2 1/2 packs a day and smoked 35 yrs

Don’t buy “your” brand

Ever again

There are studies to show you are addicted to the colors and logos too

As well as the special additive combo in it

Each purchase - you must buy a DIFFERENT BRAND

My friend purchased once a week

He got down to the odd colors of packaging - orange or neon or whatever

It took some of the expectations out

He smoked them - but much less

This took months

He ran out of other kinds

Bought filter less and organic

Then was ready to quit

It takes TIME to DETOX

Good luck

Make sure you take vitamin b and a couple grams of vitamin c a day since smoking depletes these. Hope you are successful. Anything is better than nothing.

Wow. That’s pretty good.

Quitting is easy. Done it a thousand times.

I get off work @ 11 pm. When. I get home, I usually have one cocktail, and smoke a bowl, and sit and make music. Once the muse is satisfied, I have one cigarette, and go to bed.

Been doing this for about 18 months since the woman moved out and took my little daughter.

Sometimes I don't even have the cigarette.

I had the same idea until my stupid doctor told me one cig was as bad as a whole pack - a catalyst for cancer in any quantity.

Interesting. People do get addicted to certain brands. I’ve put generic cereal in name brand boxes and no one could tell the difference. In the generic box they wouldn’t have touched it. I’ve done this with other things as well. Some things you can tell a difference but mainly it is psychological.

I stopped smoking about 18 years ago at the age of 35. I was experiencing my left hand little finger and that 1/3 of my hand would tingle, go numb and this would last about an hour a few times a month and was a regular occurrence the last year or so of my smoking.
I was also having chronic sore throat. The ear, nose and throat Doc asked me do you smoke? He then said if you stop smoking your throat will stop hurting...
When I stopped I could tell after 3 days my hands felt different and my throat did stop hurting.
My hands and fingers have never been numb again after I stopped. I can't say I feel better as I did gain weight and cigs would give me a boost but no more numb hands.

Don’t listen to that. One is definitely better than smoking more. And you will save money for other stuff.

That's how I quit, bought a juul. It is way easier and cleaner than analog cigs, lol. No fire, no ashes or trays.
I go through 1 pod every 2 days.

OP, I was a pack a day smoker from 17 to about 35 (now 44). I quit because I was sneaking out for cigs around my young kids.

Here's what worked for me: I stopped cold turkey, but about 2x a year I'll buy a pack and smoke 2-3 cigs then throw them out. For some reason I could never adjust to the thought of NEVER doing it again, so I smoke on occasion --like when I'm hanging with my old high school buds.

I do this with booze too.

I'd give your self one in the morning and one in the evening.

Establish that routine for 3 months.

Then quit.

It will be mostly effortless.

Bad week to quit smoking...with the Apocalypse and everything.

they put the chemicals in the paper

It's called moderation. Sounds like your body has told you how much it can handle in a day. That's what I'm banking on anyway. We're all going to end up with cancer. Might as well enjoy things in moderation as long as you can.

If you want to quit, quit.

Will power man.

Weaning doesn’t work with smoking.

You know how I quit - try the Viginia tobacco from Leaf Only - break it up in something like a electric coffee grinder, not too fine. And just roll one up old school style. You will realize that what makes cigarettes addictive is all the chemicals and added nicotine in commercial cigarettes.

Then you will be so disgusted with commercial cigarettes that you wont smoke them anymore. Also you will realize 100% is much more satisfying and you won't need to smoke so often.

Mix it with a little of their Turkish Tobacco.
