Has anyone here given up smoking after many years? If so, how long did withdrawal last for?

Well, since I wrote this post, I am not broke or dead yet, but decided to stop smoking for good. Finishing reading the book &, fingers crossed, will be a non-smoker when we meet Mister



Thanks, it seems possible now as I want to stop smoking like a chimney! Fingers crossed

I can't wait to finally meet you next week. The anticipation is killing me!!

Unfortunately smoking is often associated with specific things that we do like having a cup of coffee, pint, after a meal......so for months afterwards these events would bring back an urge. Thankfully the strength of the urge got less over a few months. I was a heavy smoker 60 a day......usually had a cig before I got up in the morning with a cup of coffee....My method over 25 years ago without any aids was to cut down to 10 a day.......this provided long gaps in the day without a cig......then stopped altogether after 4/6 weeks.......Sometimes still dream I am smoking.......definitely a mind thing.......Its far too easy to tell yourself just one more and you will quit - this does not usually work.......good luck with any method you try

I recommend Allen Carr book. If you embrace the central argument, then the withdrawal pangs are minimal. In fact I have found the withdrawal pangs from lack of punting due to lockdown far harder to contend with. Thankfully that is about to end very shortly.
Best of luck to all currently battling with the weed addiction.

the only advice I can give is don't start vaping even worse than cigarettes full of chemical's. The only thing I smoke is a pipe twice or three times a day but don't start that either.

I'm sorry but your advice is misinformed at best and harmful at its extremes. Vaping is in no way comparable to smoking. To insinuate that it is disingenuous.

I stopped smoking by using vape tech. I spent three years on various vape devices. It was enough to convince my doctor, who originally told me it was time to quit, that vaping was a viable alternative.

but the other side of that is that nobody really knows the long term effects of vaping, anything containing chemicals has an inherent risk of some type, probably just as well to try and go cold turkey if possible or a gradual cut down in usage

Hooked on the nicotine gum now.
