I've been smoking a pack a day since i was 12. I'm definitely going to die when I'm 50 if I don't quit.

However, I love to smoke. It is so glorious. I feel like my dick is being sucked by a magical demon who inserts heroin into my dick as she sucks and pulls me further and further into the pleasant abyss (ala Louis Ck.)

My doc prescribed Wellbutrin but it doesn't work at all. How do I actually quit gibbis?

Wellbutrin made me want to kill myself.
So I did. I'm much happier now.

Transition slowly from smoking to General Snus. White portion, original. Then go to minis or some poo poo. Then get a stupid vape stick and go to non nicotine. OR just quit being a bitch and fix your life with less than 6 slow steps, either way is better than smoking

well OP, i'm in the exact same boat (even on that wellbutrin script), but it seems like at this point there are only two possible options. take CHANTIX which violently re-wires your brain into quitting, which unfortunately also carries a very real suicide risk while being wildly effective otherwise, or wait until some extreme smoking related health catastrophe forces you to take serious action in your life.

its a problem tho because for real

Everything you love about smoking is a lie. The rewards only exist due to your addiction. Make a list of all the reasons you want to quit smoking (it's easy to make a looong list) and keep it with you. Read your list whenever you want to smoke. Your addiction makes you rationalise all of the reasons why you want to smoke, so you need to have a physical reminder of the reasons why you actually want to quit. Be prepared to feel like crap for a few weeks and don't be a pissbitch.

Here is me after quitting smoking and allowing myself to gain a poo poo load of weight.



I was already 300 pounds when i quit, that picture is me at 350.

This is me today.



Until you are committed to that level of willpower, just keep smoking.

When you're ready, you'll know it.

Holy gently caress! you're me! I quit about 9 months ago and my appetite has been out of this world, and I'm the same size and everything. Now that I got smoking kicked, gotta stop being a fatass, or at least go back to being a scary fatass.

[edit]As far as how I quit, I quit my smoking of 23 years by just simply stopping cold turkey. I was so sick of smoking that I decided to quit.

poo poo is gross and I felt like a hillbilly, but it's seriously the only thing that worked for me. I was a pack a day for around 15 years. Started using snus and it completely killed any craving I had for smoking. After awhile, I quit the snus, which was remarkably easy. Nicotine free for about 7 years now.

I am addicted to sunflower seeds now, though.

It wasn't until after some time of having quit smoking that I realised how disgusting people who smoke can smell just right after having had a cigarette. I don't know how I ever thought people didn't notice me having smoked.

You look great, congrats!

Anyway, smoking is the name of my existence. If there is an addiction gene, I've got the addiction version of Klinefelters. Everything I touch I become wildly addicted to, ramping up my intake until it's reached absurd levels. When I drank, I started with a martini a night until I was going through a 1.5L a day of vodka starting with breakfast.

Anyway, I started smoking when I was 11 or 12 by stealing my mom's Virginia Slims, and now I'm up to almost 4 packs a day. It's gross and expensive and everybody looks down on you when you smoke. I have young nephews and if I ever saw one of them take it up they're getting a good nut punching.

I feel fine, but my dad died at 58 from CPD, his feet completely black. Horrible. He also spent lots of time in coal mines in his 20's because he invented a tube system that went down into the mines and exchanged air with the outside. So who knows which it was.

I'd love to not be a smoker and at the same time I just can't imagine not being a smoker.

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
Same, op. I really need to quit but it is so drat good. The alcoholism in my family didn't take but I am hella addicted to smoking. If smoking sucked and tasted terrible I'd be able to stop with comparative ease but it owns so much. And it's real cool also, of course.

Just get a vape. Don't buy the poo poo disposables or the cheap starter kits. They'll break down and you'll just go buy more cigs. Drop $125-150 or so on a good unit and some 8mg liquid. Next time you buy liquid get 6mg. Then 4, then 2, then 0. You can sell your vape afterwards and recoup some cost.

I wasted so much more money on other methods trying to stop but this taper worked, after I went through about 3 lovely vape pens that leaked and failed. Just don't cheap out on a lovely one because it's gonna break and you'll find yourself in the car on the way to the gas station.

Vaping sucks though. It's not nearly as good as blowing tubes and it's not cool at all. Idea rejected.

building vape coils is therapeutic for me at least, i get a pretty good sense of accomplishment using power tools and poo poo to make my coils look all fancy and all that hard work and a sick cloud with 40 smoke rings afterwards is satisfying plus it tastes like strawberries

I bought one of those stupid Blu starter kits that has the pack that charges the cigarette. It never broke, but I just couldn't do it. It tasted like a cigarette, felt like a cigarette, but as soon as I smoked it I wanted a real cigarette. It was the damndest thing.

You just gotta think of vaping as wearing braces. Looking like a dork for a while to achieve greatly improved quality of life is worth it. I don't know any former snaggletooths who regretted getting braces.

10000x this. i smoked probably 1.5 to 2 full packs a day of marlboro or camel reds a day while i was in the navy and even the max nicotine levels i could get out of a vape didnt stop me from hitting the nearest open store for a fresh pack of cowboy killers

Did you get the max nicotine available in the disposables or drip liquid from a shop?

The place I went to goes up to 28mg nicotine before they start cautioning you, a couple pulls of it and I'd get light headed and I was around 1.5 packs a day.

I think the Blus are typically like 6mg.
