  • So, to cut a long story short. I decided it was time for me to give up smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol … so I done the only sane thing to do and that’s try and give BOTH up… at the same time !!!
    Well, three months later and I’m still going strong ! Can’t say it’s been easy!.. and there has been many ups and downs and there still is and will continue to be, but in general I feel way better for doing this !!
    Thank you for watching and thanks for checking out my channel!... it means a lot and I really appreciate it 👊🏻

    I packed up smoking in 2020, i picked the right time too, no one at bus stop, no one walking pass me smoking, no one outside where i worked smoking, yes it was a hard, but i tried smoking a vape didn't like it made me cough more than if i had a ciggy, and yes i put on some weight, but after a while the weight drop too, i found nicotine lozenges help me, I'm not a drinker, but think you did well doing the two together, well done Ben,

    If I could stop smoking vaping and smoking weed, I’d be so much happier, healthier and wealthier. I’m watching this with admiration and I hope by the end of video, you managed to totally quit. Kinda think it’s impossible to just stop both but by sound of title, I think you did it.

      Thanks for the kind words if I’m being completely honest …… the amount of beer I drank and the amount of tobacco I’ll go through, I honestly didn’t think I would be able to do more than a few days.
      But here I am nearly 4 months in and still going strong without any setback at all .
      I think the best thing I’ve done is told myself that it’s not forever , it’s just for now to save money and be healthier, I think if you plan to do it forever then you are fighting a massive psychological block already.
      Just take each day as it comes one by one and just keep moving forward .

    Wow Ben, you really are talented! Your video format is great and you definitely have the vibe of a much bigger full time You-Tuber, keep it up man I'm still watching while I type this comment. This is my problem with bud, on my first day and watching this, the one thing people never talk about is just how much change you go through, the anger, the irritation, and more. Working does help more but the battle is so invisible and easy to feel very lonely, but I am proud of you! Perfect video to start my sobriety to, have a sub big man

    Salute to you,for getting thru the first few days without falling back on the wagon💯.
    I'm kinda like you can give up drinking but the smoking its hard because it effects us more, we use just about all our senses smoking(smell, taste,sight,touch) it also effects my appetite at times, it great to see you and others like my self going thru similar obstacles and to see that it is possible to overcome them. 💯💯💯

      Thanks very much for the kind words… if I’m being completely honest I will have no choice but to throw the vape away as my throat is so sore and it can only be caused by the vape.

    Larger has alot of sugar in, sugar and nicotine are some the most addictive compounds, dont be hard on yourself for struggling with it, maybe find natural sugar options, and oral nicotine pouches then your reducing the harms of both and can wean yourself off overtime

    After 30 yrs i found nasal snuff. Then i was able to put the smokes down. Very impressive. Glad ur doin well amd happy. Vaping imo is NOT a good nic substitute. Your lungs a begging for a break

    Do you think if you didn't vape, then you were more likely to stock up on the baccy?
