The worst part about quitting for me was the feeling of loss. Like a part a part of my being was gone and i had nothing to replace it with. I feared this feeling would last for ever. I have good news for you trying to quit, the feeling doesn't last forever. A day will come when you go to bed and notice you haven't thought about smoking the whole day and you don't feel empty inside. When this day arrived for me i just laughed abit to my self and thought, "Huh, guess i'm not a smoker anymore".
@@brunoderkameramann3989 I used to envy my friends who never smoked that they didn't have the craving for a cigarette. But then I thought that they don't have a craving for it as I do not have a craving for heroine for example, I'm sure there are addicts out there envying me for that. That thought helped me battling the cravings when they arrived and they eventually disappeared, but sometimes the thought of "let's just have ONE for the party" comes in. Don't do it!
I don't get why people have to make such a big thing of quitting smoking. If you are motivated you'll be over it in a week: after that you no longer crave physically but you have to be aware of not falling back into the habit.
@@nicomeier8098 Because everyone is different some people have addictive personalities on top of being addicted to something like Nicotine while one person might be able to kick the habit with ease or a bit of self discipline others may struggle and find it harder to overcome addiction.
You're probably gonna laugh at me but you're probably right. I wanted and really wanted to start smoking bcz all my neighbours around me smoke and they have a great time (including me) after we finish helping them on their field work But yea, they all smoke and they're all like: 'Ugh this feeling of smoking after a good work." So I tried and tried and tried for few years now (basically buying a pack of cigarette every 2nd or 3rd month) and I smoked 'artificially' because I did not like it and everytime I get either numb or I wanna throw up (feeling nausea). I still sometimes ask someone to give a cigarette just to try but I always feel nauseous. That is preventing me from starting smoking. I probably wasted 100 $ just trying to smoke, never enjoying it. I do train and run, so maybe my lungs don't accept tar and nicotine, can't say.
Gon Freecss It must be hard for you to quit when everyone around is smoking but using vapes also introduce you to usinhlg cigar smoking in the long run. It would be a good idea to tell everyone around you that you've experience difficulty breathing as an alibi. If they really care then they wouldn't tell you to do smoking. I am not a doctor btw, however try to lessen the use of artificial smoking. It'll help you quitting and you'll avoid the withdrawal effects of it.
@@jakeevans5460 it's been three years and I still think about it every day. In fact, in my dreams I still ALWAYS have a cigarette. So sometimes I wake up and fear that I blew it but it's only my dreams haha. Three years in and I guess you can say I subconsciously still "miss" them but I'm really happy I don't smoke anymore.
@@catoshi. I simply quit cold turkey. The cravings were almost unbearable at times, but I wanted to quit so badly I just went with it. It took about two weeks, but after that weeks become months, months become years and so on. Today I no longer even think about it. Best of luck to you, my friend.
@@catoshi. for me, the first week was tough, but everyday you don't smoke, the easier it gets. After two weeks, I rarely thought about it anymore...And I was a heavy smoker.
I try, the wierd thing is i cant sleep. Soon as i closes my eyes i get a wierd feeling in my mouth and my brain cant deal whit it, i only slept 12 hours in the 4 nights i quit smoking now.
Smoked 20 to 30 a day for 30 years, started to feel generally unwell, had some heart and lung issues, and a few close calls, so decided I had to quit. Went cold turkey and managed to stop smoking. 10 years later I'm still here and able to tell the tale. There's always hope, stay strong and do your best.
In this boat. 30 years of multiple packs a day. Sadly I already screwed myself permanently as I have early stage emphysema. Cant do much without being unable to breath. I had childhood asthma which I outgrew, and as a typical teen thought I was invincible and began smoking and the decades just flew by. I didnt realize how bad my lungs were until it was way too late. I was trying to shovel a driveway last winter and I couldnt shovel more than 1 minute without having to sit down, and even sitting it would take 5-10 minutes to catch mybreath. Little by little through the years my stamina would shrink and I just didnt pay attention until it was so bad that it was hard to not notice. Always told myself I'd quit when I needed to or that I would notice the effect on my body and deal with it but I simply didn't notice until the damage was long done and mostly irreversible. I'll be yet another statistic in roughly 10-15 years.
I started smoking when I was 15. I was a chain smoker for 8 years and when I became 23, I decided to quit smoking. It took me around 1.5 years to fully stop it. Now I am 25 and I am proud of myself that I was able to quit it. If you want to quit smoking, your first step should be to start hating smoking and realizing that you have to quit it today or tomorrow. If I can quit it then you can do it too. Good luck NOTE : It's March 2023 and still i dont smoke and I'm really happy that i quit
That's good advice. I'm quitting due to heath and financial trouble. Its been almost a month and I've quit cold turkey. It's hard. I al.ost gave in a few times. Honestly, the only reason I didn't give in was money. I feel better too. I take it day by day. I feel depressed though and work from home. I've gotta work on my loneliness and not use smoking to cope. Walks are helping.
I just passed my first day, I'm so proud of myself...when I started at 18...I knew it's not good for your health but I didn't know it is an addiction, I BEG ANYONE WHO WANTS TO SMOKE CIGARETTES NOT TO START....please...you'll regret it...I'm 25 and I'd like to regain my health and strength and live a better life for my future and to be a better role model and motivate everyone around me❤
@@Leo-gt1bxpls don’t vape it’s more dangerous than cigarettes. Even i did the same I vaped for 7 months Then it started showing side effects then i switched back to cigarettes and now finally i said to myself enough is enough of this shit, i felt like I’m a slave to these cigarettes. Hence i stopped smoking it’s been 5 days and counting.
the greatest success that I have had was by following the Quit Smoking Crusher (i found it on google) definately the best method that I have ever tried.
No, I appreciate how hard it is, they should get encouragement. But they shouldn’t of smoked it the first place, you choose to smoke that’s fine, you choose to quit that’s fine but don’t expect to be celebrated for quitting a bad habit you shouldn’t of really done to start.
I remember few years back after my wife died, I was left alone with 3 kids. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got addicted to cigarettes. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.
Can you help me with the reliable source 🙏. I'm 56 and have suffered for years with addiction, anxiety and severe ptsd, I got my panic attacks under control myself years ago and they have come back with a vengeance, I'm constantly trying to take full breaths but can't get the full satisfying breath out, it's absolutely crippling me, i live in Germany. I don't know much about these mushrooms. Really need a reliable source!! Can't wait to get them
YES sure of mycologist Predroshrooms. I have the same experience with anxiety, addiction. Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's rough I sympathize. Save your health save your mind. Life is better without heroin, cocaine, alcohol and cigarettes. And you have more money in your pocket. God bless everyone who has rejected the devils intentions to be addicted to alcohol and cigarettes etc which can cause so much damage to health. I will pray for you all.
Thanks for the Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your thoughts. Have you researched - Tarbbatigan Beyond Dreams Tip (do a google search)? It is a great one off guide for quitting smoking minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got astronomical results with it.
literally same rn , im crying writing this im hating the nausea i literallly keep crying its so uncomfortable i dont want to keep feeling it , good luck friend 💕 proud of you
I was a light to moderate smoker for 16 years. One day i thought to myself "This is crazy", and that was it..... LITERALLY.. that was the last cigarette i smoked. It's been 6 years.
Willems Pierre After almost 10 years of smoking my dad quit in a heartbeat when mom got pregnant and never touched one again. It's not as hard to quit as some smokers imply.
It's been 7 days and I still have cravings but I'm being strong as hell. Besides quitting cigs, I also quit marijuana, alcohol, and all other intoxicants. My brain chemistry is nuts but I'm holding myself together with my sheer willpower. Plus, the support from my family and friends has been overwhelming. This video was one of the things that inspired me to quit and I'm grateful to this channel for releasing it. Hopefully, I'll continue on my path towards permanent sobriety and not waste my life away.
I smoked for 24 years heavily. Also 22 years daily 5x marijuana. Stopping took me 30 minutes. I was contemplating it for 20 years though. :) It was so easy to do (giving up) I couldn't believe, I still can't.
I started smoking cigarettes years ago as a teenage, spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Got diagnosed with cptsd. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Much respect to mother nature the great magic shrooms.

Hey mates! Can you help with the source? I suffer severe anxiety, panic and depression and I usually take prescription medicine, but they don't always help. Where can I find those psilocybin mushrooms? I'm really interested in treating my mental health without Rxs. I live in Australia don't know much about these. I'm so glad they helped you. I can't wait to get them too. Really need a reliable source🙏🏻
YES very sure of Dr.joelshroom. I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
I was a heavy smoker for at least 10 years. Developed testicular cancer and lost a testicle at the age of 38. Yes, cigarettes cause more than just lung cancer.

Been a smoker since 35 years, thank god finally succeed quited. 2 years recently been concentrated with vaping, and successfully quite the tobacco cig. Recently have no choice to try the gum, due to vaping causing me for chronic urticaria! The gum works very well and it's sugar free, a little peace of mind it doesn't dmg our teeth. What i'd learned.. Everything has an addiction etc, coffee/caffeine, taste of curtain food, even the water and the air we breath. Is a comfort zone that our mind set accepted when we felt good or relax since the first contact. Sometimes i do feel like a baby craving for pacifier those day when i craving for cig, it is a problem of our comfort zone and mind set. Be strong with your mind set and in control, and you'll be successful in many facts.
I stop smoking a week ago,when you quit you're coughing and clearing your throat more, since i every time coughs or clears throat people think i got coronavirus.
Im 2mo.s pregnant and i stoped smoking last 3days ago,the time i stop smoking i loss my sense of smell and stuffynose... i hope its not corona virus...
Started actively smoking like 6/7 months ago. Im 19yrs old and smoked about a pack and a half every day. Today is day 4 without cigarettes. Every time I have the urge to light one up I watch this video, it is very helpful, wish me luck guys! Edit: After relapsing and switching to vape then relapsing again I finally quit for good. Smoke free for about 3 weeks now.
After smoking for 50+ years at least 30 a day I was sitting in the garden having a cig when all of a sudden i decided to quit that was 16 weeks ago fill very proud of myself
@@RuthCrocker there's actually not as big of a difference as you'd think smoking 5 a day vs 20 a day according to studies. Light smoking (5 a day) resulted in lung function loss at 68% of the rate of heavy smoking (20 a day) www.nhs.uk/news/heart-and-lungs/even-few-cigarettes-day-worsens-lung-health/
I also just stopped, its not a problem for me tho, i also stopped doing drugs like meth, weed, speed, Ecstasy and stuff around 2 Weeks ago, and i dont care at All im just chillin at home and playing Games without even thinking about it. Being addicted always depends on what type of Person you are :)
This video is not right on the withdrawal part. I have smoked for 7 years, and the first 6 months were hell. I always wanted to find a cigarette, and a reason to smoke but I came through. It's been 5 years since my last cigarette, and I can tell you that this was one of my best decisions of my life.
Your son still gonna have a effect/disease bc u were basically still smoking at the very start of your pregnancy,and im not sure if your being real or not because this doesn't sound legit
@@deksanapaopotami3831 if she actually quit smoking couple days after she. knew she was pregnant then she would have given a more detailed explanation and many people write fake comments like this for likes as well,unless she gives a more detail answer this is still sus.
One of the most important things I learned just before I quit smoking (40 years ago), was that aside from all the paradoxical effects of nicotine withdrawal (morning sleepiness, nighttime insomnia, mood swings, etc.), was this: *your cravings will arise about as often as you smoke, and will remain intense for only about 5 to 7 minutes, which is about as long as it takes to smoke a cigarette.* So here’s the key to getting rid of the habit, once you’ve determined that you are DONE with it and want to stop forever: *As soon as the craving kicks in, get up and do something physical that requires your whole body to do, AND your focus- sweep a garage, shovel a dirt pile from one side of the yard to the other, then back- until the craving stops. As you do this, the cravings will become farther and farther apart, and less and less intense, until you no longer need cigarettes at all.* You MUST NOT go drinking- stay out of pubs, and out of the cars and homes of people who smoke, for a month. *Youll know you’ve quit for real when you smell tobacco smoke, and your first thought is “Echhhh... gross.”*
It sucks because some of my coworkers smoke and I would chill with them on a smoke break and lately I decided to wuit smoking because i got sick and started coughing out some icky stuff… no more of that.
Thats facts. When i ate fatty foods (especially fried meat) or drank cup of hot coffee my craving arises. So about 10-15 minutes its getting peaking. After 15 minutes i think i dont need to smoke rn. This circle keep going like that. Almost every time im smoking after a good fatty meals i eat. I think after eating fatty hot meals makes nic addiction kicking off
Been a pack a day smoker for 27 years. Just turned 43 and decided it's time for a change. As of today, I've been tobacco free for 4 days with the help of nicotine patches. I have been going to a local gym to focus my energy and frustration there. Seems to help a lot. Wish me luck!
@@Haraldfinehair-in2wf I’ve been having some chest pain after quitting. The pain hasn’t been too intense or anything and I really only notice it at night. My guess is the blood vessels in the heart are starting to become more clear and that’s causing some discomfort/pain.
Daniel im 25 y old ihv been smoking for 7 years ihv quit since December/ 5/ 17... i still get cravings cause i used to smoke weed in last 2 years every night.. it was very hard for me to quit.. i still cough if i tried to laugh tho the cough is now decreasing as the time passes by... gym really hepled me quit smoking.. and one secret weed really had a good impact in my gains..
2 month's without smoking!!! Edit: it's the first of January 2019 and I'm officially one year without a cigarette!!! love y'all and all the best for 2019!! We can do it!!!
no srsly don't search for a subtitue. do the opposite. I always took smoking a cig as sort of an a reward.. but what for? I stopped treating myself for having worked 1 hour or bravely waited for the bus for 5 minutes. I instead chewed a gum (I hate gum) and did the opposite of treating me. it's this circle. it helpes at firs but when you're really shortly b4 smoking 1.. than treat yourself. for NOT doing it. the first 2 weeks are the hardest, so you're halfway there. after that, it's ez not to. I even got drunk with my still-smoking friends and still did not want to smoke. yes. it's been harder to resist as usual, but it's still way easier to resist, than to be weak. but remember!! NEVER be weak. quitting smoking mean NEVER AGAIN. That all sounds a lot like a help-urself-book, but I really made up my mind about this. maybe stay away from occasions, where you'll eventually get temped, for 1 or 2 weeks and after that, you're pretty much done :) And! I gotta say, even thou I gained a lil weight (smoking stops your feel of hunger), I feel much more fit and relaxed. You can do it and I'm very proud of you guys. And don't stop masturbating.
James Tree proud of you buddy, how do you feel now? I bet you are feeling healthier and happier, good luck friend, I wish you a happy and healthy life. I did quit myself 4 years ago after almost 10 years of smoking.
I smoked for 45 years but stopped almost 10 years ago, cold turkey, and never looked back. If you're trying to stop don't give up trying, the first time you look someone in the eye and can say ' I don't smoke' makes it all worth while. Today, of all days, is a good day to give it a go.
Stuggle for me. I associate cigarettes with a lot of my activities like driving, having a beer, sometimes during gaming. Any advice would be appreciated
FrisktheFallen Doritosforlife good point. In her pic she looks 13 but if you look closely she looks older. That's a good thing! She looks young if she if old enough to smoke
I can’t tell you the times i had to watch this video over and over again hoping to hit the time marks mentioned in the video. I started smoking cigarettes at 15, vaping at 18, and was finally able to quit now at 27 after defeating cancer. It was definately one of the hardest things ive ever had to do, but i feel happy now. And even though i still get cravings a lot they’re a lot easier to manage. Thank you for putting this video out into the world.
To everyone who's quit or is thinking about it I just want to say congratulations and what you're doing is absolutely amazing! I know it's hard but you can do it. I wish you good luck, good health and much happiness.

@@Unaa6969 I know right such a big deal, multiple cancer death, slow heart beat, blood pressure to the roof, breathing problems. You seem young and foolish, I started smoking at 16 and yeah at first when you young is not a big deal, but when that crap catches up to you in your 20's too 30's your gonna regret it like me and other ignorant smokers inevitably has.
@@SilverLil-rs3crSo you're saying smoking "catches up" to you in your 20s or 30s? Then why is my relative who is 66 smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and he is in good health and still plays sports on his freetime? Also are you saying that if you don't smoke you become immortal or something? 😂 What is the point of living to a really old age (80s or 90s) anyway? There is usually very little quality to life at that point anyway. I don't recommend smoking, but you are so ignorant it hurts.
I quit smoking in December 2013 cold turkey after 40 years and 2 packs a day. I'll admit the first week after is the hardest. I kept thinking ( a week ago I was smoking.) BEST ADVICE: You yourself will know when it's time for you to quit. Not because of New Years Eve, not because someone tells you to quit. DO THIS FOR YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!! GET RID OF ALL TEMPTATIONS When you decide to quit, make sure there are NO CIGARTETTES ANYWHERE in the house, in the car, ANYWHERE. Focus on the goal and not on "I need a cigartette". Good Luck and Stay Strong.
I disagree. I kept half a carton of smokes in my drawer for 6 months. My wife continued to smoke. If your going to be successful your going to need to quit while being around cigarettes. Avoiding them only teaches you to quit with no cigarettes around, but as we all know that is not the real world of quitting, cigarettes are/were everywhere!!
I quit 2014 smoked 25+ 2 packs a day. Best decision of my life. I stayed away from people who smoked and now I hate the smell on people now lol. Congrats to you
Yes, for me the challenge really started when the constantly smoking people were back in my life again. After a month being far from any. Alone, the battle was fine. The urge for a cig doesn't last so with none around, it's way easier to let go of that urge. Then, I got back to the city and the constant smokers. Break : cig. Drink : cig. Between drinks : cigs. A 5mins walk : cig. They want to talk to you : cig. That was so hard. Right now I still don't feel capable of resisting to it because of higher than normal stress, so I cut off a lot of social interactions. That's sadly necessary because you can't expect people to quit, and I've noticed most smokers feel ashamed around a former smoker, and they lash out, like " It's easier for you than it would be for me because you never been that big of a smoker ". Heard that one a lot, especially from girls. The last thing you need during a challenge against yourself is someone putting himself in the center of it. For all these reasons, social environment has to change, at least for a time. But you do get to realize that cigarette really is associated with junkies talks and habits.
Yeah all my friends are smokers so itll be harder on me and kicking the hanbbit but my throat hurts all the time and i feel like a i have a neverending cold its time to quit
First month is brutal. After 18-20 days..you thought you stopped for good, then suddenly something happens, and you feels the cravings like it's day 3 again..
Been almost 5 months since I quit and I can say the hardest part is having a conversation with yourself everytime you leave the house to convincing yourself that you don't need cigs anymore.
Same thing with me. Its been like one and a half months since I quit smoking and I do get sometimes the same thought of buying a pack of cigs and convincing myself that I dont need it and I am strong enough to finally quit.
After the first few days you are done with the physical needs. Then it's just a stupid habit. The absence of the logistics of being in supply is one of the things I like the most. No checking before the store closes. Nothing before I go somewhere. Just leave. I'm free.
I have been smoking for over 30 years. I've tried everything I know to give up many times, to the point that I felt it was a hopeless cause. Finally, I decided to take it one second at a time and tell nobody that I was trying to quit...not even myself. It worked! I have now been three months without a cigarette. It wasn't at all easy and I still occasionally fancy a smoke, but it is not the extreme craving that it once was and the feeling passes within seconds. Most of the time I no longer think about smoking at all. I know just how hard it is for smokers to quit and I absolutely never criticize a smoker. It is very hard to quit but so very satisfying if you do beat the habit. Never stop trying, but don't feel weak if you fail. Just be determined to try again...and good luck!
6 months tobacco free. Smoked 22 yrs . Pack and a half a day . I feel like a new person . One of the best things ive ever done in my life. Total life changer. If your in the process of quitting stick with it. In the long run its well worth it.

I had been vaping for about 5 years, I started when I was 17. I ended up getting extremely addicted to the point where I was doing it from the moment my eyes opened, to the moment I fell asleep. I'd sleep with the vape in my hand, ready to go in case I woke up in the night. 2 weeks ago I decided to drop nicotine altogether, and wow. It's only been 14 days, and the physical benefit is already noticeable and tremendous.
I vape myself and I was wondering if quitting vaping would have the same effect. Thank you for your input. Looks like I need to quit vaping myself. Thank you! 🙂
I’ve quit smoking for a year and 3 months now. My last cigarette was in front of my house. I was smoking while it was hot as hell because it was during the summertime n I remember looking at my reflection on the window of my car and thinking, how disgusting I looked holding a cigarette and when I threw my pack away I remember going inside to play with my son and remembering thinking he doesn’t deserve to smell like cigarettes after I just got done smoking and how he doesn’t deserve to have me smell like cigarettes around him. That smell lingers for a couple hours and it’s probably one of the worst things u can do around a kid because kids pick up on habits that u do in front of them. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made for myself and my family. Before u even quit, don’t pick up on it and if you’re trying to quit, make sure your “why” is greater than anything u believe in. Good luck to u all.
Actually I agree with this one, my father also have addiction to cigarettes before. Everytime he smokes he hides away from us so we couldn't adopt his addiction to cigarettes too, that's why i don't have any cravings for cigarettes but sad because this generation of teens thinks that smoking and vaping is cool but it's there own decisions. And also I'm happy to say that my father doesn't smoke anymore for almost 13 years

@@vanjajaic6691 So glad to hear you succeeded and thanks for the recent update. Congratulations! A lot of the sites are over a decade old. I was a heavy smoker - 3 packs - and managed to quit for 12 years. All it took was ONE cigarette during a stressful time and I was back to smoking for the next 14 years. I just read Allen Carr's book and found it inspiring. I'm in my second day of cold turkey and it's not too bad. He's right, I think, about it being mostly in the mind. He says it's the fear factor for most people. Best wishes for everyone making the decision to be free.
I've smoked since 16, was averaging 2 packs every 3 days and just totally quit on my wife's 54th birthday as her birthday present.

Day 16 since didnt smoke any. Withdrawal symptoms like pain around heart/ digestive problems / chest pain - sometimes feeling good, and then some cold / hot sweat hits. Need some time to get better. Anyone else experiencing simullar? Stay strong !
Good to see you that u have quite smoking ...I m 38 years old smoking by almost 15 years ...yes Chest pain only is often felt around heart not sweating etc. So Whether or not your chest pain has improved since you stopped smoking? It's mean smoking causes chest pain ? I want to quite that shit as well 😢
I used to wake up to my chest and back hurting like hell every morning.. Its been 2 weeks since i stopped smoking and i dont feel those pains anymore. So i think it was due to smoking. @@UsmanAli-si7rz
I smoked for 40 years, had an incident where I couldn't get my breath and thought this is how you're gonna die, from suffocation! I decided it was time to stop the foolishness and quit! It's been 5 years and really hasn't been that hard! I loved smoking but I finally woke up to the realization those things are killing me!!! I had some cravings and when I did I got up and got busy asap to keep my mind from thinking about giving in! Now I don't even think about it, they stink really bad when I'm around someone smoking but it doesn't make me want one! Bottom line is when you really make up your mind to quit you will quit and after a few weeks you will be glad you did! You will notice a difference in how better you breathe in two weeks!
Very similar experience for me. After smoking for just over 40 years, I decided that it's time for me to put away the things of my youth. Life has just started getting more difficult and smoking was not going to make this transition any easier. I value my independence and am not willing to give that up no matter how much I enjoy smoking. Now it's been about three years since the last smoke. The desire for a cigarette is real but not unbearable. My 'replacement' for the physical hand-to-mouth habit is breath mints. Makes me laugh :). I spent most of my adult life with awful breath and now my go-to is Peppermint Altoids!
Exactly what happen to me I smoked for 10 years 2 weeks ago I was ending up in hospital cuz suddenly I couldn't breath and have pain in my chest after that I quit smoking immediately and stop drinking I'm 9 days clean and still going..
If I would have known how easy it really was to quit, I would have done it 25 years ago. I was edgy the first week, but it was getting easier as everyday passed. After 2 weeks, I wasn't even thinking about it anymore, and I was a heavy smoker.
I convinced myself I'd puke around cigarettes. Since then, I have survived two strokes, colon cancer and now I'm dealing with a tumor in my lung. Lost 55lbs and doing fine. Don't have the energy I use to. I've made it to 73. Thanks for asking.
I’m 18 years old and have been smoking cigs for 8 months now, I guess it’s a good thing I’ve been wanting to quit since I started, I know it’ll be easier for me if I stop now instead of waiting to do it, I hope it’ll be able to stop
For me the hardest part of quitting is kicking the habit, it has been my routine for the past 16 years and I’m only 29, I wake up have my tea and smoke my cigarette, I eat breakfast and have my cigarette, I leave the house and I light a cigarette while I walk, I go in the car and I light a cigarette, I’ll have lunch and smoke a cigarette and so on, the most difficult part is this, I do the same things but without the cigarettes, is like my body is expecting the cigarette after I eat, I don’t know how to explain it but it is truly like this, is like now I have lost my favourite past time, but I am trying so hard my oesophagus is irritated due to the smoke and I want to heal it
Ahmed Hamadi is the worst thing ever, every cigarette I light I think to myself God I need to stop, this will end up killing me, but I can’t stop what the hell, I think cigarettes are worst than heroin addictions, if you think about it ex alcoholics and ex drug addicts can cut the abuse but can never stop smoking 😩😩😩
started smoking since my teenage. Got addicted to cocaine. Also suffered severe depression and mental illness. It's just amazing how psilocybin mushrooms treatment actually saved my life. 3 years clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
Smoked from the end of high school through my 20’s. Quit the day before I turned 30. I’ll be 40 in a few months and never had a cigarette in my 30’s. Took me about 3 or 4 times trying to quit but I did it. The important thing is to never give up on yourself. Don’t get discouraged if you break and have a smoke. It’s not the end of the world. Just keep trying to quit. You can do it!
It's been a month that I haven't smoked any stick... I feel great... Reading inspiring books have developed my subconscious mind against these bad habits... All the best 👍 Don't give up
When i stopped smoking i experienced : 1 week of extreme dreams at night, sweating and anxiety. Took an additional few weeks before i lost the crave to smoke during the day. But then i still had the need to sniff smoke from cigarettes of people passing by on the streets. This took more than a year for this need to go away. For me personally it really was hard to stop smoking, it was a mental and physical challenge. When i hear people say that they have gone back to smoking because they supposedly couldn't stop, i always comment that they were just not ready enough to do. Mentally one really needs to be ready. I was just sick and tired of it and that is what helped me keep my foot down on it.
@bill joseph The insanity passes quickly, although it seems like forever while you're there. Play that country tune [by Rodney Atkins] "If you're going through Hell..."
I agree. I still smoke unfortunately but when I "quit" several times it was because I planned it out too quickly or family pressured me. The times I've gone the longest were when I was sick of smoking and ready to quit but it is incredibly hard. In psychology It's all about "conditioning". This is why even after a 3 month stint in jail, I came out and started smoking again. In jail you aren't living your regular day to day life. You have to learn to live the same day without the cigarettes in between. (Don't smoke while driving, with coffee, after a meal, etc etc) For me I'm just not ready. My brain tells me I like it too much even though it gets in the way of literally everything I need to accomplish with my day. Before I started smoking 13 years ago, I thought people were bulls*itting when they said they couldn't quit. Boy was I wrong. I don't wish addiction on anyone. Congratulations to you because in my book quitting is a superpower!
I quit smoking about 8 months ago, and when I say I’ve never felt so good in my life, I’m telling the truth. The first couple of days of quitting were the worst. At first I tried cold turkey, horrible idea. You gotta ease into it. Little by little. If I have any advice for anyone, it would be to find a hobby. For me I took dance class and it completely made me forget about smokin. Avoid any stressful confrontations, keep positive vibes. Trust if your a chronic smoker like I was and you quit, it will change your life trust me!!!
I watch your "what happens when you stop XY" quite regularly. I have an anxiety disorder and I can't deal well with loss of control, therefore knowing what happens when I do get the strength to try and stop smoking really calms me, thank you a lot for that! (Even though I haven't been successful just yet)
I only smoke one pack of citrate from Friday evening to Sunday evening and then I stop for 5 days and do the same again. I don't find quitting smoking is that difficult. I can quit smoking anytime.
@Thot Patrol USA Haha, now I planed to stop smoking anyways, it's not hard for me anyways I guess. I will reply you after a year, if I don't contract Covid19 and die. hahah
Quitting today, feels like a part of me is going to be departed from my soul. Though it feels like a loss but I'm fully convinced that in the long run it will be the ultimate win for me. I will share my thoughts frequently to all people trying to quit so it will be a motivation for someone else.
Smoked for 20 years and decided to quit a little over 7 months ago. I'm surprised by how easy it has been. I sometimes get cravings, but I visualize myself smoking and quickly realize that I am not missing out. For me the anticipation of lighting a cigarette was way stronger than the pleasure I got from it.
For me it was too easy to get cocky when I lucked out with an easy quit. I was stupid a year down the road, thought I had it down. That time it was so easy quitting. After that never again.

Take a tip from someone who has quit numerous times (the last time i smoked was 12 years ago) don't start again i quit on 4 occasions and each time it was harder and harder to give them up...
@@ComeOnPeopleThink Yes i also went throught that, last time i quit for 6 months and now that I'm trying to quit again it's worse. So i havent touched one since yesterday and I'm now feeling sick. Apparently it's quitters flu but this is the first this has happened. Has it happend to you?
@@wellthen4128 I don’t know if this will be of any help but I keep some cigarette around so I wouldn’t panic by not having any…knowing they were there somehow eased my mind and helped me through..
Been 7 going on 8 days of no vaping let’s gooo!😮💨😮💨😮💨. I mean it’s only been 8 days but still, I’ll come back and give y’all an update on my journey
You won’t succeed. I did that too to my dad when I was little. I myself have now smoked for about 7 years, the last 5, at least, quite heavily too. I know for a fact that only the person who smokes can stop it and no one else. This applies to drugs and other things as well, it’s all up to the user and the user alone. After all you can’t tell someone to stop loving someone either, it’s all in their own head and nobody else has control over it.
I Wish you succeed buddy....my dad just pass away 20 days ago because of lung cancer, I am also an ex smoker,I quit for almost 7 year now...it’s hard to stop it... just don’t give up,on your dad...do your best,to help him and encourage him....
I qiut when i was 33 started when i was 12. Gave up cold turkey ,my then 10 year old daughter kept saying to me every time i lit up ,"when you gonna quit dad" after hearing that over and over it got to me and im grateful for her doing that,now i can run around chasing my grandson without getting puffed out
The worst part about quitting for me was the feeling of loss. Like a part a part of my being was gone and i had nothing to replace it with. I feared this feeling would last for ever. I have good news for you trying to quit, the feeling doesn't last forever. A day will come when you go to bed and notice you haven't thought about smoking the whole day and you don't feel empty inside. When this day arrived for me i just laughed abit to my self and thought, "Huh, guess i'm not a smoker anymore".
Hey that's what's up and inspiring
Damn i can relate to this so much. It feels like smoking is a part of your life and personality, but after quitting the feeling fades away.
@@brunoderkameramann3989 I used to envy my friends who never smoked that they didn't have the craving for a cigarette. But then I thought that they don't have a craving for it as I do not have a craving for heroine for example, I'm sure there are addicts out there envying me for that. That thought helped me battling the cravings when they arrived and they eventually disappeared, but sometimes the thought of "let's just have ONE for the party" comes in. Don't do it!
I don't get why people have to make such a big thing of quitting smoking.
If you are motivated you'll be over it in a week: after that you no longer crave physically but you have to be aware of not falling back into the habit.
@@nicomeier8098 Because everyone is different some people have addictive personalities on top of being addicted to something like Nicotine while one person might be able to kick the habit with ease or a bit of self discipline others may struggle and find it harder to overcome addiction.
Please never start if you haven't.
I totally agree!
I smoke and I regret it every single day... :-\
I smoke almost every day for 3 years and enjoy it very much, do not really care about the diseases after all everybody is going to die anyway
Dakath Ulatris But you'll suffer as you age so...
You're probably gonna laugh at me but you're probably right. I wanted and really wanted to start smoking bcz all my neighbours around me smoke and they have a great time (including me) after we finish helping them on their field work But yea, they all smoke and they're all like: 'Ugh this feeling of smoking after a good work." So I tried and tried and tried for few years now (basically buying a pack of cigarette every 2nd or 3rd month) and I smoked 'artificially' because I did not like it and everytime I get either numb or I wanna throw up (feeling nausea). I still sometimes ask someone to give a cigarette just to try but I always feel nauseous. That is preventing me from starting smoking. I probably wasted 100 $ just trying to smoke, never enjoying it. I do train and run, so maybe my lungs don't accept tar and nicotine, can't say.
Gon Freecss It must be hard for you to quit when everyone around is smoking but using vapes also introduce you to usinhlg cigar smoking in the long run. It would be a good idea to tell everyone around you that you've experience difficulty breathing as an alibi. If they really care then they wouldn't tell you to do smoking. I am not a doctor btw, however try to lessen the use of artificial smoking. It'll help you quitting and you'll avoid the withdrawal effects of it.
i’m 17 and have been smoking since i was 15... i quit yesterday and now i’m just watching videos like these to past the time... wish me luck.
Coco Ploofs good luck

Aye my story exactly the same but i quut 2 months ago

This is the video I watched right before I quit. Going on 3 years in October.
Happy 3 years sober
Do you still feel like you need a puff 5 months in nothing but feel like one now and then??
@@gloriasayles9290 thank you so much!
@@jakeevans5460 it's been three years and I still think about it every day. In fact, in my dreams I still ALWAYS have a cigarette. So sometimes I wake up and fear that I blew it but it's only my dreams haha. Three years in and I guess you can say I subconsciously still "miss" them but I'm really happy I don't smoke anymore.
how did you do it i can't stop the crave
I smoked for over twenty years and up to nearly two packs a day. I haven't touched one in over twelve years! Stay strong.
Great, how to?
@@catoshi. I simply quit cold turkey. The cravings were almost unbearable at times, but I wanted to quit so badly I just went with it. It took about two weeks, but after that weeks become months, months become years and so on. Today I no longer even think about it. Best of luck to you, my friend.
Congrats,
@@catoshi. for me, the first week was tough, but everyday you don't smoke, the easier it gets. After two weeks, I rarely thought about it anymore...And I was a heavy smoker.
I am trying to avoid snuffing .for the past 11 month .......I might be needing some tips from you
Been smoking since i was 19 , now i m 28 , 9 years of smoking, i want to quit!!! Didnt touched the cigarette from 9 days, wish me luck guys
Chew gum to help! I hear it's a good coping method!
Good stuff

How is it going? It’s been 1 month since this comment was posted.
Did u feel sick?
This was a month ago! Good job man
Smoked for 18yrs . I haven’t smoked in 6 months and the feeling is inexplainable. If you can , pls quit .
How are you doing? I hope to achieve the same ❤
What were the withdrawal symptoms please reply
Thank you for sharing. I'm trying to stop now.
I am 10 days clean of smoking. I pray to make it to 6 months. I dont grave it but i miss it. As i enjoyed it. But my kids wanted me to quit.
if you try to stop smoking..dont even try to alternate vaping...this both are addictive..😅
Congratulations to everyone in the comments who have / are in the process of quitting! You are amazing, stay strong
Yes
I try, the wierd thing is i cant sleep. Soon as i closes my eyes i get a wierd feeling in my mouth and my brain cant deal whit it, i only slept 12 hours in the 4 nights i quit smoking now.
yeaaa... i didnt have much choice. my lungs were failing so it was quit or die. makes the choice easy enough though lol
Even more props to you if you never smoked at all!
Well i try but i have coughing and panic attacks , are you sure is these symptoms gone after some days .
Smoked 20 to 30 a day for 30 years, started to feel generally unwell, had some heart and lung issues, and a few close calls, so decided I had to quit. Went cold turkey and managed to stop smoking. 10 years later I'm still here and able to tell the tale. There's always hope, stay strong and do your best.
Very good story king
In this boat. 30 years of multiple packs a day. Sadly I already screwed myself permanently as I have early stage emphysema. Cant do much without being unable to breath. I had childhood asthma which I outgrew, and as a typical teen thought I was invincible and began smoking and the decades just flew by. I didnt realize how bad my lungs were until it was way too late. I was trying to shovel a driveway last winter and I couldnt shovel more than 1 minute without having to sit down, and even sitting it would take 5-10 minutes to catch mybreath. Little by little through the years my stamina would shrink and I just didnt pay attention until it was so bad that it was hard to not notice.
Always told myself I'd quit when I needed to or that I would notice the effect on my body and deal with it but I simply didn't notice until the damage was long done and mostly irreversible. I'll be yet another statistic in roughly 10-15 years.
@@TheDigitalThreat honestly your story is just like mine I hope u get blessed frl frl
Love fam, im trying
Qutting cigarettes even tea and caffeine have been 10× harder for me than weed!
I started smoking when I was 15. I was a chain smoker for 8 years and when I became 23, I decided to quit smoking. It took me around 1.5 years to fully stop it. Now I am 25 and I am proud of myself that I was able to quit it.
If you want to quit smoking, your first step should be to start hating smoking and realizing that you have to quit it today or tomorrow. If I can quit it then you can do it too. Good luck
NOTE : It's March 2023 and still i dont smoke and I'm really happy that i quit
That's good advice. I'm quitting due to heath and financial trouble. Its been almost a month and I've quit cold turkey. It's hard. I al.ost gave in a few times. Honestly, the only reason I didn't give in was money. I feel better too. I take it day by day. I feel depressed though and work from home. I've gotta work on my loneliness and not use smoking to cope. Walks are helping.
I was also able to quit same way
@@Lifewitheelisa Go to gym. You will meet new people who cares about their body.Also, exercise helps to get rid of depression

Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment changed my life for better. I can proudly say i'm totally clean for 6 years and still counting. Always look to nature for solution to tough problems, Shrooms are phenomenal.

Willems Pierre After almost 10 years of smoking my dad quit in a heartbeat when mom got pregnant and never touched one again. It's not as hard to quit as some smokers imply.
It's been 7 days and I still have cravings but I'm being strong as hell. Besides quitting cigs, I also quit marijuana, alcohol, and all other intoxicants. My brain chemistry is nuts but I'm holding myself together with my sheer willpower. Plus, the support from my family and friends has been overwhelming. This video was one of the things that inspired me to quit and I'm grateful to this channel for releasing it. Hopefully, I'll continue on my path towards permanent sobriety and not waste my life away.

As a smoker, I thought smoking was cool but its not. Ive realized that its more cooler if you succesfully quit doing it.💯💯💯
So if you want to be really cool you have to get addicted to cigarettes and then successfully quit it.

Been a smoker since 35 years, thank god finally succeed quited.
2 years recently been concentrated with vaping, and successfully quite the tobacco cig.
Recently have no choice to try the gum, due to vaping causing me for chronic urticaria!
The gum works very well and it's sugar free, a little peace of mind it doesn't dmg our teeth.
What i'd learned..
Everything has an addiction etc, coffee/caffeine, taste of curtain food, even the water and the air we breath.
Is a comfort zone that our mind set accepted when we felt good or relax since the first contact.
Sometimes i do feel like a baby craving for pacifier those day when i craving for cig, it is a problem of our comfort zone and mind set.
Be strong with your mind set and in control, and you'll be successful in many facts.

Started actively smoking like 6/7 months ago. Im 19yrs old and smoked about a pack and a half every day. Today is day 4 without cigarettes. Every time I have the urge to light one up I watch this video, it is very helpful, wish me luck guys!
Edit: After relapsing and switching to vape then relapsing again I finally quit for good. Smoke free for about 3 weeks now.
All the best! May you come out of this very soon and be the healthiest. How's it going btw? :)

How are you alive? Well done 👍Imagine the extra cash you’ll have.
@@RuthCrocker there's actually not as big of a difference as you'd think smoking 5 a day vs 20 a day according to studies.
Light smoking (5 a day) resulted in lung function loss at 68% of the rate of heavy smoking (20 a day)

This video is not right on the withdrawal part. I have smoked for 7 years, and the first 6 months were hell. I always wanted to find a cigarette, and a reason to smoke but I came through. It's been 5 years since my last cigarette, and I can tell you that this was one of my best decisions of my life.
I quit smoking a couple days after I found out I was pregnant. My son is now eight years old. Best thing I ever did.
Your son still gonna have a effect/disease bc u were basically still smoking at the very start of your pregnancy,and im not sure if your being real or not because this doesn't sound legit

@@deksanapaopotami3831 yeah thats right bow down to me
One of the most important things I learned just before I quit smoking (40 years ago), was that aside from all the paradoxical effects of nicotine withdrawal (morning sleepiness, nighttime insomnia, mood swings, etc.), was this: *your cravings will arise about as often as you smoke, and will remain intense for only about 5 to 7 minutes, which is about as long as it takes to smoke a cigarette.*
So here’s the key to getting rid of the habit, once you’ve determined that you are DONE with it and want to stop forever: *As soon as the craving kicks in, get up and do something physical that requires your whole body to do, AND your focus- sweep a garage, shovel a dirt pile from one side of the yard to the other, then back- until the craving stops. As you do this, the cravings will become farther and farther apart, and less and less intense, until you no longer need cigarettes at all.*
You MUST NOT go drinking- stay out of pubs, and out of the cars and homes of people who smoke, for a month.
*Youll know you’ve quit for real when you smell tobacco smoke, and your first thought is “Echhhh... gross.”*
It sucks because some of my coworkers smoke and I would chill with them on a smoke break and lately I decided to wuit smoking because i got sick and started coughing out some icky stuff… no more of that.
Handy not handsome thanks for your comment! I'm going to put it on my fridge to remind me!Have a great day! Love from Australia!🧡🦘🧡

Good tip I’m going to try it thx
Thats facts. When i ate fatty foods (especially fried meat) or drank cup of hot coffee my craving arises. So about 10-15 minutes its getting peaking. After 15 minutes i think i dont need to smoke rn. This circle keep going like that. Almost every time im smoking after a good fatty meals i eat. I think after eating fatty hot meals makes nic addiction kicking off
Been a pack a day smoker for 27 years. Just turned 43 and decided it's time for a change. As of today, I've been tobacco free for 4 days with the help of nicotine patches. I have been going to a local gym to focus my energy and frustration there. Seems to help a lot. Wish me luck!

@@Haraldfinehair-in2wf I’ve been having some chest pain after quitting. The pain hasn’t been too intense or anything and I really only notice it at night. My guess is the blood vessels in the heart are starting to become more clear and that’s causing some discomfort/pain.
First day of quitting after 15 years I’m struggling but hopeful about the recovery
i stopped smoking in october 2016
It feels amazing,i started going to gym,i live more, it's amazing.
Daniel how many years you smoked
Indian Hunk 5,6 not sure
Daniel im 25 y old ihv been smoking for 7 years ihv quit since December/ 5/ 17... i still get cravings cause i used to smoke weed in last 2 years every night.. it was very hard for me to quit.. i still cough if i tried to laugh tho the cough is now decreasing as the time passes by... gym really hepled me quit smoking.. and one secret weed really had a good impact in my gains..
do not eat that much if u dont know what to do when u stop smoking,i eated too much.... but i lost weight, eat apple,and that.. nice to hear :D

2 month's without smoking!!!
Edit: it's the first of January 2019 and I'm officially one year without a cigarette!!!
love y'all and all the best for 2019!! We can do it!!!
mostly masturbating.
no srsly don't search for a subtitue. do the opposite. I always took smoking a cig as sort of an a reward.. but what for? I stopped treating myself for having worked 1 hour or bravely waited for the bus for 5 minutes. I instead chewed a gum (I hate gum) and did the opposite of treating me. it's this circle. it helpes at firs but when you're really shortly b4 smoking 1.. than treat yourself. for NOT doing it. the first 2 weeks are the hardest, so you're halfway there. after that, it's ez not to. I even got drunk with my still-smoking friends and still did not want to smoke. yes. it's been harder to resist as usual, but it's still way easier to resist, than to be weak. but remember!! NEVER be weak. quitting smoking mean NEVER AGAIN.
That all sounds a lot like a help-urself-book, but I really made up my mind about this. maybe stay away from occasions, where you'll eventually get temped, for 1 or 2 weeks and after that, you're pretty much done :)
And! I gotta say, even thou I gained a lil weight (smoking stops your feel of hunger), I feel much more fit and relaxed.
You can do it and I'm very proud of you guys.
And don't stop masturbating.
Hell yeah buddy same here.
YOU'RE THE MAN!
James Tree proud of you buddy, how do you feel now? I bet you are feeling healthier and happier, good luck friend, I wish you a happy and healthy life.
I did quit myself 4 years ago after almost 10 years of smoking.
I smoked for 45 years but stopped almost 10 years ago, cold turkey, and never looked back. If you're trying to stop don't give up trying, the first time you look someone in the eye and can say ' I don't smoke' makes it all worth while. Today, of all days, is a good day to give it a go.

FrisktheFallen Doritosforlife good point. In her pic she looks 13 but if you look closely she looks older. That's a good thing! She looks young if she if old enough to smoke
I can’t tell you the times i had to watch this video over and over again hoping to hit the time marks mentioned in the video. I started smoking cigarettes at 15, vaping at 18, and was finally able to quit now at 27 after defeating cancer. It was definately one of the hardest things ive ever had to do, but i feel happy now. And even though i still get cravings a lot they’re a lot easier to manage.
Thank you for putting this video out into the world.

@@SilverLil-rs3crSo you're saying smoking "catches up" to you in your 20s or 30s? Then why is my relative who is 66 smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and he is in good health and still plays sports on his freetime? Also are you saying that if you don't smoke you become immortal or something? 😂 What is the point of living to a really old age (80s or 90s) anyway? There is usually very little quality to life at that point anyway. I don't recommend smoking, but you are so ignorant it hurts.
I quit smoking in December 2013 cold turkey after 40 years and 2 packs a day. I'll admit the first week after is the hardest. I kept thinking ( a week ago I was smoking.) BEST ADVICE: You yourself will know when it's time for you to quit. Not because of New Years Eve, not because someone tells you to quit. DO THIS FOR YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!! GET RID OF ALL TEMPTATIONS When you decide to quit, make sure there are NO CIGARTETTES ANYWHERE in the house, in the car, ANYWHERE. Focus on the goal and not on "I need a cigartette". Good Luck and Stay Strong.
Take extra vit c for 4 days
I disagree. I kept half a carton of smokes in my drawer for 6 months. My wife continued to smoke. If your going to be successful your going to need to quit while being around cigarettes. Avoiding them only teaches you to quit with no cigarettes around, but as we all know that is not the real world of quitting, cigarettes are/were everywhere!!
I quit 2014 smoked 25+ 2 packs a day. Best decision of my life. I stayed away from people who smoked and now I hate the smell on people now lol. Congrats to you
@@yeshuaiscoming9024 Thanks! I quit after 30 a day for 30 years back in 2004. I still love the smell of cigarettes especially in a casino lol
Yes, for me the challenge really started when the constantly smoking people were back in my life again. After a month being far from any.
Alone, the battle was fine. The urge for a cig doesn't last so with none around, it's way easier to let go of that urge.
Then, I got back to the city and the constant smokers. Break : cig. Drink : cig. Between drinks : cigs. A 5mins walk : cig. They want to talk to you : cig.
That was so hard. Right now I still don't feel capable of resisting to it because of higher than normal stress, so I cut off a lot of social interactions. That's sadly necessary because you can't expect people to quit, and I've noticed most smokers feel ashamed around a former smoker, and they lash out, like " It's easier for you than it would be for me because you never been that big of a smoker ". Heard that one a lot, especially from girls. The last thing you need during a challenge against yourself is someone putting himself in the center of it.
For all these reasons, social environment has to change, at least for a time. But you do get to realize that cigarette really is associated with junkies talks and habits.
I haven’t smoked in 4 days and I feel so anxious and come back here to get motivated to continue with the journey
The first 3 days are brutal, keep your mind occupied, workout, stay away from other smokers.
Good luck !

Been almost 5 months since I quit and I can say the hardest part is having a conversation with yourself everytime you leave the house to convincing yourself that you don't need cigs anymore.
Sounds like somebody's about to relapse!
@@tupakkaonhyvaa haha not the case this time friend
@@jasondsilva880 Nice 👍
Same thing with me. Its been like one and a half months since I quit smoking and I do get sometimes the same thought of buying a pack of cigs and convincing myself that I dont need it and I am strong enough to finally quit.
After the first few days you are done with the physical needs. Then it's just a stupid habit. The absence of the logistics of being in supply is one of the things I like the most. No checking before the store closes. Nothing before I go somewhere. Just leave. I'm free.
I have been smoking for over 30 years. I've tried everything I know to give up many times, to the point that I felt it was a hopeless cause. Finally, I decided to take it one second at a time and tell nobody that I was trying to quit...not even myself. It worked! I have now been three months without a cigarette. It wasn't at all easy and I still occasionally fancy a smoke, but it is not the extreme craving that it once was and the feeling passes within seconds. Most of the time I no longer think about smoking at all. I know just how hard it is for smokers to quit and I absolutely never criticize a smoker. It is very hard to quit but so very satisfying if you do beat the habit. Never stop trying, but don't feel weak if you fail. Just be determined to try again...and good luck!
6 months tobacco free. Smoked 22 yrs . Pack and a half a day . I feel like a new person . One of the best things ive ever done in my life. Total life changer. If your in the process of quitting stick with it. In the long run its well worth it.

This video really helps me to motivate myself to get rid of smoking
I had been vaping for about 5 years, I started when I was 17. I ended up getting extremely addicted to the point where I was doing it from the moment my eyes opened, to the moment I fell asleep. I'd sleep with the vape in my hand, ready to go in case I woke up in the night. 2 weeks ago I decided to drop nicotine altogether, and wow. It's only been 14 days, and the physical benefit is already noticeable and tremendous.
I vape myself and I was wondering if quitting vaping would have the same effect. Thank you for your input. Looks like I need to quit vaping myself. Thank you! 🙂

I’ve quit smoking for a year and 3 months now. My last cigarette was in front of my house. I was smoking while it was hot as hell because it was during the summertime n I remember looking at my reflection on the window of my car and thinking, how disgusting I looked holding a cigarette and when I threw my pack away I remember going inside to play with my son and remembering thinking he doesn’t deserve to smell like cigarettes after I just got done smoking and how he doesn’t deserve to have me smell like cigarettes around him. That smell lingers for a couple hours and it’s probably one of the worst things u can do around a kid because kids pick up on habits that u do in front of them. It’s the best decision I’ve ever made for myself and my family. Before u even quit, don’t pick up on it and if you’re trying to quit, make sure your “why” is greater than anything u believe in. Good luck to u all.
W man bro, nice recovery and wish u the best in life.
@@emz-ea7235 ayyyee!! Thanks man

I smoked for 40 years, had an incident where I couldn't get my breath and thought this is how you're gonna die, from suffocation! I decided it was time to stop the foolishness and quit! It's been 5 years and really hasn't been that hard! I loved smoking but I finally woke up to the realization those things are killing me!!! I had some cravings and when I did I got up and got busy asap to keep my mind from thinking about giving in! Now I don't even think about it, they stink really bad when I'm around someone smoking but it doesn't make me want one! Bottom line is when you really make up your mind to quit you will quit and after a few weeks you will be glad you did! You will notice a difference in how better you breathe in two weeks!
Very similar experience for me. After smoking for just over 40 years, I decided that it's time for me to put away the things of my youth. Life has just started getting more difficult and smoking was not going to make this transition any easier. I value my independence and am not willing to give that up no matter how much I enjoy smoking. Now it's been about three years since the last smoke. The desire for a cigarette is real but not unbearable. My 'replacement' for the physical hand-to-mouth habit is breath mints. Makes me laugh :). I spent most of my adult life with awful breath and now my go-to is Peppermint Altoids!
Exactly what happen to me I smoked for 10 years 2 weeks ago I was ending up in hospital cuz suddenly I couldn't breath and have pain in my chest after that I quit smoking immediately and stop drinking I'm 9 days clean and still going..
Don't they stink!
@@katawa5268 do smokers realize that they stink or is it they've done it for so long that they don't notice it or are oblivious to it?

You can feel.proud of yourself.....
How did you quit.
@@sepil2227 plenty of sleep
Quick question, how long did it take you to not get cravings? :)
@@lennygdmn2713 a year. Maybe a little more.
Quitting was the greatest decision I’ve ever made. 2 years strong
someone get this man a prize and a VEGAN burger to boot
I’m 18 years old and have been smoking cigs for 8 months now, I guess it’s a good thing I’ve been wanting to quit since I started, I know it’ll be easier for me if I stop now instead of waiting to do it, I hope it’ll be able to stop
Great for you!
Same
@@maxmarraccini6344 im 60 and dying, dont smoke boy, please
It's heavily suspected that I'm an addict and psilocybin was the single most effective medication I've ever used.
I've been looking to try some recently, but I can't find anywhere to source, anyone?

Freerunner06 no after 8 mins I grabbed 16 and smoked em all at once while walking through a huge forest fire
@@hobohobohobo794 sure
I’m proud of everyone trying to quit and has quit the biggest enemy is yourself.
I am scared of this😥 ruclips.net/video/iS264k4Rwrg/видео.html
For me the hardest part of quitting is kicking the habit, it has been my routine for the past 16 years and I’m only 29, I wake up have my tea and smoke my cigarette, I eat breakfast and have my cigarette, I leave the house and I light a cigarette while I walk, I go in the car and I light a cigarette, I’ll have lunch and smoke a cigarette and so on, the most difficult part is this, I do the same things but without the cigarettes, is like my body is expecting the cigarette after I eat, I don’t know how to explain it but it is truly like this, is like now I have lost my favourite past time, but I am trying so hard my oesophagus is irritated due to the smoke and I want to heal it
Werewolffy I wish you luck with quitting
u r not alone with this routine
Thanasi Kambanis thank you 🙏🏽
Ahmed Hamadi is the worst thing ever, every cigarette I light I think to myself God I need to stop, this will end up killing me, but I can’t stop what the hell, I think cigarettes are worst than heroin addictions, if you think about it ex alcoholics and ex drug addicts can cut the abuse but can never stop smoking 😩😩😩
so whats happen do u stop smoking ?
started smoking since my teenage. Got addicted to cocaine. Also suffered severe depression and mental illness. It's just amazing how psilocybin mushrooms treatment actually saved my life. 3 years clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms
they saved you from death bud, lets be honest here. and mushrooms are one of the most amazing things on this planet i wish people would all realize. they could solve a lot of problems, more than just mental treatments, environmental clean up; the possibilities are endless with fungus
@@LynneStonerI've been looking to try shrooms for depression, just very difficult to get a
reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
@@JordanRodgers-ei5wuHey! Yes very sure of Dr.johnsonshroom. a single dose of shrooms saved me from Alcohol addiction. 6 years clean. no cravings.
@@LynneStonerPsychedelics made me quit a lot of bad habits and gave me a more positive outlook on life and the appreciation for other people
@@Iconic_momentIs he on insta?
Smoked from the end of high school through my 20’s. Quit the day before I turned 30. I’ll be 40 in a few months and never had a cigarette in my 30’s. Took me about 3 or 4 times trying to quit but I did it. The important thing is to never give up on yourself. Don’t get discouraged if you break and have a smoke. It’s not the end of the world. Just keep trying to quit. You can do it!
That's crazy I always said I would smoke in my twenties and quit when I turn 30
Yea it took me about 5 or 6 times maybe more i quit September 07 of this year feels great finally made it.
Same been smoking since end of high school Quit for 8 months when I was 28 now I’m 30 quitting for the second time barely a week in 😰…
I quit today or well I'm trying, prayers and support is appreciated 🙏
I swear to god if you stated back up again....
Good luck!!; I quit too, a couple of weeks ago. :)
@@marlas8218 is it still difficult after two weeks ?
In the name of Jesus you will be healed completely.
It's been a month that I haven't smoked any stick... I feel great... Reading inspiring books have developed my subconscious mind against these bad habits...
All the best 👍 Don't give up
When i stopped smoking i experienced :
1 week of extreme dreams at night, sweating and anxiety.
Took an additional few weeks before i lost the crave to smoke during the day.
But then i still had the need to sniff smoke from cigarettes of people passing by on the streets. This took more than a year for this need to go away.
For me personally it really was hard to stop smoking, it was a mental and physical challenge.
When i hear people say that they have gone back to smoking because they supposedly couldn't stop, i always comment that they were just not ready enough to do. Mentally one really needs to be ready.
I was just sick and tired of it and that is what helped me keep my foot down on it.
thank you for ur story. Congrats :D
@bill joseph The insanity passes quickly, although it seems like forever while you're there.
Play that country tune [by Rodney Atkins] "If you're going through Hell..."
I agree. I still smoke unfortunately but when I "quit" several times it was because I planned it out too quickly or family pressured me. The times I've gone the longest were when I was sick of smoking and ready to quit but it is incredibly hard. In psychology It's all about "conditioning". This is why even after a 3 month stint in jail, I came out and started smoking again. In jail you aren't living your regular day to day life. You have to learn to live the same day without the cigarettes in between. (Don't smoke while driving, with coffee, after a meal, etc etc) For me I'm just not ready. My brain tells me I like it too much even though it gets in the way of literally everything I need to accomplish with my day. Before I started smoking 13 years ago, I thought people were bulls*itting when they said they couldn't quit. Boy was I wrong. I don't wish addiction on anyone. Congratulations to you because in my book quitting is a superpower!
I'm on my 4th try wish me luck. -w-
@@damiem6172 Good luck indeed! You can do it, but the mind needs to be fully committed. Hope this time is your moment!
52 hours into no smoking 🚭. Going strong.
I quit smoking about 8 months ago, and when I say I’ve never felt so good in my life, I’m telling the truth. The first couple of days of quitting were the worst. At first I tried cold turkey, horrible idea. You gotta ease into it. Little by little. If I have any advice for anyone, it would be to find a hobby. For me I took dance class and it completely made me forget about smokin. Avoid any stressful confrontations, keep positive vibes. Trust if your a chronic smoker like I was and you quit, it will change your life trust me!!!
I watch your "what happens when you stop XY" quite regularly. I have an anxiety disorder and I can't deal well with loss of control, therefore knowing what happens when I do get the strength to try and stop smoking really calms me, thank you a lot for that! (Even though I haven't been successful just yet)
Your body will tell you when its ready.... And you help it along. Keep trying!!
Sitting here smoking thinking, "yeah this all makes sense I'll quit tomorrow"
Tomorrow..
I only smoke one pack of citrate from Friday evening to Sunday evening and then I stop for 5 days and do the same again. I don't find quitting smoking is that difficult. I can quit smoking anytime.
Godless Society. But that’s not quitting it’s just cutting down on how much you smoke. Your body is still getting the nicotine
@@drsatan1653 People said it's hard to stop, but I can sometimes I can go for months without having a single cigarette.
@Thot Patrol USA Haha, now I planed to stop smoking anyways, it's not hard for me anyways I guess. I will reply you after a year, if I don't contract Covid19 and die. hahah
i hope you did it!
Quitting today, feels like a part of me is going to be departed from my soul. Though it feels like a loss but I'm fully convinced that in the long run it will be the ultimate win for me. I will share my thoughts frequently to all people trying to quit so it will be a motivation for someone else.
Smoked for 20 years and decided to quit a little over 7 months ago. I'm surprised by how easy it has been. I sometimes get cravings, but I visualize myself smoking and quickly realize that I am not missing out. For me the anticipation of lighting a cigarette was way stronger than the pleasure I got from it.
For me it was too easy to get cocky when I lucked out with an easy quit. I was stupid a year down the road, thought I had it down. That time it was so easy quitting. After that never again.
Exactomundo ! Anticipation is a very strong & helpful, it's how i fight against alcohol to.
Sirr..
One doubt if we quit means there will no health effect right?

Been off those nasty cigarettes for more then a year now I feel blessed and so grateful
I’m so proud of you.
Take a tip from someone who has quit numerous times (the last time i smoked was 12 years ago) don't start again i quit on 4 occasions and each time it was harder and harder to give them up...
@@ComeOnPeopleThink Yes i also went throught that, last time i quit for 6 months and now that I'm trying to quit again it's worse. So i havent touched one since yesterday and I'm now feeling sick. Apparently it's quitters flu but this is the first this has happened. Has it happend to you?
@@wellthen4128 no that hasn’t happened…but keep it up the longer you can go the easier it will get…
@@wellthen4128 I don’t know if this will be of any help but I keep some cigarette around so I wouldn’t panic by not having any…knowing they were there somehow eased my mind and helped me through..
Been 7 going on 8 days of no vaping let’s gooo!😮💨😮💨😮💨.
I mean it’s only been 8 days but still, I’ll come back and give y’all an update on my journey
I've been trying to get my dad to stop smoking ever since I was 6 years old, I'm 15 now and still trying.
I wish you succeed. I'm 20 and I've tried the same. They still all smoke and I gave up.
At some point you realize they wont stop but yoy can maybe convince thrm to do it not as often
You won’t succeed. I did that too to my dad when I was little. I myself have now smoked for about 7 years, the last 5, at least, quite heavily too. I know for a fact that only the person who smokes can stop it and no one else. This applies to drugs and other things as well, it’s all up to the user and the user alone. After all you can’t tell someone to stop loving someone either, it’s all in their own head and nobody else has control over it.
I Wish you succeed buddy....my dad just pass away 20 days ago because of lung cancer, I am also an ex smoker,I quit for almost 7 year now...it’s hard to stop it... just don’t give up,on your dad...do your best,to help him and encourage him....
You must keep trying sometimes its not just addiction but fear or psychological really consider seeing psychologist with him
I qiut when i was 33 started when i was 12.
Gave up cold turkey ,my then 10 year old daughter kept saying to me every time i lit up ,"when you gonna quit dad" after hearing that over and over it got to me and im grateful for her doing that,now i can run around chasing my grandson without getting puffed out
I don’t know you but I’m very happy for you but mostly your daughter who will get to have daddy around longer
Man I'm in the exact same situation. 32, smoked since 12, have a 10 year old and a 2 year old. I gotta quit! Tomorrow is the day👍🏻👍🏻
@@MrJeb707 Tomorrow never comes it now or never😉
I wish my mum quit, I always said the same thing as a child so stay strong for your kids and grandkids :) this comment is for anyone reading it
