i dont know any smokers at all that think its easy to quit and i know a few, including both my parents
„I’m in control“
– every addict ever
Sounds like what an addict whould say.
I grew up with plenty of smokers and i cant recall anyone ever saying it was anything but a nightmare to stop.
Most people actually said its the most addictive thing theyve ever been exposed to.
As a former heavy smoker who took years of struggle to finally quit for good, most of those people are absolutely lying to themselves.
I quit cold turkey after smoking for about 12 years. Best thing I ever did. Took maybe 3-4 similar attempts before I managed. It’s very tough and you have to want it
As a former smoker and snus user, it is really hard to quit but it is also correct that anyone *can* quit anytime. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if most long-term smokers HAVE quit „successfully“ in the past before picking it up again. I always tell smokers, you are five days from freedom. After about 5 days, the worst of the cravings and dopamine drop is over and you can taste independence again.
I was a smoker for 20 years. I did quit 5 years ago.
The thing is: Not smoking is easy as soon as you want to stop. However nicotin tricks your brain into thinking that you actually want to smoke.
So you never really want to stop. And stoping just because you know it would be smart is very hard.
If you ever get to the point of ‚I really dont want this anymore‘ its actually easy. The addiction is almost entirely psychological. The physical part is over in a few days.
Indian? Is there evidence to show this is similar or different in other countries/cultures.
A lot of them are probably right. It’s just a matter of actually doing it.
I smoked for about 7 years and figured I could stop whenever. About 2 years ago I decided I didn’t want to anymore and I haven’t gone back.
It wasn’t easy but nothing about 20 packs of gum couldn’t eventually fix.
It’s hard because it’s not as difficult to quit smoking as it is to quit smoking while keeping one’s life/work performance/relationships/etc. intact. In my experience, it’s moreso how nicotine withdrawal affects others that makes it difficult to commit to quitting when the alternative (smoking again) appears to fix most of the problems that quitting causes.
I quit smoking cigs by vaping and slowly reducing the nicotine level until it was zero. After a few weeks of zero, I didn’t feel the urge. 10 years later, I still think about smoking cigs daily.
I’m an idiot.
I started a new job and if you could pass a nic test you got cheaper insurance. You had 30 day. So, I quit smoking. Took the test.
And then started smoking again.
