How do I finally manage to quit smoking?
Hello
I am a smoker and I finally want to quit. I once managed to quit for four years straight away, only to then start again due to various problems that I don't want to go into here. Yes, I know it was stupid to start again and it's unhealthy, but now it's like this and I don't want to do it anymore. I've smoked since I was 14, but I'm finding it so incredibly difficult to quit. My husband smokes, a lot of my friends and family smoke too, and it's just become a habit to sit comfortably on the balcony or wherever and smoke together…. Does anyone have any ideas how I can finally quit? Nicotine patches and all that crap don't do me any good. Distraction doesn't really help either, because this stupid craving for a cigarette keeps coming back. Mentally I really want it, but this stupid urge to smoke……😫. Does anyone have any tips for me on how to stop?
I would be happy about tips 😊

I didn’t smoke long (5 years, 20-30 cigarettes a day) but I managed to get a squeegee in front of these things by taking rumors in a small bottle that I couldn’t suffer at all (to bsp lavender) and then whenever I felt the urge, I smelled. So after the time, instead of the pleasant cigarette, I always had lavender in my head, which is why I had no more bock on it.
However, I still have to tell you, 3 years that I am now smoke-free, that the urge for a cigarette still comes up here and there. I found the solution for myself, that I then put in here and there (fits every half years) and for me the urge is completely still.
First of all, I think it’s a headache to stop losing weight, you have to have the muzzle full of it to be thick or to put the cigarette in place.
Imagine goals, motivations (Challenges), why you want to give up smoking, so it’s easier for you.
Will not be easy and fallbacks are likely, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up.
Gradually stop also works, for example, you usually smoke 20 per day, then tomorrow it’s only 19, on which the day are 18 etc. (Tagesrationen), then days where you simply don’t smoke and the spectrum where you would be smoke-free then expand again and again.
Great success!!!!!

I may not be the right adviser, because I’ve always been a non-smoker. I smoked a single cigarette as a teenager. Why? Not because I wanted to, not because I believed cigarettes might be great. No: I’ve been digging the group pressure. Many in the class have smoked, it was cool, and I didn’t want to be out completely. I wasn’t bad after that, but it tasted gross, just like I expected. My “view” was saved, and I never touched a cigarette again.
Not quite. I played in a theatre play some time ago, where I had to smoke, or at least suggest. The holding of the cigarettes in the samples and the performance for maybe 10 minutes has made me really unwilling. You taste the nicotine, the biting taste, on the tongue, even though you only hold that thing in your hand. That really surprised me.
Why do I tell you? I would like to show you that smoking in itself has no positive aspects. It tastes gross, nicotine (or other substances in tobacco) causes reluctance, even without smoking itself. Nikjotin was also exactly “founded” by the plant: insects with great hunger to spoil eating. And it must be absolutely inconvenient.
Why do so many people smoke? Do they feel that differently? No, they don’t. The brain is just overlisted because it wants to have breastfeeded his addiction. The connection with pleasant things (conversations, community, listening) and the disappearance of the physical withdrawal symptoms cause the brain to positively evaluate smoking. That’s why you smoke. And you have to break through this evaluation of your brain.
You must realize that the calming after the first train is what the non-smoker always has. You have to realize that you really don’t need that stuff anymore. I know more people who used to smoke, and everyone just stopped: decision and end. No slow smoke, no nicotine patches. the will to stop, the last cigarette, and the end.
A smoking environment did not make it easier. But maybe you can motivate some of them by your example, just stop it? I wish you a lot of strength!
From nicotine, the body is pampered after a few days….
The great hurdle: The habit. Everything is linked to cigarettes, only if you smoke for a long time.
So one would have to bite “in the sour apple” and rather crumble around the whole everyday life. Find replacements.
Some people get served a trigger by which they find the beginning. In my ex, for example, the game of his son (this one was in a “so do as if” game after the smoking father and then said proudly “Look at Papa, I smoke – just like you”).
My father had a medical situation (just before a complete heart attack).
By the way, my father had a few years later and again the thought “Hmm, now a cigarette would be nice…. as usual in such a situation.”
Meaning the brain is reminiscent.
