Tobacco Thread, it's glorious and we should quit.

started smoking in college, 6 years later started working offshore so I started dipping when I couldnt smoke, 5 or 6 years later of smoking and dipping I quit both for about 3 months before going back to dipping. Smoke free for 7 years now but can't shake the dip.
This is my goto

Started dipping as a way to stay awake during massive tower guard shifts that are boring and make you sleepy

Kept dipping cuz i'm a man

Been a pipe smoker for about 13+ years now though only about 6 pipes in the collection so far, mainly enjoy Nightcap and a few different aromatics. Learning curve to get into it but once you get the hang of it it's really enjoyable and always a new blend to try.

Day 6 of quitting cold turkey. Have been sleeping better and just feel better in general already.

Good work. Rule of sevens. Days,weeks, months.

The physical addiction is broken in a week. That mental addiction though.

Whelp, it'll be 6 years in January that I quit smoking. I do believe this January will be the time I try to kick the dip. Should be interesting...

i am 17 months nicotine free at this point and feeling wonderful. I rarely get cravings anymore which is nice. I put on about 20 lbs but consider that absolutely worth it. I started working out about 2 months ago to get my weight back in line.


Make it happen bros, it really is worth the trouble.

Oh man, i need this thread.

Started buying cigarettes from my sister when I was 13 for $1 each. Bitch.

Very rarely smoke now, but the only time I don't have a chew in is when I'm eating or sleeping.

Nothing fixes the oral fixation. Sunflower seeds come close for a few days until your cheeks start bleeding.

I chewed Grizzley for 15 years. There was no magic bullet for me other than toughing it out to 6 months. After 6 months the cravings pretty much stopped. Eat more, drink more, do whatever you gotta do to make it to 6 months totally nicotine free.

The morning cigarette with coffee is the only thing about smoking I miss. Oddly enough I quit the same week as Julian according to this thread.

So I need to quit in a week.



Buying a house in 30 days. Got a girl that I REALLY want to impregnate. Stopped 99% of my drinking. Can see my dick (and abs but I don't want to humblebrag TOO much). But I fucking LOVE to have my morning cigarette and overly strong coffee as the sun is coming up and I just watch the beach. It's primal how much I enjoy it.

Amazing how a girl can make you want to quit smoking eh?

I've met a lassie who doesn't smoke so naturally I don't smoke around her and don't even want to. I've been using nicotine gum as a crutch in the mornings but the issue I'm having is that when I not seeing her it's straight back to the roll ups.

I need to spend a solid few days with her to boot the habit and try and strengthen my willpower.

From my experience those nostalgic cravings for a morning or commute cigarette aren’t nearly as bad after 6 months. Those nostalgic cravings always got me, after two months I’d be feeling better and I’d go golfing with my buddies and think,” A chew right now would be awesome, what could it hurt.” Next thing I now I’m stopping to buy a can and I’m fucked. Just do what you gotta do to make it to 6-8 without smoking. Maybe you gotta cut out the morning coffee too if you associate it with smoking too much and it makes you crave.

Started smoking at 19, quit 4 months ago at 40. Fiance did too. Trick was we got sicker than shit and ended up literally in bed for a week, so we didn't go outside to smoke (thank god for no-smoking apartment). By the time we were feeling better, we didn't really want them. I mean, we WANTED them, but we didn't NEED them. So we decided to make a go of it and here we are 4 months later. I have put on some weight, which sucks, but I'm already working on that. We still look at each other every few days like "you know what would be GREAT right now..." but quitting with someone else makes it easier.

I've already stopped coughing quite a bit, and the extra money not spent is nice. I wish all of us quitters the best. Ironically (?) I've been having minor issues catching my breath (often) since I quit. COPD finally caught up to me? That'd be a pisser.
