Take an asprin and have a coffee.
watch some pornography to take your mind off of the gratification of nicotine.
I presume that there is a very good reason you are laying off the nicotine? At least I hope there is. As you are discovering, it is a powerful pschoactive, and withdrawal is no fun at all (been there, tried it, gave it up as a bad job -- not the nicotine, the quitting).If you are determined to quit for some very good reason, you may be able to. You will be miserable in varying ways for a couple of months at least. You will make those around you miserable, too.If your aversion is to smoking, however, may I suggest you try vaping, with a nicotine containing juice. You can, if you wish to quit the nicotine (which, of itself, does not cause any physical illness -- it's the smoke that does that) taper that off. Otherwise, you can happily vape...I used to smoke. Perhaps not as heavily as you, but enough. Switched to vaping. All the cardio-respiratory problems have disappeared. Try it.
The one and only solution is staring you in the eye ! Have a fag
don't have any experience with nicotine withdrawal since i've never tried to quit smoking but just be glad you aren't having bad opiate and/or benzo withdrawal. it's the closest thing to hell i can think of and i'm not big on exaggeration. i've had part of my lung cut out and woke up without anesthesia cause of an incompetent surgeon and that was a walk in the park in comparison. out of curiosity how long have you been smoking? i've been smoking cigarettes for a few years, maybe a pack every 2-3 days but when i go a day or two without a smoke i don't really experience withdrawals. well i get withdrawals in the sense that i want to smoke but i don't get sick...maybe just irritable.
I have only been smoking for 8-9 months. I started with 5 cigarettes a day (Dunhil Reds) , a lot for a beginner I know, I had pretty bad depression when I started. I built up to a regular pack (25) a day (about 2 months in), I smoked Winfield Reds, constantly. I decided I needed to cut back, so I cut down abruptly to just 10 a day. I started smoking cigars not long after, which I loved doing, but I still was smoking 10 cigarettes daily.I know I shouldn't be saying this, but Modafinil (and 'other' drugs, not cocaine), really helped me cut down to the amount I have a day now. I have only 1-2 cigarettes a day, and a cigar every few. I only got my pipe about a month ago, and only began smoking cones about 3 weeks ago.P.S - In case anyone was "wondering", I don't smoke, and never have smoked, Marijuana. My bong I use only for tobacco. My favorite cigarette tobacco is Champion Ruby. Still have not made up my mind on cigars or pipe tobacco.
what initially prompted you to smoke tobacco? was it for stylistic reasons whereby it became an acquired taste, or was it a result of you being a member of the aristocracy? If it is neither, then take that fag out of your filthy mouth for you have no reason to be consuming such rubbish unless for quality's sake.
not for stylistic reasons.
This is the only way to smoke for stylistic reasons.
1. I want to quit the "fags", which I hate referring to them using that term, they are cigarettes.2. My mouth is not "filthy", you should have referred to the cigarettes as filthy. I maintain good oral hygiene. My bottom jaw is slightly out of line with the top one, which I was born with, that's the worse problem with my mouth. If it was "filthy", I doubt girls would kiss it for free.3. How can you consume "rubbish" for "quality's sake". How does smoking cigarettes, make you achieve anything or please anyone else? Unless it's to socially fit in, which is not why I started.4. I would call anyone who started and continued smoking for "stylistic reasons" only, a complete fool. Just like someone who continues to, or started, for "social" reasons alone.Anyway... People start smoking from, social pressure/image, stress or to "just try it". People continue smoking because of social pressure/image, stress, addiction or they just enjoy it. I started smoking because of stress and also "just to try it". I continue smoking because of stress, addiction and because I enjoy it. Not for social reasons, and not for stylistic reasons.
Tough it out.Doesn't it take about 21 days? To form the habit of something and by then the body will be done with withdrawal, right?
Medical tobacco? Never heard of such a thing.
"quitting smoking is easy, i know because i've done it a thousand times" -???-
Mark Twain - American author
oh thanks, i've been using the quote for years but i never knew who said it. loL i like how you gave a description of mark twain, just in case you have been living under a rock your entire life and had no idea who he was.
...and it's all psychological, even though that can be powerful too.
something as benign as restless legs syndrome.
Curiously, that seems to be a condition that only exists in the US. Completely absent here.
Interesting. I wonder why? It's quite real, and no fun at all if you have it.
We have that too. Must be related to the climate. When it's always warm, the legs get lazy too...
I find it interesting that you said that you've never smoked pot like it was a huge deal and that marijuana is so bad for you
Besides, I am only 15. Marijuana has been shown to decrease IQ in young people with heavy use.
I wouldn't say that. Smoke inhalation is inherently not healthy for your lungs (though edibles/ pot tea get around that), so coffee is probably safer.It is worth noting, however, that 12/1000 people who take an aspirin are at high risk of cerebreal hemmorhaging.
But the method of intaking said caffiene isn't harmful to you. Also, caffiene isn't really addicting, whereas weed can actually be somewhat psychologically/socially addictive.
But the method of intaking said caffiene isn't harmful to you.
there are plenty of legitimate studies that do indicate that caffeine is addicting. In its fifth and most recent edition, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which the American Psychiatric Association publishes, has added "caffeine withdrawal" for the first time. Caffeine intoxication is also listed as a mental disorder in the DSM-5.
the studies i've read about marijuana indicate that only about 9-10% become 'addicted'. i personally smoked marijuana daily for about 7-8 years and when i quit i experienced no withdrawal symptoms.
The reality is that in 2015 smoking is socially unacceptable in most cultures. A great deal of advertising has been devoted to making it so.50 years ago, this was not the case.And indeed, smoke -- whether from tobacco or wood fires or whatever -- is bad for you if it is inhaled. I have no argument with that. Further, I am very happy that my children never took up smoking.OK. So far so good. However, it must also be recognised, if one is going to be honest about it (which the filthy fag people are not) that nicotine is a drug which has definite and fairly well understood medical effects. There are some people who, through no fault of their own, have relatively low dopamine levels in the brain. Nicotine is one of a class of drugs which can enhance those dopamine levels, which can be very helpful to these people. It also happens to have remarkably few side effects, unlike some of the other dopamine enhancing drugs, and is relatively easy to self-regulate. It also does not yet cost a small fortune per pill.
