I quit by switching to e-cig first. E-cigs get you halfway, an after e-cig for a year or two, it’s way easier, for instance by reducing the nicotine level.
Best of luck quitting again. 🤞
Were you really nicotine free for 12 years and then started again?
If so, can you confirm that us smokers become conditioned to the nicotine, I’ve heard it termed smokers brain, so even after years of not smoking, you get right back in no time to the level of smoking you were at before you quit?!
OK thanks, I wasn’t aware of that, I thought it was something particular for tobacco.
All I can say is that that warning has been key for me to NOT try that single party cigarette.
It took a looooong time to not have cravings anymore after quitting. Like, almost 2 years. Maybe more. But for years I had no issues with it. Last summer I got into a relationship with a chain smoker, and to not be disgusted when kissing I thought I could smoke on occasion. That went bad really fast.
Some people are more prone to addiction than others. I am not. I’ve used loads of drugs, but never had cravings or got addicted. I did it almost every weekend for several years, but quite often I would forget to clean up the mirror from the table and I never ever thought of taking some during the week. I had no issues doing kothing for periods of 4 tot 6 months, or a few years. Never cravings or anything. Same with alcohol. No issue what so ever.
Sigarettes? Fuuuuuuuuck I’m a sucker and have no self control.
But there is a very important factor in play. Cigarette factories add loads of chemicals to increase addictiveness. To make the nicotine rush faster and more intense, to make the dip more heavy causing you to light up another one. No one adds shit to ketamine to make it more potent.
I need this in my country, but for people born after 1980. I need to quit.

I should not have started again after 12 years. I’m planning on getting Champix again from the doctor. Worked 13 years ago.

This is common with any addiction whether it be gambling, booze, or cigarettes.
