i havent had a real fag in 6 years , but i cant give up vaping now! the fact that they say its 95 percent safer makes it harder for me to stop. I honestly would be too stressed to stop at the moment, with whats going on.

Same. I’ve been trying to but stressful stuff kept happening so sod it for now. I’m only on 3mg at least
yes i thought stuff it this morning and went to factory shop for some liquids. Im only on 6mg. Also the weekends coming up what if i want a glass of wine ! The worlds too hard right now and at least its not as bad as real fags for now x
Trying to revive an old thread! Anyone planning on stopping smoking for the new year? I’m going for it and scared! Determined but know my willpower is weak!
I switched to a 10 motives e-cigarette and buy the stronger strength tips online as it’s £3 cheaper a pack than in the supermarket. It’s been about 6 weeks, I was smoking 50g tobacco a week but this last pouch has lasted me nearly 4weeks.
I intend to fully switch over to E cigarettes after I’ve finished this pouch and then after a few months, start getting lower strength tips. I have two batteries so that I always have one I can use whilst the other is charging. It has been really easy so far but I haven’t put pressure on myself by saying that ‘I’m quitting on this date, at this time and I’m never going to smoke again’, it’s just been quite natural.
ive noticed such a difference in my physical health too. I don’t get out of breath easily now and I’m not coughing up crap. The nicotine stains on my fingers have gone and I just feel so much better. It’s totally worth it.
good luck @Instagram Sham

You can do it. I gave up age 29 smoked 30 a day since I was 14. It was the hardest thing I've ever done and it took years not to get the cravings when I had a drink. Just keep thinking of your lungs repairing themselves. The money. Not dieing young because of smoking related illnesses. You will not look back. You can do it!!
i've tried stopping last year and i think it went on for about a month? scared to even think about stopping it this time because of how stressful my life is atm 
how do you guys cope with stress other than smoking?
how do you guys cope with stress other than smoking?Try the Allen Carr method, honestly takes all of the fear and stress away. I can’t recommend it enough. I was a heavy smoker and just stopped in feb ‘19. Haven’t looked back since!

I've been smoke free over a year now.
I didn't use NRT as I never found replacing nicotine with nicotine productive and worried about having to wean off NRT.
I used an app called Smoke Free and paid for the full app (£5). You get challenges, can log cravings to get a better understanding of when and why you get cravings and they have forums/live chats where you can speak to an advisor. And there's visuals of how long you've quit for, not smoked, health markers etc. Strongly recommend.
Obviously you have to do the work and an app can't quit for you but if it got me off 15-20 a day for 15 years cold turkey after many attempts with patches and lozenges etc I'll rave about it

I quit smoking after 20 years and I tell you, I fell more times than I want to count. I went back and forth. I spent £100’s on vapes, different types, flavours, etc etc. I haven’t smoked now in years and can’t imagine wanting to do it again to be honest. It’s easy for people who have never smoked to tell you how bad it is, etc, but you have to want to do it. If you do vape, try a vape that will work for you, I can’t do with the big cloudy ones, so I chose the vype epen (now vuse) that worked for me, but just keep trying every day and each day without a cigarette is only doing you good, and after all, it is only 1 day. Trust me, in time, you forget all about it, so the initial feeling that you want to it have to smoke fades pretty quick. Good luck. It really is the best thing you’ll ever do xx
I'm a repeat quitter, never underestimate the routine of smoking, I had to change my route to work, the triggers were so overpowering. Also don't tell your self you're never smoking again, just quit and If it's too hard have a cigarette and try again another day, one day youl l get to the end of a day or a week and realise you haven't really thought about smoking. Vaping didn't work for me, I found myself puffing away on it all night.
@karenjet how are you getting on?
I'm a stop starter, recently started again but would like to quit. Wasn't sure whether to start a new thread but this one came up on a search.
Any people's experiences would be gratefully received!

I found Alan Carr's book very inspiring and I also used Nicorette gum.
It took many times to quit.
The key is to really want to stop.
It doesn't matter how many times you've failed before. You will find a way once you really have your mindset focused and then it's actually surprisingly easy.
I've not smoked since 10.12.91 but I still like the smell of someone smoking near me.
Good luck

I had hypnotism and it didn't work. Came straight out and smoked so £300 wasted. After 40 years of smoking I stopped on the day I had surgery for Cancer ( not smoking related) and haven't smoked since. It was tough but doable.
I quit 4 years ago. I smoked for 27 years and never thought I would be able to stop. I read Allen Carrs book, joined a Facebook group where someone said to eat frozen grapes. Whenever I wanted a cigarette I would suck on a frozen grape. Had never had them before, and I haven’t had them since but for whatever reason it worked lol
Change your routine. Something as simple as swapping your morning coffee to orange juice in the morning, sitting in the livingroom instead of the kitchen etc. Small changes to mix it up. Keep hands busy and you can always swap a cigarette for a small sweet or biscuit to get over initial cravings. Champix has nasty side effects and will only be prescribed if you have tried other quitting
options first.
Your body starts repairing itself 20 minutes after your last cigarette.
I really struggled but keep at it! Every attempt is a step in the right direction

I have never smoked well properly though tried a menthol when I was 15 then a few puff’s here and there. Anyway sometimes when I smell a cigarette I think oh could really go one it’s weird. I work as a Staff Nurse in a Head and Neck Cancer ward have done for 18 years. Can count on one hand the people that come in that don’t smoke. That puts me off also it’s as hard coming off cigarettes as it is heroin maybe less physically.
Bizarre addiction as in nursed a patient who had been in an RTA severe head injury could not remember who he was or his family tho he remembered he smoked that’s how strong the addiction must be. I would let him smoke a straw well hold it he thought it was one.
One guy I knew stopped for 10 years one day he went into the shop and said a loaf of bread and 20 cigarettes and he was hardly out the door and that was him restarted. Sorry a weird contribution to this thread tho it’s really hard to stop extremely for the majority of people.

Ive done hard drugs and i agree that smoking was much harder to quir
A few people have said that
I've put my stop date for Monday,
After roughly 20 years, it needs to come to an end. Main reason money if I'm honest.
