Welcome!! I am still a newbie with my 7 week quit. But I totally get your tiredness of the cigarettes. I have smoked for ~45 years before I was brave enough to quit. But not after I searched the internet and found this forum and the website whyquit.com. Read as much as you can. Understanding the addiction to nicotine and what nicotine as a chemical is doing to your brain and body was extremely helpful for me to get over the tough times. There are -also via this forum- a couple of helpful video's on how to navigate the first days and to minimize the side effects of withdrawal. Don't think that it is harder for you because you smoked such a long time. There are people on this form who also quit after a long smoking history and they succeeded. Yes, the beginning is tough but it will get better. It takes time (and patience), but it will get better as long is you do not get any nicotine into your body. Writing about your quit is helpful too. If not on this forum, keep your own little diary. Especially looking back and see what you have achieved already is fuel into your quit. Quit smoking is a gift to yourself! But give yourself rewards for the fact you have not smoked. Be nice for yourself. Spend the money you saved to something nice or fun. Did I already mention that no longer having cold feet all the time is sooooo comfortable? I know there is much more but that was the first improvement I noticed. And actually pretty quick after quitting. Let us know how you get on. There is a lot of support here!

Hi, I quit cigarettes 6 years ago and I’ve been using lozenges ever since. I just quit lozenges today because they were causing problems with my teeth and gums.

Targeted Lung Health Checks) for eligible current or former smokers aged 55-74 in specific areas of England, via invitation through your GP, focusing on early detection with low-dose CT scans to save lives. The scan costs the NHS £ 750 from tax payers money. I went for my scan in July this year. On receiving my letterin June I forgot about it. The ramifications only dawned on me when i sat in an air conditioned container: transported by a lorry. As you are put in the scanner you have to hold your breath when you are told. From the intial administration, the appointment took thirty minutes. I was told you will receive the result in a week and sure enough the letter popped through the letter box. I knew who it was from so I sat down and ripped it open. I was "clear" and they would see me again in five years. Sometimes i think about my previous smoking years and the years i have quit. It brings it home that apart from all the many benefits of not smoking: the foundation of all them is your health! I smoked for 25 years and will have quit 25 years in 2026. NOPE It does not matter how long you have quit. Do not ever smoke again! What also matters it that in the near or distant future, it could save your life. NOPE.
