Hi everyone, I use to be a member on here a few years back and it really helped me. A bit about me: I'm 31 (as of last month), been smoking since i was 15 and the last 8 months I've given up smoking completely and have been vaping. Went to that desperate to stop smoking but all it did was trade one bad habit for an other and make me into a Guinea Pig. Tomorrow is day one of my quit journey. No cigarettes or vapes. I'm quitting cold Turkey as I find that is the best way for me. Glad to see some familiar names around still. See everyone on the NOPE pledge tomorrow and please send me quit smoking vibes. Putting my all into this.

I'd like to know the site consensus as to what constitutes a quit. Is it giving up setting fire to tobacco or is it a total absence of nicotine however it's delivered.

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope

Positively NOPE !!!!

A Big Friday NOPE from me !!!

All the sticks in the counting game have disappeared....they must have gone off to soak thier wounds...after all the slaps....?

Welcome back Mrs. Guest, yes never quit quitting. You WILL succeed. I'd suggest sticking close this time. When I first quit I found that posting every time I was having a hard time found me surrounded by support from my fellow quitters. I formed such strong bonds with them that I didn't want to let them down and was able to keep my quit. You can too. We will be here to help you every step of the way As far as your ticker, you'll need to delete your current one first. Then create a new one and copy it into your signature

I spent an hour at the dentist today and I let her put her tool in my mouth

Just finished BBQ Peach halves w/French Vanilla Ice Cream & Whip Cream, topped with sprinkle of cinnamon.

I have a T-Shirt that says the same thing but it's a picture of a lobster with a pot on it's head - lol! Goes over well when I get stopped by the cops while driving

I got the cutest shoes today. Acid washed Vans

Both @Linda Thomas, i'll have one with you

Sharing my campfire. Trying to decide if I want a toasted marshmallow or a beer.

I would say that once you put that last cigarette out for good, you can say that you have quit. The ultimate goal is to be completely nicotine free but if a NRT can help you get to that point, that is great. I quit cold turkey but it took me a number of attempts. If a NRT helps you out in the beginning, that is cool...as long as you work towards becoming completely nicotine free in the end.

Welcome Jessi. You are making a great choice by putting smoking and vaping behind you. Life is much better without being controlled by nicotine addiction. Keep us updated as to how you are doing. There is a lot of support here that can help you quit for good.

NOPE...

I think I still have a few Sticks in gentle restraints. I'll check The Fun Room and get back to you on this.

So wish I had footage of the joy at the station tonight....from the platform we walk down this ridiculously long ramp at the bottom of said ramp is a chick with a dog on a leash..he's a bitsa (bits a this an bits a that) and looks like he has been through the wars, scars and bald patches... but as every person walks down he's scanning them looking for his people and then he spots him, thought he would rip the chicks arm off trying to get to his bloke...she lets the lead go, the dog bolts for his human who drops his briefcase and catches him in a hug and carries him like he was a kid the rest of the way down the ramp an up the other ramp to their car....so the dog had its paws on his shoulders and his legs sorta around his waste....best sight to end a crappy week to...an the bloke just chatted to him the whole way.

Hi Jessi Welcome back ...take your seat ,that has always been here... You have been given great information ....read all you can educate yourself about this horrible addiction Learn what made you go back and smoke ...something didn't stick in your mind ... Take smoking / vaping off the table ...no matter what ... Expect some discomfort at the beginning while you adjust ..it's all temporary...

Numbers seem unclear on what is being vaped in these cases. There are general comments that seem to indicate the majority of cases involve the vaping of THC or CBD products while others include these plus nicotine products while only some include nicotine products only. When you start looking at vaping of cannabis products, likely bought on the street from a local dealer, who knows for sure what's in it. Certainly not tested and approved by anyone yet all cases involve vaping vs any other delivery system so clearly the vape process plays a role here. It's gonna be very difficult to figure out what the culprit is here with so many potential variables. I agree with @notsmokinjo though. After what the world has gone through with tobacco products over the past 50 years, why not error on the side of caution when something like this comes along. Maybe they fear driving people back to cigarettes if they were to ban vape devices even temporarily?

Nope... Hey @Cbdave hope you and your mob were all safe from the fires...too bloody early in the year for sure.

NOPE! Happy Friday everybody!

Nope!

NOPE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you came back mrsguest. This time let's get this done. I agree that you need to stay close to the forum. Play some games and get to know us. We do want to see you succeed. It will be a tough couple of weeks and then redirecting those craves. You can do this!

I'm not as hard line on this as Sazerac, although I understand her stance and respect it. In my mind there's the nicotine addiction issue and to get past that clearly you have to stop putting nicotine into your body but, weening completely off nicotine can wait for those who feel they can not quit cold turkey (I was a cold turkey quitter, by the way). The biggest hurdle to me in quitting is your day to day life habitual smoking routine. Whether you smoke cigs or vape, it's the "garb a smoke" reaction to so many daily life events that is the hardest thing to get past and takes the longest period of time to reconstruct your life. I get the fact that some may want to soften the early quit challenges by continuing to feed nicotine via a properly controlled NRT program. It has clearly worked for some, as has prescription medication such as Zyban and whatever else that's called. I do believe that stopping the flow of nicotine ASAP is also a requirement but just not at the very start of one's quit. What concerns me more than the patch programs are these gums, sprays and lozenges. Those items seems like candy to me. Therefore, more difficult for people to control the dosage plus the temptation to combine any number of NRT's without appropriate medical consultation. Too many want to believe there's a magic bullet out there somewhere that will eliminate the hard work aspect of quitting and that's just not the case. No question, there are potential issues with NRT's but they have done a lot of quitters a service and continue to do so if used appropriately.

Although I quit cold turkey, I find nothing wrong with using NRT's to keep you from setting fire to tobacco. There's no one way fits all method in stopping imo so if it's with help from NRT's I'm all for it. The benefit for me in quitting cold turkey was that I didn't have to kick nicotine withdrawal down the road which is what happens with most NRT's.

Welcome back Jessi. Good call on giving up the cigarettes and putting vaping in the rearview. Freedom is straight ahead.

Well done !!!! 0000

Hello @Jessi welcome back. Glad to meet you, and you know the drill.

Confession: I don't allow eating of the pizza on the couch...if the kid chooses to eat pizza she must set the table with a cloth and all. Vile foul stuff that it is.
