Greetings!
To quit cigarettes permanently. I am a 21 year old from Hawaii that has relocated to China permanently.
Cigarettes are cheap here and smokable almost everywhere. Despite these facts, my fiancée hates cigarettes with a burning passion.
She has thus asked that I quit smoking cigarettes, and has urged that I switch over vaping and hookah exclusively. Since I value our relationship more than cigarettes, I am all game.
I promised her that I would be cigarette-free as of December 1st, but I have slipped up a few times since then.
Whenever my vape runs out juice or the hookah bar is inaccessible, I smoke. Altogether there have been about five incidents like that.
Last night was the most recent one, and that is what has brought me here.
I need new strategies; I need like-minded friends with similiar experiences.
Few more fast facts:
- smoked for seven years (three years heavily)
- come from a family of smokers
- health is not a major reason for quitting
