Quitting Smoking

[Djwero]

Hi all,

Been smoking for a long time and really need to quit. Been looking on whyquit.com and they say not to use any nicotine products whatsoever, because the cravings will just continue, i want to totally clear the addiction.

I also smoke weed (joints) which i mix with tobacco, if i quit smoking and then come to smoke a joint, i will start to get cravings again because i just got some nicotine, and i will be addicted to joints in the same way cigarettes because of the nicotine.

Anyone out there that smokes weed and was a heavy smoker that has stopped? What can i do to help, is there anything that burns like tobacco that tastes alright that has no nicotine, or can you buy cigarettes without nicotine? Any other advice?

Cheers

I smoked cigs for 15+ years before I quit. First of all you have to want to quit, not because somebody else says you should. Anyhow, here's what I did:

Monitor how many cigs you smoke in a day and when and where you smoke them. Before starting to quit try and start a set schedule of when and where you smoke. Once you've gotten the schedule down cut out one cigarette. Like I would always have one before and after lunch and I started by cutting out the pre-lunch cigarette. Your only cutting out one so you have the next to look forward to. The key here is sticking to the schedule. Try to cut out 1-2 a week until your down to 3-4 a day.

Once I hit 3-4 a day the physical addiction wasn't too strong and I only needed a little bit of nicotene to kill the craving. I went out and found some really nasty little menthol cigars that I couldn't stand. Whenever I would have a bad craving I'd light one of those up. They were so disgusting that I'd put it out long before finishing it. This helped me to basically cut my psysical addiction down to zero.

The mental addiction is tougher and even years after my last cigarette I would find myself craving one, especially when I was anxious. Youget that anxious feeling when you need a cigarette and the nicotene makes it go away. So, if your anxious about something else in your life you start to feel like one cigarette will make you feel better. Just remember that nicotene has nothing to do with what your feeling and therefore isn't going to help.

This is a longer term approach to quitting but it has worked for me. It's been over 6 years since I had a cigarette. Whatever you do, the key is being committed to quitting.

Buy some dirt cheap legal weed and mix it in to bulk it up.

I smoked for over 20 years, about a pack to a pack-and-a-half a day. I quit cold turkey, after many false starts in the preceding years, on May 5, 2003. And I haven't had a cigarette once in all that time, or any other tobacco product. My secret? I was basically flat broke and couldn't afford to smoke anymore, so I had to choose between food and cigarettes.

Eventually, food won out.

I either smoke pure weed joints, or if I want something I don't have to light every 10 seconds, I use legal stuff I bought from a head shop for about £2 for about 2 ounces. It tastes good and really helps it burn.
