Lemmings who quit smoking and/or vaping, how was your quitting journey like?

I've never smoked/vaped and I do not plan to anytime soon, but I'm curious of how quitting is like once you're addicted.

  • It was actually much easier than I expected. I used to smoke 40 a day about 30 years ago . One day I just decided to give up. The first few days aren’t that bad, you will get cravings but I found the best thing to do was distract yourself. Giving up while I was busy at work was a good way to distract my brain. After a few days the cravings get less and less.

    What is harder is months down the line when you accidentally catch secondhand smoke. I couldn’t help but think “I’ve given up for so long, just one wouldn’t hurt”

    It must be easier nowadays because fewer people smoke (in most countries) but back then it was common to see people light up when they left buildings.
