So I stuck to my decision and haven’t had any tobacco since I posted earlier in the thread.
I’m in a nasty mood right now and would love a cigarette. If I had one, I’d be smoking it.

My solution to the craving is a gram + of pot (several vapes full) and a good meal. Its so much easier to do now theres no work. Im kinda dreading going back to working as you dont really get breaks unless its a smoke break.

4 months cig free…how are you doin’? I still crave when peeps smoke near me but its all psychological now, no physical effects anymore. smell and taste improvement?..no… better breathing physical fitness?..have to say no as well. Feel better generally?..no…Just feel better about lowering the amount of carcinogens and pollutants entering the system, and slowing the decay that time imposes upon my existence. Cheers

Glad to hear you are still off it!
It’s sort of freaky that you revived this thread today. Yesterday (or was it the day before?) I found an old jar of really nice pipe tobacco in the garage. I decided to put a little in a joint and I enjoyed it (of course). That’s the first tobacco I have had since posting in this thread. Last evening, I rolled another joint with a bit of that tobacco and also enjoyed it. When I was finished, I thought - nope, not a good idea to start that again.
We’ll see if I can resist. Aged Escudo is absolutely delicious. Perhaps I will simply smoke it one of my tobacco pipes like a civilized person (no inhale).

GOOD FOR YOU! I haven’t smoked tobacco in a long time, I used to smoke Camel Filters or Indian Spirit Red Sage in a tobacco pipe. You can do it, and here is 2 tips: the first is simply don’t buy it- even if you find yourself bumming a cigarette from a bud, when after the 3rd or 4th you haven’t got one to repay, they’ll stop giving them to you. 2nd, BIG TIP-> wear a large rubber band on your wrist, when you find yourself thinking about smoking (after coffee, after a meal, whatever) pop yourself gently. I said gently. You are not trying to “punish” yourself for thinking about it, rather you are altering your attention with a different stimulus, it doesn’t have to be painful, it has to be attention getting, which doesn’t take that much force.
The last tip, if you fail all else and MUST get an oral fix, buy cinnamon sticks and put that in your mouth for awhile, it too will change your brains expectation. Hope it helps!

Be patient, it takes 15 years for the body to clean all tobacco remnants and disasters 
. Your first reward is winning the challenge of successfully quittinng 
, the others you will get them in the medium-large range, I went through it, congrats and keep the fight …

So i had to take Wellbutrin for a short time and this is what i can tell you. I couldn’t quit smoking cannabis or tobacco and 1 week on Wellbutrin i had absolutely no urge to smoke cannabis or tobacco. I quit tobacco never went back didn’t bother me at all, effortless. Quit Wellbutrin started cannabis again because it well its cannabis and it helps my anxiety. The morale of the story if you want to quit tobacco effortlessly wellbutrin is the drug to make it happen
my big brother got me into smoking when i was 6 years old, i was into gambling around the same age but was 26 when i got into cannabis, cannabis then helped me get rid of gambling that had taken over my life was 35 when i quit, was 50 when i found it easy get rid of tabac at that point i was smoking about 40 single skinners every day, hitting a pipe 40 times each day was a natural transition, managed quit smoking cannabis about 3 years ago i got into vaping. i go bed about 11pm every night i get 3 or 4 hours before i get up have a vape put music back on then hopefully i can relax have broken sleep but get another 3 or 4 hours in bed.
I smoked from 12 years old to 45 years old. I’m 64 now, and my only smoke is home grown cannabis.
I think tobacco on it’s own is not so horrible, but once it get processed, refined and blended, it becomes far more dangerous.

I started smoking again recently. Massive stress at work. I know its a lame excuse, but fuck it. I am keeping it down to 3 or 4 a day and I know it needs to be temporary. Good thing I have so much practice quitting.
Going for a puff right now, though. Fuck.

In my own experience, keeping it temporary is just an excuse to get started again and “temporary “ soon goes out the window
Always try to remember why you decided to quit in the first place, it probably took you a long time and much convincing to get to the point of quitting, stick with it
It took me many attempts to quit with the final time being going to a hypnotist, Romaine( not sure if the guy is even still alive, he can’t be young anymore)

Nicorette gum works but its only a different form of nicotine although it is probably less damaging to the body. I think the easiest way to quit an addiction is to replace it with a healthy addiction that will give a dopamine boost like cigs do

I smoked for a long time.
I switched to vaping and did that for a long time.
Now I just have a half a pencil I hold in my lips and do the hand to mouth action with.
Silly, but works for me.
