Leave it out of the fridge for an hour or so before trying to spark it up.
I don’t believe in hypnosis so I’m going to try cold turkey.
Have you given up the ganja before? If so, how did you get on? Any withdrawal problems?
Vaping is what did it for me- haven’t had a fag for about 5 years now. But you have to get the right vape- the cheap ones will do nothing for you, got to invest maybe £50 or so and get one that will replicate the hit of a cigarette. I’ve been through a few of them!
Just a thought @shmmeee, do you smoke indoors? I only ask, because me and the missus used to - it was only the two of us living in a fairly largish house - but we would have visitors, many of who were non-smokers. However, after we'd both given up and we visited a smoker's house, the stale smell was awful! We would cringe thinking our house, which we were proud of, would have had the same odours that non-smokers would smell.
Giving regular updates on here is a good thing. It will give you an incentive. And you HAVE to be honest, even if you had just a couple of quick drags!Tried that. The best analogy I’ve got is it’s like wanking compared to sex. It’ll take the edge off but still leave you wanting the real thing.
Nah haven’t smoked indoors for years. Ex wife didn’t smoke when I met her (started at 32 the muppet) so always been the back garden.
Now I’m on my own I rent and can’t smoke inside anyway. Still went out and had a cup of tea on the back step like I was having a fag this morning!
Day one down though, I’m still here. Just getting a little snippy with people.
Yeah don’t find it addictive at all, it just helps with anxiety and again I enjoy it. Quit for months at a time before no issues. Have a lot of friends that smoke though and that’s usually how I start again.

Good news for you is that its possible to still enjoy weed after quitting nicotine. I finally successfully quit the nicotine completely when I turned 40, although I'd already quit smoking ciggies at 30 & so had spent a decade just smoking a few spliffs per day.
Nowadays I just smoke a bowl of green in the evening..(and an occasional lunchtime). 2 lung-fulls, no fuss, happy days.
I still miss the social spliff, but if I know I'm going the pub with fellow weed smokers, I take a couple of nicotine-free spliffs rolled with "greengo" instead of baccy.....its never gonna be as nice as a spliff with a lightly toasted camel or marlboro light, but it does the job & means you can still join in the smokers banter in the beer garden.
So, something to look forward to....but you need to go full on cold turkey for 4 weeks minimum I reckon.

The last time I was there was in 2014 but they’d just put in the ventilation systems so it was like nothing had changed.Is that like the shit they have in the cafes in Amsterdam since the smoking ban? Not a fan.
I did treat myself to a Pax 3 vape a while ago though and might dabble in that if I want a smoke again. Right now though planning on nothing for a bit.
It makes you think and feel like you’re doing something but in reality you’re doing nothing but sitting around.It’s all about getting through the cravings isn’t it?
Maybe ten minutes of willpower at a time and then you’re fine.
Do really need a hobby now I’m not smoking weed though. So bored.
Keep it going Mate! We're all behind you on this!Three days now and I’m genuinely not having any issues. I think not having other smokers around is making it easier than it’s been before.
Keep going!Just had a mate over to clipper all my hair off, came very close to asking for a drag of his fag when he sparked up but didn’t give in. Feeling very proud of myself.
Yeah my GF started vaping to try and give up and is probably more addicted to nicotine now than she was before.
I doubt it, but even if that was true, she has a 95% less chance of contracting diseases related to smoking cigarettes, a wise choice in my book.Yeah my GF started vaping to try and give up and is probably more addicted to nicotine now than she was before.
She cut down to 2 a day and then got one and smokes a lot more than a couple a day now. I agree it’s going to be better though, but she would have been better off just giving up.I doubt it, but even if that was true, she has a 95% less chance of contracting diseases related to smoking cigarettes, a wise choice in my book.
