my experience quitting smoking after 4 years of use [5 months clean]

[coastal]

i quit nic ~5 months ago and hot take, but the changes are kinda meh

like sure it's not healthy for you but i dont see my life being any better after quitting. if anything i have more stress, no easy way to cope with it and less focus overall.

for example it something bad happened before i always hit the vape a few times or smoked a cig, and felt good afterwards

even when something really bad happened i always stayed calm and logical because of nic.

but now if something bad/stressful happens i often find myself crashing out, sometimes screaming/punching my desk etc.

ive never had such reactions before and ive been off nic for long enough to know that it happens because of quitting it

also i ended up replacing smoking with other stimulants like coffee and energy drinks, so my "bad habits" might be even worse now jfl

honestly im not sure if i wanna continue being off nic. like i dont crave it, im fine without it, but when i logically compare my life with and without it i feel like having it made everything better

thats just my experience and if for you quitting actually improved your life that's great

some hot take testimony for u today guys

lmk your thoughts!!

i think you should start again dont wanna do too much

honestly thats probably what im gonna do. i do think i smoked too much before, but if i do a bit of smoking it's probably gonna be a good balance

but ig if i do it in moderation i can detox all the toxins if my diet is good enough

Nicotine pouches are a nice cope

Nicotine pouches are a nice cope

yea i tried them, but for me they just work too slowly. i wanna get that hit of nic and feel light headed and stuff

and for pouches it takes 30+ mins and sometimes they also make me gag

+ id rather have bad lungs than bad gums

I’m trying to quit because of the physical side effects, I can’t catch a full breath and there’s like resistance when I breathe.

If the physical side effects weren’t as bad I wouldn’t see a reason to quit

yea if the side effects are actually bad then it's probably not worth it. i felt much worse on cigs than on vapes so im probably gonna stick with vaping. even if niggas wanna say its gay or some shit at least my life had some pleasure in it when i had my forest berry vapes fml

I always preferred cigs tbh

Vapes are just too sweet and sickly, but I ended up getting vapes more since they’re more practical and I can smoke it basically anywhere

i really enjoyed smoking a few cigs with friends or at night on my balcony, but i remember how after just 5-7 days of smoking them consistently i got out of breath quicker, coughed a lot, bad breathing issues etc.

and while vaping i basically never experienced it

oh yea weed is for sure not a good thing. i only smoked it 3 times in my life and i dont really wanna do it again. shit just makes you lazy and sluggish

icl weed was the best thing in my life when i was using it, i wouldent have quit if i didnt get caught and it didnt fuck up my brain so much, i only think it fried me so much because my dealer gave me some insanly strong shit
