Went from social smoker to addict

[Deleted member 25211]

I was thinking to just switch to vaping and then quitting that way.
Is this even a good method of quitting?

Just don't buy anymore

Pretty hard when you're addicted and around other smokers

Dont be around them.
When I quit drinking I don't surround myself with drinkers.

Just leave them alone for a few minutes while they smoke? Don't have to be attached to their hip

Problem is im too attached now so I smoke in my own time now.
It's completely fucked my fitness.
I'm just wondering if vaping is a good way to move on from smoking and then quit vaping altogether

I have a very addictive personality which is good and bad cus I can get addicted to something good for me or something bad like smoking.

no u dont

if u did u would be having 8 digits in ur bank account and not worrying about smoking and longetivity

u r just making up stuff because u r a lazy phaggot who has no self discipline and no self control

 

[looksseg]

As a lookmaxxer you should overcome this thing of "is hard to me", its literally 100% in your control, its literally just a decision, not do something anymore

Will be bad at the beginning, but you'll overcome. Just dont buy anymore and never smoke anymore, quit completely

In general for addictions is better to stop completely, instead of trying to stop slowly. Reason is that if you try to do slowly each time will become better and better, so you will crave more, and will become harder with time

Well all those are just assumptions cus you're projecting

I find myself doing this but then I fall back into it over and over.

I never said I have addictions. How am I projecting lol.

Go back to Reddit faggot, looks like I pressed where it hurts u. No self discipline.

I'm not hurt, you're the one lashing out for no reason you sound pretty insecure man

 

[slayer69]

No I didn’t lash out, I called you a faggot because why not and indisciplined because that’s what u r
nothing wrong with being direct

 

[Deleted member 23558]

shift to cigars or shift to american spirits for a month. then shift to a disposable vape and nicotine gum or look into bupoprion/wellbutrin. use lots of coffee to replace the stimulant kick you wanted from nicotine. if u do this ull be smoke free in three months i guarantee you.

I wouldn't say im undisciplined.
You realize addiction runs a lot deeper than just discipline

Thanks. I was thinking about cigars they seem to be a lot more beneficial for your health so less of a looksmin overall.

Don’t fret. Low dose nicotine has a systemic anti aging effect . It’s the smoke and other chemicals in it that’s the problem. Cigars /pipes are much healthier but ideally you should use them rarely and use gum as your main source.

Yeah for sure.
There's a study about how nicotine has tons of benefits from enhancing creativity to focus, icluding boosting testosterone.

I went cold turkey on my nicotine pouches 2 weeks ago after 3+ years of daily heavy consumption with a high strength pouch. I was getting the nicotine equivalent of smoking 4 packs a day.

I had tremors and threw up for the first three days. If I can quit so can you...

This is mostly cope though. Nicotine can have some mental benefits, sure. But it's also a vasoconstrictor and ruins your skin long term by denying proper circulation.

 

[Deleted member 22623]

Overall nicotine is a looksmin, and if you're serious about Looksmaxxing, you should not be addicted to nicotine.

Seems to depend on the dosage. It has great cerebral benefits by deacetylating NACHR w SIR1 and allowing for greater NAD+ production while also increasing Beta NMN , both are huge for aging. Also decreases glucose hyper metabolism and increases insulin sensitivity at lower doses. Cotinine another metabolite of nicotine and an alkaloid in tobacco is now being marketed as an Alzheimer’s /PD cure.

How did you even get started ?

I used to attempt to socially smoke but I could never get through half the damn thing. Barely a hit or two. Tobacco smelled far to bad and burnt my lungs far to harsh for me to continue.

Then you just become addicted to vaping and smoke more vape

 

[Patient A]

smoking is not something u can get addicted to.

its all in ur mind that u r addicted.

Well, yes, that is the basis of any addiction
