Quitting (anything) has a lot to do with you as a person. Some people can just do it cold turkey - they just have to try, others it’s a battle, but it is always better to start the journey, you’re worth it.

Alan Carr- the easy way to quit smoking. It actually helps but you have to want to quit and really, actually follow the instructions. It works though.

I feel you. There's only one antidote: time.

• It's good to make a disclaimer to anyone around you at work, family, etc. You will be more nervous and you cold act like an ass sometimes. You can bet on it.
• Don't take important decisions in the next month.
• You will gain weight. Less smoke brings more food cravings. Try to compensate with walking.
• Find something to fill your mouth. I used Liquorice root (helps me also with low blood pressure so it was a no brainer for me).
• Keep on keeping on (cit.). You'll have now and then desire, not need, desire to come back smoking. Compensate that with the thought of being free. Good Luck mate.

I quit smoking 3 packs a week in favor of vaping a few years ago, and the only reason I quit vaping is because of wisdom tooth surgery. I didn't really want to, despite knowing I should, as I reasoned with myself that the vape isn't that harmful. I quit a month ahead of my surgery because I knew stopping nicotine and weed at same time I'd be a grouch and I'm glad I did! Still miss it sometimes and I'll occasionally smoke hookah or a blunt, but nice not to be feining for a hit of nicotine when I don't have access.
