How do I quit smoking? (lemmy.ml)

any piece of advice is welcome

P.S. Thanks to all the people that have taken their time to help me (and not just me, but others as well). It is much appreciated, and, from what I‘ve read, the „cold turkey“ method seems the most appealing to me. I‘ll quit smoking today, on the 7th of November 2024.

I’ve quit smoking multiple times, sadly you can go back to it after some time if you decide to experiment with it to maybe teach yourself to be “casual smoker” (which you won’t be, believe me), or like in my case smoking weed mixed with tobacco has put me right back in nicotine addiction. I’ve quit smoking 2 years ago now, I was sick of that shit.

You took breaks. Maybe this last time is quitting, but not if you start back up again.

If you call 5 year period “a break” then sure, it's a break. I don’t think it makes what I said any less valid just because I went back to it. It can happen if you loose attention on that problem, and it’s easy when it’s no longer a problem
