I don't get why quitting cigs is supposedly so hard, just don't smoke them anymore
Literally, one night while drunk I just tossed them fuckers in the trash. Been 2 years now with 0 nicotine.
Get yourself addicted to cigarettes, you will understand very well.
I smoked unfiltered American Spirit rollies daily for half a year and was able to stop no problem. To be fair I have other addictions that may have simply overroad any of the chemical fuckery a normie fag might have to tussle with in their own nicotine addiction.
I try not to be prideful but seeing what they did to Johan is agonizing and I hope that his relative financial security is some small solace to the absolute agony of his twisted existence,
>for half a year and was able to stop no problem
Great now try quitting after 10+ years retard
You feel kind of goofy for like a week, it's not a big deal.
you don't know what you're talking about retard
yeah I do
You feel almost drunk for a few days and very aggressive. Optical migraines mess up your vision. You get over it.
nigga what
?
You don't really sleep properly on weed.
This is bait. If you said something this retarded to me irl during this "goofy week" I wouldn't hesitate to assault you
I've got some dents in my fridge. But I work with animals and I never hit them. It's mostly psychological.
>But I work with animals and I never hit them
what work do you do
Bestiality porn
hunting kennel
>I work with animals and I never hit them.
I would like to think you don't. I'm a little concerned you even brought that up
Nicotine withdrawals give you a strong desire to hit things, I have friends who teach grade school and it's been an issue the last few years. Higher than normal levels of damage to walls, lockers, and furniture.
>10+ years
it's equally difficult to quit after 2 years and after 10. not my problem your discipline is zero. bet you watch porn too.
t. stopped smoking after 5 years
lol, ur mad at that anon because you are weak. get a grip of yourself haha.
you will never be a woman
Unfortunately replies in this thread will be guys who are at most 22-23 and don’t have a grasp on addiction.

Good. Pride is the lynchpin of entitled, shitty rot on this earth.
>having pride means you're entitled
>pride is a "rot"
congrats on having the most retarded post on Cinemaphile right now
smoked 40-60 cigs a day for 8 years. Wanted to quit for years, didn't enjoy it. Just quit one day.
Sure I had abstinences. The first 2 weeks were hard due to physical addiction, and took about a year before my mental cravings went away.
Quitting fapping is harder.
Why would anyone quit masturbating? Its a natural thing to do, it's good for you in moderation
I'm too good at it. If masturbation was a sport, I'd be world champion. I'm talking orgasms that makes your hips almost dislocate from your body and you just sit with a blank look on your face afterwards for 10 minutes.
Are you free later?
Can you explain more? The only time this happened was when I discovered it at 12
I smoked 2 packs a day at my worst and was able to quit cold turkey, stop being a weak bitch
On the addiction index nicotjne is the same as heroin haha
Thats only because cigarettes are able to be bought from any corner store or bummed from someine instantly. If heroin was that easy to procure its a different ballgame altogether.
Quitting heroin was borderline impossible, couldnt get up or go outside or eat or drink or sleep, vomiting bile for days and my entire body on fire.
quitting cigarettes was kind of annoying for a week or so, mostly a mental thing.
Nah, you can lock someone in a room for 10 days and they've kicked their cravings for heroin. You can lock someone up for 20 years and they could still smoke a cigarette right out of gate. That's why there's no detox centres for smoking, it's with you for life
>10 days
You're so unbelievably wrong that you must be fishing for (You)s.
I mean he isn't exactly wrong. You're just addicted to the pleasure, nicotine induces structural changes to your brain to make you want it more
Those are acute withdrawals for those ten days. After that you still have a lifetime of post-acute withdrawals like cravings, like any addiction. Theres no detox centers for smoking because there arent any debilitating acute withdrawal symptoms. You mostly just skip to the mental part of kicking the addiftion , it's a million times easier.
Like the other anon said, I can get a cigarette in my hand in less than 5 minutes, that in itself make quitting a lot harder. And the fact that it has no debilitating effects from withdrawal also make you far more likely to just smoke again
where's alcohol?
That's total bullshit. I was always on and off with smoking for over 10 years and just stopped cold turkey a month ago and don't plan on starting again. I look young for my age and it finally dawned on me that I'm going to be old someday. I love pussy too much and like the fact I look young so fuck smoking. Not saying nicotine isn't physically addictive, but it's the same as gambling addicts. It's a fucking joke and can easily be curbed with proper diet, exercise and sleep. You're just a fucking slob if you can't quit and need books and patches/gum to help. No will power whatsoever.
When you're a NEET it becomes very important to you, something to pass the time and break up the monotony. Especially when you're under the influence
>something to pass the time and break up the monotony. Especially when you're under the influence
I've heard people say this a lot with alcohol that drinking breaks up boring evenings and how being sober is just so boring. Same thing with drinking/getting drunk at social events. I never understood it. Seems like normies should be happy being sober.
>le normies lives are perfect because they can hold a conversation
Go outside
I didn't say normal people have perfect lives. I just don't understand how normal people who have a family, friends, social events, hobbies, good job, etc. feel like their lives are so boring and need to use/abuse drugs and alcohol just to feel excited.
All relative innit? Plus they might just have a family culture of drinking. If you grow up and your parents are having a few drinks every evening and every family event is full of relatives getting drunk, you'll likely develop a fondness for it too
You literally cannot quit until you want to. It’s not even a physical addiction.
It’s like
says. When you quit, you get bored for one fucking second and say to yourself “man, I could be smoking right now.”
It’s a LOT of mental shit.
>You literally cannot quit until you want to
That's like saying you literally can't speak until you open your mouth
It's mentally the most addicting thing I've ever quit. I had to detox from oxy and that shit was more physical and once it was out of my system I was over it. To this day if I even think about cigarettes I want to smoke one so bad. It's a shitty thing to get addicted to because you'll always crave it.
I started smoking while drinking. Then it turned into smoking when I was bored. Then one day I just decided to stop and never had a single craving or anything
I smoked from 15 to 21 and very frequently until one day I just decided I wouldn't anymore. It's over 15 years later and only time I ever smoke is socially when I'm drunk and I feel like shit the next day.
Only weak willed homos can't stop. To be fair, you have to be pretty stupid to start smoking cigarettes in the first place.
Smoking cigarettes is one of life's little pleasures. Honestly I don't want to live in a world where a man can't smoke a cigarette if he feels like it.
Bring back smoking pubs I say
I'm addicted to porn so I guess it's like that
99% of addictions are unironically like this
also they're saving money
I very rarely smoke but I want a cigarette right now just after reading this thread
What about pipe smoking? I've been doing it about once a month for a year now and dont feel any issues from it
Woeful post. Get it together pal
My apartment doesnt have any outdoor areas, I dont want to walk 4 blocks to park just for 20 minute smoke
Put a sock over the smoke alarm and open the window like a man
people cannot even quit sugar
try not eating or drinking anything with sugar for 2 weeks and see how you do
unironically this
we are addictied so much shit that is just normalized
of course smoking is bad for you, but so is eating mcdonalds
I know smoking is bad and choose to do it because it feels fucking good, the same way a fatty eats a whole cake on a random Tuesday
>the same way a fatty eats a whole cake on a random Tuesday
Literally me
Ive quit cigs on and off for years. ITs not really quitting, just how long of a break before your next cigarette.
I agree. Just don't visit Cinemaphile anymore if you don't want to. It's that easy.
I smoked for over 10 years and quit easily but I can't quit shitposting
It certainly isn't as heart wrenching as he makes it out to be in his post. What a fucking sissy seriously
the hardest thing about smoking is that it's habitual
walking somewhere?
have a smoke
waiting for someone?
have a smoke
talking with someone?
have a smoke
it just feels natural
I'm addicted to biting my fingernails, they're raw and bloody half the time. It's fucking impossible to stop, I've been doing it for 20 years and I do it without thinking. Cigs would be easier, just don't buy them.
Tell me about your childhood
It was fine. I just started doing it one day as a kid and never stopped. I sucked my thumb a lot before that, I guess.
I've got naturally weak front teeth (my father smashed his diving into a swimming pool and had to wear caps for his adult life), one of them has just been slowly grinding down over the years. Still can't stop.
>I'm addicted to biting my fingernails, they're raw and bloody half the time.
Based nailbiter. I'll even chew off the skin around the nails too. Thankfully they don't look too bad, but if anyone looked at them up close they'd be able to tell. As a kid I used to do the same thing with my toenails. I stopped because I chipped a tooth on my big toenail. Every now and then though I'll go in for a little treat after cutting my toenails.
Look up iron deficiency and a condition called pica
Thanks, anon. I've gotten my iron tested a lot though, especially recently, and it never comes back low. I think it's just a proper habit and not really indicative of anything physical.
this
just stop
you don't need a book or 'patches'
is it even really quitting if you're using patches
no no it is not
what a homosexual
I've been addicted to a few things and cigarettes were definitely the easiest to quit. Oh no, 3 days of headaches and being easily frustrated, AHH IM GOING INSANE!!
Aha. Was the other thing heroin?
This, I would smoke pack a day and the next thing I know is that I don't smoke for the next few years
That's literally what I did. Shit was so easy. I smoked my last cigarette, then just never smoked another
That's why I literally did with every drug. Even heroin. Tried it once, didn't get what everyone was going crazy about it and stopped. I'm stonecold sober now and don't do any drugs at all.
ok youre so cool
Genuinely based
Used to smoke about a pack (20) a day, generally in social situations and a few spaced out. Just quit one day, no gradual tailing off, just totally stopped and didn't bother me. If someone else smokes near me the smell is attractive but I never started again. Fucking easy.
>nicotine patches
You didn't quit the cig
>day three
I’m on day two of nofap going strong bros
day 4 of no weed
havent slept in 4 days but its stunning how little food i actually need to survive
I would quit weed, but I don’t want to also quit eating and sleeping.
This is a big reason why I never got heavily into weed to begin with; I'd already heard the horror stories from older guys whose sleep was fucked up for months after they decided to quit. It gets better but god damn it sounds annoying.

Looks like he keeps yoyo-ing in weight too
quitting smoking is actually super easy. i dont know why people keep saying its hard. literally all you have to do is stop putting a cigarette in you're mouth.
thats actually no bullshit all it takes. ive done it like 4 times. the only reason i ever start again is because i work shitty jobs and smokers get more breaks.
You didn't quit if you keep going back to it dipshit
Alcoholics are even worse
>NOOOOOOO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND!!!!!! I HAVE A DISEASE THAT FORCES ME TO POUR ALCOHOL INTO MY MOUTH NOOOOOOOOOOO
The thing with alcohol are the withdrawals. They are dangerous as fuck.
They even have their own thread here that the jannie cunts usually overlook and delete other threads that should remain because of similar reasons. Fuck alcoholics, it is such a slow addiction to even get, it is their own fucking fault.
muh imagine drinking
imagine stopping you sad cunts
imagine seething
Alcoholism actually sucks though anon. I picked it up during covid, before I'd drink maybe once every 2 weeks, once a month if I had a bad time.
Started working from home, started drinking near daily since I had nothing to do, became a functional alcoholic, but now I can't go more than a few days without drinking at most. It's actually awful, I'll catch myself not thinking about it, going out and buying a bottle when I was trying to convince myself for the past few days to just stop.
For me? Its the shites in the morning
>started drinking because you couldn't find anything to do while by yourself
There are greater issues in your life than alcohol
God, I hate wineos because they're emotional babies then pretend to act le based boomboom.
>quitting fapping is actually super easy. literally all you have to do is stop rubbing your penis
wow anon you are super duper smart!!
To smoke cigarettes you have to buy cigarettes. There is no barrier to jerking.
You don’t have to actually smoke on your smoke break retard, just buy a pack and take it with you but never open it
>smokers get more breaks
I see people post this kinda shit all of the time but i've never worked in a place where smokers get some special treatment to be able to go take extra breaks just because they feel like it, management would chew anyone out trying to get away with this shit.
I've been smoking since 15
I'm 27 now
I've been smoking since 14.
I'm 51 now.
I'm also an oldfag and I quit at 41 with vapes. Vapes are a fedora for your mouth but lung cancer is no joke. My Father's circulation got so fucked from smoking they told him he had a couple of years before they would take one or both legs off.
Vape.
Vape isn't better. You're just going to be sitting with a new kind of cancer instead.
>a new kind of cancer
which kind?
Personality cancer (hipsteritis)
Aerosol isn't good for you. The only difference is that long-term studies aren't going to be done with vaping until they have data from 10+ years. I guarantee you that vaping will prove to be harmful for you, possibly not as bad as smoking, with vapers sitting in the shit groups of disease in every long-term study of it.
But feel free to risk it. No rightminded person is going to recommend going over to vaping as a way of stopping smoking, unless you can quit vaping 100% easier.
>I guarantee you that vaping will prove to be harmful for you
>inhaling shit into your lungs is harmful
wow, we got a genius here
you asked, retard. apply your brain.
what kind of cancer, retard
use yours
What kind of cancer what, shit for brains. There's no way of saying what a new cancer looks like before it appears
Even if vaping has ill health effects there is no way it could be worse than tobacco. Vapes are mainly VGE, PGE and nicotine
Tobacco has hundreds of chemicals
You can guess, but you'd have no idea. Sucking aerosol down 24/7 might just hit you different in the long run, like asbestos being related to some whacky rare form of lung cancer, even though nobody really knows the exact biological cause
don't bother arguing with vapetards. its useless
Very true, but I look at it like this:
Cigarettes: Guranteed death
Vapes: Maybe death
I'll take the maybe

I've never touched a cigarette, but I do love a cigar. Its a nice, relaxing thing and time kinda slows down sunce they take a while. Its great to sit on my back porch a couple times a week and smoke one for an hour or so.
a cigar is entirely different from a cigarette
The way his appearance keeps changing, he seems very insecure. He naturally has a nasty israelite fro, why is his hair straightened and bleached? His beard is aggressively graying. His glasses are impractical, if you don't have steel or titanium frames you're just playing dressup. His shirt is ugly and made of the wrong material, you can't do anything in clothes that hook on everything. He looks like his chick dressed him.

im 24, been smoking since I was 12 on and off, started properly when I was 17. By the time I was 19 I was smoking 2 packs a day I was in China so I could actually afford 2 packs a day i am now down to around 10 a day, I don't think I could ever quit fully, I honestly enjoy it too much
No you don't you absolutely brainsapped retard
You weren't made to love smoking, you don't "love" smoking any more than you're "rich" for taking out a loan
or any more than people's brains are hardwired to love midget amputee porn before birth
They do it anyway because they took out loans on their happiness (dopamine, serotonin, whatever): happiness NOW for about 5 minutes and pay it back later,
then upon getting deeper and deeper in debt all they can do is take out loans
You need to declare bankruptcy!
If you could feel right now how you'd feel just 3 months from now without doing your thing, smoking, drinking, porn, whatever, you'd take that feeling over the next cigarette, drink, or fap every time
>If you could feel right now how you'd feel just 3 months from now without doing your thing, smoking, drinking, porn, whatever, you'd take that feeling over the next cigarette, drink, or fap every time
No I wouldn't. Because I know in 3 months I'll still be a piece of shit paying rent in a deadend job with no one who loves me. I was straightedge before and it never felt great.

That's a pretty based incentive to quit smoking tbh. Make sure you live up to your end
just think of shit like u want to be alive to see your child graduate or something. although i don't even think smoking is life threatening to most people. there are smokers who live up to 100+
The oldest woman to ever live smoked like 3 cigs a day
>day 3
Nicotine patches honestly work extremely well if used correctly. At least they did for me. You also will need to quit drinking for the duration of your patch cycle though.
They worked well for me as well, although I didn't quit drinking. Fucked up dreams though
I couldn't shake the cravings after 2 or 3 drinks and would always crack and smoke so I just didn't drink for 6 months (the duration of the patch cycle and then some time after to be sure). I sometimes still get a craving for one after some drinks but it's much much easier to ignore now.
Idk, you have to actually want to quit and then quitting is pretty easy. I smoked for 17 years too so it's not like that other anon who smoked for 6 months then quit (doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about).
Kek ciggyfags truly are weak minded retards. Smoke another israelite stick LMAO
>He says before downing a can of liquid israelite

What a fucking child. Do these people not have family or friends do have casual conversations like this with? Why is this social media worthy?
Starting to look like Christopher Biggins
somebody just needs to beat this guy to death, put him out of his own misery
If you have a stubborn personality trait then quitting is easy. You can train yourself to use it to your advantage, the harder something is to quit, the more it will incentivise you to keep away from it because you're too stubborn to give in (and part of you enjoy the torment and challenge that comes with it).
That's called maschoism not being stubborn. I want to smoke, I'm going to smoke fuck you, that's stubborn
No, that’s you having no impulse control like a nagger. It’s no one else’s problem what you do, you fat ugly cunt.
I just really like smoking mate
you sound upset, how about a nice smoke
>day 3
Yeah I feel like Adonis when I dont drink for 3 days too lol and then I remember how hopeless I am haha back to the bottle lmao
Haven't been sober for 3 days in a year
Im getting there too lol. On my own now so less shame in having booze at the place. This season of the Truman show will be interesting
>tfw got so blackout drunk on my own I laid naked on the bathroom floor and shat myself because I couldn't sit on the toilet
WHAT A LIFE
I hadn't gone more than 4 days in about 5 years. Decided to quit earlier this year. Haven't had a drink since January 30.
What did you do to keep away the boredom and existential dread
Just tried keeping my mind occupied on something. Actually started playing video games again. I hadn't played anything during the last generation so there's a fuck load of games available and they're all cheap. Legitimately helped me during the first few weeks because whenever I got bored I'd start thinking about buying a bottle. After a bit more than a month I stopped thinking about booze completely.
See I already play vidya and drink.
>gf
Yeah no
Picked it up during covid too man
Not him but I can pretty much quit smoking and drinking easily if I have unlimited access to sex and food instead. Just take a week or two off work and go somewhere quiet with the gf and just bang it out

Carr literally says to go cold and starve the nicotine monster. Jonah is such a fucking homosexual
Stopped smoking but now i masterbate 4 times per day instead
Taking care of myself and spreading kindness to my fellow man.

I quit smoking cold turkey and it was a piece of piss

Using nicotine patches is not quitting. That's like saying you quit drinking because you started pouring it up your ass.

If zoomers honestly look to this for inspiration zoomers truly are a lost and hopeless generation
Both my parents just quit cold turkey. I've quit drinking, weed, and coke and different times in my life cold turkey.
I am convinced the world is full of pussies or self-discipline is a genetic trait.
He's one of the few guys in Hollywood i feel genuinely pity about. The transformers kid too
I understand that not everyone has the same experience with nicotine, but I just can't imagine not being able to go cold turkey. I believe people when they say it's tough, but it's never been for me. Back when I lived in Japan you could smoke EVERYWHERE: bars, restaurants, arcades, etc. So naturally it was a thing I picked up because I hung out exclusively with degenerate partiers. After I moved back to America I just never bought another pack and never thought about it. Honestly I've had a tougher time putting down kratom, not that I've really tried too hard with that one.
Take a look at something like food, which isn't even chemically addictive like nicotine. Even so, some people are genetically predisposed to find it unfathomably hard to lose weight. We can't step into their brains so we can't accurately gauge how it feels for them.
>IDGI why do people say it's hard to quite
Like of course you don't get it, you're physically incapable. You don't have the same kind of brain.
>im going to quit my nicotine addiction by consuming nicotine in another way
Didnt know Biggins was a smoker.

Addict cope. Removing the smoking part doesn't make you better.
jonah the non-smoking israelite
I think he needs to get a better facial hair style. Otherwise, he looks good.
Speaking of addiction, how bad is Internet addiction for the brain? Let's say hypothetically that you've been browsing the Internet and playing video games on average 8 hours a day for 20 years, how would that affect your cognitive abilities?
I dunno but same for me, but almost 40 years of at least 8 hours of internet a day. No idea how I’d live without it because i never have. I’m the beta test of zoomers(it doesn’t turn out well).
It has destroyed your brain.
Oh well. My parents were teachers at a university so we had the very early internet in the 80s, and they told me I’d ruin my brain on it even back then. Guess what, now they spend all day on it too. As does everyone. So we all go down together
You're coping.
Maybe I am but it’s a fact that nearly everyone is addicted to the internet now
Drug addictions are mostly a meme
Its PORN that will really fuck you up
>extremely pleasurable drug you can get any time anywhere that will make you feel as good as the best drugs temporarily but leave you feeling soulless for days afterwards
>gets worse and worse and you get more desensitized the more you do it
yeah, nah. Porn is the worst addiction there is. I went a year without it. Now im back to relapsing every month or so. Deleted all my stash of rare videos and pics so i guess its big progress
It should be illegal in all honesty. Legalizing it was detrimental to western society.
I think it’s just how your brain is wired. I know people that struggle huge with food, or porn like you, some that gamble away all their money because they can’t stop. I don’t have issues with any of that shit even a little bit. But drugs fuck me up. And none of above people have issues with drugs and mostly not the other issues the others have. I think we are all just wired a bit different. The only constant is addiction seems to plague most people in some form or other
