Clearly the less addictive of the two would be a good replacement.

Soda is better than cigs. Aim for tea, even if it has sugar. Chocolate m&ms best if you pro

sodas contain HFCS and fucktons of sugar. i could easily switch up between those two small hobbies i have but i was wondering which one is a healthier choice.
its hard to say since sodas are not classified as a drug.
main reason is when i wanna smoke a cig i wanna go outside but you gotta do something so its either like smoke a cig or get a soda, thats my mentality.

Soda is pretty bad, but not as bad as cigs I think. Fuck it, smoke a cigarette & drink a soda. Tell me how you feel afterwards.

In the short term I'm inclined to say the cig is worse.. Over the long term I doubt the soda is really that much better for you, assuming you're drinking a ton of them a day (I'm guessing you're getting more than 1 or 2 cravings a day).
If you're worried about the soda, could try push-ups or going for a jog around the block or something.

Depends on what you weigh as worse.
Soda is probably one of the most unhealthy foods you can consume; while cigarettes are a one way ticket to an early grave. I gave up soda about a year and a half ago and since then I've dropped around 50 lbs. and my metabolism is a machine. It's pretty crazy the negative effects soda has on your body.
I'm still a tobacco smoker though... Having quite wrapped my head around that one yet.

Visceral fat can be just as harmful as subcutaneous fat
Cigarettes are bad too
Kind of a lose lose situation...but I'd go with the soda. It's much easier to moderate soda intake

1 or more soda's a day without the proper excerise would only be somewhat worse than cigs because in the end you gunna get fat, but if you actually work off atleast 70% of the energy I would think that it could work.

What's faster, the color blue or a toner cartridge?
To understand the difference in risk, look at the qualitative aspects, as quantitatively, there's too much variance (and too little significance in the consumption of one of either item) to make an assessment.

Drinking 20 sodas a day will kill you horribly a lot sooner than cigarettes would.
Replace cigs with fresh air and snack on fruits and veggies.

LSD/shrooms helped me quit cigs+weed everyday (I quit for a year now cold turkey, no relapse)
think it was the LSD, but shrooms do the same as LSD
and had been smoking for a while, up to 1/8th a day + cigs
they help us see our mistakes, so can't feel good unless I correct my mistakes also they help me appreciate what I got, don't want to do the opposite of that when I feel happy
currently trip every 1-4 months, I don't count it, sometimes only every 4-5 months, sometimes 1-2 times a month
shrooms are easy to grow and healthier than cigs or candy likely (it helped me quit daily fastfood + coke everyday too... used to drink 1 large bottle coke everyday for years, now I only drink water mostly)
daily use of any drug was the mistake, moderation is important to feel good
also I found myself, that's probably what did it, happiness everyday, don't need anything to be happy (took 100 LSD trips to get there, and egodeath in the end)
it's natural to love everything we see, love our bodies, and be happy most of the time, else we're missing some part of ourselves, how stupid it may sound :-) , it's true forgetting our true values in life, those that makes us happy everyday (nature, being social, not taking everything so seriously, doing things other than working/studying i.e.)
and pets,houseplants etc :-) , don't underestimate the value they add to your life, infinite happiness everyday from each
reducing stress is the most important thing to be yourself, but it is hard to notice the changes that stress bring
worrying much of the time, bad overview of thought/hard to think, no regular sleep, not being social, overeating, doing drugs/smoking cigs (careless about one's body), bad memory, serious illnesses (because you become careless about yourself slowly during many years) when you are yourself, you don't need anything, you can fast for days, eat as litle as you want/healthy , no need for cigs either etc.
meditation/nature/houseplants/pets reduce stress , it's important with a place to be yourself or some way to be yourself I walk in nature/sit in nature to be myself (or meditate), because I got stress where I live (always had issues with noise very sensitive to it, and very loud neighbors)
I used to work up to around 70-80 hrs a week for many years, but now I work minimum hours to be stress free, feel better that way was never happy before, never appreciated anything I had, now I am everyday and appreciate everything I got

Soda isn't particularly healthy, but it is much less addictive than cigs IMO. I would say replace cigs with soda, then stop drinking soda (or drink it more moderately)

Exercise is a good replacement
Cycle 10km everyday, then you dont feel like smoking, it gets the mood up and body feels bad when you smoke after cycling/before cycling, so you automatically quit if you cycle/run
and it gets you to drink water too, because soda doesn't taste as good after cycling

A soda you can run off. a cig not so much. Why not neither? or one soda a day?. or just stand outside for some air?

I'm going on almost 48 hours of my last cigarette.
I put a piece of paper up by the door and every time I feel like going out I tally it.
I'm doing way better than I thought and much better than the last time I tried to quit.
Ive also picked up oil pulling again, started that the day I gave up smoking
