Is it REALLY that hard to quit nicotine?
    #19210627 - 11/30/13 11:32 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I've gone through phases of smoking cigarettes daily for a while, maybe a month or two, but never had any withdrawal symptoms when I would stop due to money or whatever.

No matter how many times I go back to cigs (or hookah more so lately) I never feel the slightest bit 'hooked.' To me they are 100% non addictive.

But then other people act like its the end of their world to stop smoking cigs for a while. They say "I have a headache," and I'm sitting here with throbbing joints from heroin withdrawals going "really? you have a headache? poor baby."

thoughts? obviously it affects some more than others

its all in their heads. i've quit many times without "withdrawls".  It's just.. one day i wake up and just smoke one and start again. :shrug:

Its a weird mental addiction.  No physical withdrawls, you just think about it.

Yes and No. I never go through any widthdraw unless i'm drinking, then i crave one. I used to smoke up to 2 packs a day. Now i dont usually have one unless i'm stressing or have anxiety.... or drinking. When I drink I can chain smoke a pack, then go two days without touching one.

It's very different for different people. I'd compare it to compulsive eating than any other drug. It seems to me the addiction is almost like food vs alcohol,opiates,meth,weed.

I've quit multiple times.
It's a bitch to quit. The first few days/week absolutely sucks.
My most recent time quitting however, was on 4 drops of liquid LSD.
One of the most introspective trips I have ever had.
I had no troubles quitting this time. It was almost as if the L had completely taken over the part of my brain that normally had me craving cigarettes.
The only times I ever crave them are when I'm drinking or really stressed.
Jamaican dog wood helps me with alcohol cig cravings tremendously though.
Just discovered this a few nights ago.

i've quit cigs after a long hiatus from tripping, but still used my ecig, now I'm cig free, except for an e-cig, harder to quit than regular cigs I bet.  You just cant win. :undecided:

i dont think its that hard to quit cigs, i just recently "kind of" did. i wasn't heavily addicted or anything, but i didn't smoke for a week (which i know doesn't sound like much) but it was pretty easy. i only smoked for about 2 months before that, so its not like i was massively addicted or anything, but still. the cravings i experienced weren't really that bad.

For me quitting isn't too difficult, it's staying off them that's the issue... It's just so easy to pick-up the habit right where you left off after weeks/months even years of being smoke free...

i'm pretty suprised there are so many people in this thread who aren't easily addicted to cigs.

They've found the genes that seem to control it, and its genetic.

cigs are very addictive for most people, thats why almost no one quits, and the people that do quit smoke for about 20 years before doing so.

Thats why starving people will trade food for cigs.

when i try and quit i lose all control of my brain and emotions.

I think it's the habit of smoking that becomes the biggest issue, at least for me.

I've become so accustomed to smoking after or during activities such as eating, sleeping, waking up, sex, video games, smoking weed, drinking booze, work break, artsy time, etc. I basically feel like it's become a part of my reward path in my brain, and I associate it with feeling accomplished or busy. So when I try to quit, I find something missing in every routine I partake in during the day.

Also, it doesn't help that it's socially accepted to be a smoker.

Do I get headaches? No way. Do I get all :crankey: and eventually give up? Yessir. :yesnod:

Plus I eat more food when I try to quit smoking, and I used to be a chubby kid so I don't want to get fat again.

if they really want people to quit stop all this shit campaigns and plain packing shit and get to the real problem, there avalible at just about every shop, petrol station, supermarket, liquor shop, milk bar ect.

Yes, but its completely mental though. I feel like Im more addicted now because I dont tell myself, "Im not gonna get addicted to this" after every cig.

They are addictive, but not that difficult to quit if you just put your heart into it. I've quit a few times over the past 40 years ago, but 2 years ago I just decided to quit once and for all, and I did. Tobacco free over 2 years now, and don't miss it one bit.

It's easier for young people. If I don't have a cigarette I'll be more bored than anything.

No offense dude but nicotine is a weak substance. Maybe druggies just have a better time with it. :shrug:
