I used to smoke, and each time i've quit it hasnt been too hard on me. For a while i used an e cig, but i got bored of that aswell. Nowadays whenever i get the urge to smoke i usually get discouraged by the price of a pack, the amount of cigarettes i would have and the health effects. These things are usually enough to turn me off from it
Now, when i see someone smoking i think about how the cigarettes have enslaved them to keep smokin. Qutting is really hard for some people i guess, but it's not good for ya mate. Even the electronic one is bad. There hasn't been enough research to show that they are harmless or even better for you than normal cigs.
benzos are not the answer either, in my opinion. you should try to replace it with a better hobby. Sometimes if i drink a cup of coffee it helps to give me a similar boost of endorphines to my brain. Cigarettes are easy to give up if you know what to replace them with.
If you need to take one of those pills to stop you from poisoning yourself any longer, then by all means do it. But otherWISE you should go for a less radical route if you can.

In all honesty, it sucks. In my experience it's worse than quitting alcohol, opiates & benzos. Expect a very stressful first week or two in particular. Look into herbs that help keep you at ease for the beginning - weed, kratom, kava kava will help you tremendously.
I'd avoid alcohol for a bit too if I were you, alcohol was always what pulled me back into the habbit in the past before quitting for good.

I am a little confused by what you mean about ecigs not being safe. Obviously they remove the #1 harmful effect from smoking cigarettes, and that is the massive amount of smoke inhalation.
Nicotine itself can be carcinogenic though, regardless of what form you get it in, I am assuming this is what you mean?
To op-
Good luck, I have never had to deal with cigarettes too much aside from the occasional one while I am rolling so I am not sure how bad the WDs are, but just remember that they will be over soon. Keep the benefits in your mind to try and cover up the cravings

Yeah, That too but i dont know if its very safe still. The mechanism of an e cig is a metal coil which heats up. If certain metals, especially tiny coils that get hot fast reach a certain temperature they can release toxic chemicals.
Back in the day I used to smoke one, and sometimes it would give me a really harsh metallic tasting hit.
Even though they appear to be safer than real cigarettes and almost certainly are, this does not attest to their overall safety as a device in general. Given that the vapors are inhaled like a cigarette, you are absorbing whatever toxins that may or may not be in the vapor.

You could try something like wellbutrin or chantax.
It might make you crazy, though. I was on it for depression after being on an SSRI that made me completely emotionally numb for like a year, and when I took wellbutrin last year I got knocked off my ass by all that pent up emotion and every single time I had a moment to myself throughout the day I was sobbing hysterically. I was pretty depressed about things in general, so it might've just been readjusting to actually feeling things again.
Otherwise it was aight.
I only smoked for two years. and I quit gradually over time so it wasn't bad. It was actually kind of unintentional - quitting was just in the back of my mind. I had a habit of not smoking for like 2 weeks or so, and then chainsmoke constantly for like a day or so, either from stress or because I was drinking(and could not resist enjoying a nice night by poisoning my lungs over drunken conversation, which is still sometimes hard to resist, but I manage). Then I'd take another 1-3 week break, and eventually I just didn't crave it anymore, and if I did, I'd end up smoking one and immediately regretting it. Chronic bronchitis around that time definitely helped, too. One cigarette would have me coughing violently for the next 24 hours.
Idk how much that method would work for you, because I feel like I was more addicted to the ritual of having a cigarette and sitting outside, or going for a long drive than nicotine itself - I had an e-cig for like a month before losing it, and that was what really set the quitting wheels in motion.

While I haven't been addicted to cigs before, this is the only thing about them I find appealing, which is just the act of smoking them. I only really like menthols because the sensation you get from smoking and the sensation you get from menthol feel really awesome to me, but I hate the smell of tobacco and nicotine was never my cup of tea

The A1 Kanthal wire used in most e-cig coils does not get hot enough to give off fumes
As for the rest of your post, many studies have been performed proving that in general the vapor from e-cigs is in fact roughly 100 times less harmful to the body than tobacco products
I suggest you stop spreading misinformation and educate yourself, there's a link in Shroomism's signature that goes into great detail on the safety of e-cigs and e-juice
It irks me when people make their own conclusions about e-cigs when they haven't done the research and don't actually know what they're talking about

Propylene glycol has been used in hospital ventilation systems for over 70 years because it is a potent germicide and actually promotes lung health; vegetable glycerin is simply metabolized by the lungs into harmless organic compounds, which are already found in our body
The only variable that could prove dangerous is the flavorings, but if that concerns you then simply vape flavor-free ejuice; I myself don't give a fuck because vapor is delicious

Wooah buddy. I have not come to any conclusions based on my speculation, but it is nice to know they are doing studies.
It would be nice if you could post some of the material? or send a link?
To each his own.
I was merely stating an opinion of mind, and im sorry that you perceived it as me trying to disinform people lol.

Do some research first its widely known what i've said. About swedish snus that is, them indians have shitty tobacco, dip is pretty alright but still theres a chance for cancer, but they ferment the tobacco which swedish snus doesnt. It's getting extremely popular over there in the americas

It took one Google search to find compelling evidence to the contrary. I think you need to do some more research.

That made me crack up laughing. Go to snus reddit or something and ask. Or just do more research.. :P Theres even a 60 minutes(the tv show) on snus. Trust me i've researched it to death, if it was minutely bad i would throw it away and never look back.
Even dip is 99% "healthier" than cigs. Im a tobacco expert if i might say so myself.
In sweden there is more snusers than smokers, and sweden has the lowest tobacco related diseases than any other country IN THE WORLD.

The companies that sell it acknowledge its bad for you. You're only fooling yourself.
"Warning label on a container of Swedish snus. The text reads: "This tobacco product may damage your health and is addictive"
Yes it's the safest tobacco product.
No it's still not good for you.

I've been nicotine free today. The first day isn't bad, or the second. The third gets harder and the nights with friends who smoke are the fucking worst and it doesn't even feel like a fun night. If feels like I'm intentionally exposing myself to triggers in order to re-route my brain's circuits.
My ashtma and allergies keep making me want to quit, and then I try, but end up smoking. It's a chronic cycle. I quit for two months, until I had a really bad time on 2c-b and mxe at a show and had to go outside and smoke/talk to someone.
When I stopped smoking for the first two months, I was calling, then amusing, and then eating a ton of mints(to mimic the feeling of the snus) and etizolam.

Swedish match the company has asked the FDA to remove all of the warning except the "it's addictive", i have no need to argument or persuade someone, ive done it lots of times its pointless.

Snus is the shit. And what the OP is saying is 100% correct. I am 0% bias as I quit years ago. But I have done research. Dip is much healthier than cigs. MUCCCHHH healthier by far. But disgusting IMO. Snus and ecigs are by far the best consumption methods when you factor in money spent, health, and saftey

it sounds like OP is full of shit, but its true. Snus carries little to no risks. I assume it is a tad unhealthy, but negligible. I have currently quit but noticed little to no difference on lungs, mouth, teeth etc

You gotta admit, theres a slight chance that these studies could be done wrong etc. But there's a damn lot of science pointing to snus being generally healthy
IMO one should still quit becuase addiction to anything is unhealthy
Even after I quit habitual use, I would use it once or twice a week and it was still quite enjoyable
If I were you, I would quit completely for a month or two, then if you feel comfortable, enjoy it weekly. enjoying a snus with a coffee was damn nice on a sunday morning. I usually quit both snus and coffee otherwise

You gotta admit, theres a slight chance that these studies could be done wrong etc. But there's a damn lot of science pointing to snus being generally healthy
IMO one should still quit becuase addiction to anything is unhealthy
Even after I quit habitual use, I would use it once or twice a week and it was still quite enjoyable
If I were you, I would quit completely for a month or two, then if you feel comfortable, enjoy it weekly. enjoying a snus with a coffee was damn nice on a sunday morning. I usually quit both snus and coffee otherwise
Yep thats my plan man! Im going on a vacation soon and ill probably quit it then and if i go back ill use it sparingly, Tobacco can be extremely euphoric, especially smokeless. Where are you from btw? Which brand did you snus? Portions or loose?

Im from cali
I couldn't find any quality so I used to get it shipped her via online
I used portion (I guess that makes me a homosexual in the snus community )
I actually forgot the exact brand but I had to dig up my old tins/cans. I was dipping and found general nordic mint at a gas station and realized it was amazing stuff
I proceeded to switch completely to general (the gray container one, round container) and general mint (the one in the blue round container). I got sick of the gas station snus and ordered online. I can't remember but it was some sort of long portion general that I liked the most. I also tried some of the mini ones. "catch" eucalyptus was a go-to. I ended up really taking a liking for the taste. The taste (in my opnion) is what makes snus so great. Idk what it is but its miles better than dip

Ahh General long portions.. i used to love them! Too bad they discontinued them but they put out a new range of snuses which are basically General long portion anyway.
