Quitting smoking...

[Shadou]

Quitting smoking really depends on your willpower. But like others said, try to get into some activities that would take your mind off cigarettes. Stay busy as much as you can and try chewing gum. If you got friends that smoke, excuse yourself from the room or wherever you might be to avoid temptation. I would not recommend playing video games as a way to quit, I know a lot of people who actually smoke more while playing video games.

I recently got an electric cigarette to try to help me quit (3rd different brand ive tried) and its actually helping finally. The brand I got is "metro", Ive tried the blue ecigs and they didnt help, and ive tried one other kind i dont recall the name of that didnt help.

You know all those advertisements that say "Stop smoking, and start repairing your lungs"? Well that's actually quite misleading because as you get older your lungs degrade in health (in terms of respiratory performance). This is normal for everyone who is 25 years or older.

Smoking causes your lungs to degrade at a faster rate and at the same time decreases your respiratory performance significantly. When you stop smoking at a particular age, your respiratory performance is at a much lower level than a person of the same age who has never smoked before, BUT your lungs will not heal or climb back to the normal level. Instead, they will continue to degrade at the same rate as the person who has never smoked before. It is declining slower, which is a good reason why you should quit, but it DOES not mean that your lungs are healing. The only difference is that the respiratory performance of your lungs is at a lower level than the person who hasn't smoked, and obviously it will be even lower if you stopped smoking at a later age.

This is a common misconception that people make. It is just a little piece of information but hopefully it can help your battle with smoking in some way. Best of luck.
