So regrettably, I'm a smoker (tobacco, no no weed) and I have this sudden urge to have one of em nicotine sticks, problem is, it's 1am so unfortunately the shops are closed lmao, the 24/7 that is open is a little too far away so I can't be bothered to walk all that distance, How can I resist the urge? Well say, for at least, 7 hours?

I'm sure someone smokes on NB, So most of you might be wondering "why am I asking such an aberrant question on anime forum?" well, dummy! I need help ofc.

Stop craving for a smoke?
That's the question you dumbass. Emphasis on the english language. Proper reading.

You have to stop it yourslef and limit it. Or get a therapist or some friends to help (if they dont smoke) .
I only smoke like 8 a day. I have limited myself from a pack a day, I haven't had one through the whole day :/

Try going to sleep.

When you wake up, buy an extra emergency pack of lung-cancer givers in case of emergencies like this again.
Sure.

have a smoke
I can't.

I can't.
Again, putting anything in your mouth can help because its an oral fixation. eat something crunchy like pretzels, suck on a button if you have to.

Again, since you're a girl, i am obligated to suggest felatio

Think about all the consequences in the future and not at the moment.
Malignant neoplasms ("cancer")

lung cancer
Cancers of the paranasal sinuses, oral cavity and larynx
lip cancer

infectious diseases

Otitis
chronic rhinitis, chronic infection / inflammation of the sinuses and larynx
acute Bronchialinfekte
pneumonia
tuberculosis

Chronic inflammatory diseases of the bronchi

Smokers' lungs with chronic narrowed bronchi and pulmonary emphysema (COPD)
bronchial asthma

... also think about all the people in your life. Your girlfriend, your parents, your friends, your future kid and so on and so on.

Keep that in mind and throw all your stuff in the river and just change your way of living bro.

I am chewing on bubble gum and it's helping, but barely.

You need to overpower yourself over smoke. I used to smoke myself, until I forced myself to stop.​
I am trying, I went from 2 packs, to 8 cigs a day, I think that's a huge step.

I don't smoke cigs but I smoke sheesha. I have been in a situation similar to yours a few times before and all I can say is try keeping your mouth busy with something else like gum, a drink, etc...

Can't help you that much since I don't smoke but I googled it and I found a helpful WebMD page. Here are some of their tips:


First, you need to learn to delay the urge. There will be an urge to smoke -- almost immediately. Any given urge to smoke lasts about 30 seconds before diminishing again, Arvon says, so you need to do things to keep your mind and body busy until the urge fades again. Some options:

  • Take 10 deep breaths, walk to the sink, pour yourself a glass of ice water, and drink it slowly.
  • Fix a healthy snack. Something that makes your breath and teeth feel fresh is great, such as carrot sticks or a citrus fruit. Or suck on a peppermint.
  • Keep a paperback book with you on a subject you want to learn about. When you feel the urge to smoke, pull the book out along with a pen or highlighter and read a few pages while making notes or highlighting passages. “You’re occupying your mind and your hands with something other than a cigarette,” says Arvon.
  • Take out your list of reasons why you’re no longer a smoker and read it to yourself. Out loud if you have to.
  • Call a friend or a family member who supports your efforts to quit smoking. You don’t have to talk to them about smoking or quitting -- just hold the phone in your hand instead of a cigarette, and talk about sports, the weather, or your next vacation until the craving passes.
  • Go high-tech. Download a quit smoking application for your smartphone that helps you delay your urges. Try Quitter, which tracks how long you’ve been smoke-free and shows you the money you’ve saved. Next time you want a cigarette, check out your riches instead.
  • Remember that jar with all your old ashtray contents? Keep it handy, in your desk drawer or under the kitchen sink. When a craving hits hard, pull out that jar, open it up and take a big whiff. “It’s really disgusting,” says Arvon. “It makes you want to never see a cigarette again.”
Full article:


Also since it's 1am, like Tera path suggested, try going to sleep. Anyway, hopefully you can eventually quit dude - way healthier option! :)
