Cold Turkey.
Every other day used to be a nightmare. Then once a week or so. Now, it's every now and then. I really thought about an ecig but decided to just pack it in.
I smoked right up until having part of a lung removed. After that I gave up cold turkey. Well you would with a couple of tubes draining blood coming out of your side into plastic bags.
That's harder to do when you're on the e-cigs..
I know a lot of people who have switched to the proper vape box things, but they’re now just vapers instead of smokers. So I’d say they’ve helped quit cigarettes but not helped in stopping completely just by using them.
If all else fails, meth.
I've noticed loads of mates place too much emphasis on the "addicted to nicotine" part thinking that's the whole problem when the routine/habit plays as big a part.
Its hard but giving up means just every time you want a fag, don't have one and it gets easier
All I would say is that one of the singers in my band went from being a very moderate smoker to absolutely caning a vape box, and he tells everyone he's given up smoking. Apart from the as yet unexplored consequences of coating your lungs with melted down boiled sweets for hours every day, his singing has gone to shit.
He's lost about a third of an octave at the top end, he has no vocal stamina any more and his pitch accuracy has become so bad we've had to drop eight or ten songs of his from the set.
He refuses to accept he has a problem, but he is inches away from me firing him, he's just not earning his keep any more.
Then went cold turkey - which i found much easier than using the ecigs and less painful.
Went back to 4mg nicotine gum and the odd fag only with a pint.
Obviously it's better if you can just use will power, but i do actually enjoy vaping, and after moving on to a proper set up its night and day different to the cheap 'starter' ecig kits. I will quit one day if it starts becoming unenjoyable (as smoking did) but for now i'm happy.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Another thing that helped me was concentrating my efforts on something else. For me weight and exercise. I forgot about the fags after a while.
Keep at it mate you'll get over them!
