I started smoking after 5 years of not smoking when i was in the hospital in the summer, they let us go out for smoke break and more than half the patients smoked, a caseworker got us our smokes and stuff once a week. I've been trying to smoke less and going from cheap cigars to cigarettes thinking of trying the gum -any of you quit smoking, how did you do it? I've only been addicted for a short while so I hope it's not too hard to get off of them.

I suggest vaping as an alternative...
not ideal but at least you don't inhale
the tar and other unsafe chemicals in
smoking, a pipe cigars or cigarettes...
that are linked to respiratory problems
And if my memory serves me right,
I think you have shared problems with asthma.
Correct me if I am wrong.

And something I gleaned recently is the UK govt
are about to authorise been able to get vaping
products on prescription.. as an incentive to get
folk off tobacco.

The patch and then wean down as the box instructs. I don't know about Canada but the USA has a program that you call the toll free number as they send the patches to you for free.
I quit that way twice but my addiction is heavy over 40 something years of smoking.

I've heard the vapes are bad too.
I decided to smoke my pipe, a pouch of pipe tobacco can last me 2 weeks and at $25 that's not bad, the price of 20 cigarettes is $12-$15 here

I got to thinking, may be continuing to smoke for the time being at least,
continuing to smoke, during your current difficulty feeling alone, it may be the only comfort you've got.
So consider such a move when you are more content with life.
For the time being I am not so concerned of your physical well being as much as the stimulating affect on your mental well being.
Tats not to say you should not consider vaping as an alternative. as a lesser harmful practice.

I don't smoke because I am allergic to the smoke and smoking make me headache.
In other words, I cannot enjoy smoking.
What a pity.
