Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 If you are a big tea or coffee drinker it's probably best to cut right back. Nicotine and caffeine have a close relationship and are very similar drugs, they basically help metabolise each other. Take one away and you might find you're bouncing off the ceiling, that's why smokers can drink crazy amounts of coffee and not appear to be off their tits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I've got a load of snus (swedish tobacco in pouches you put under your gum) on the way and will give that a go. Done cold turkey a few times, the first few weeks are surprisingly easy but I find I get caught out in stressful situations and blow my stack over nothing so I really cannot be bothered with that at the moment. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wilbur foxhound 480 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 its a peice of piss to stop smoking, all you have to do is miss out your first fag each day, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jetro 5,349 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 Fairplay to ye all for quitting. Once the first day is done that's it. Hang in there. I have eight weeks done sofar. Got up one morning and didn't bother with one. It's easier for some more than others I think. But if you really want to quit you will. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bird 9,594 Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 If you can go 24 hrs you can go 24 years .....Why does that sound like a voice of experience ? I hope so Socks Yep 25 years ago ... it's the same as giving up or starting anything ... it's down to your mental strength whether you succeed or fail ...... a strong mind will always win ..... spot on ken, I stopped 25 years ago , and it prob the only thing in my life , I made a success of . here tip for anybody trying to quit the dirty bloody things, when you get a craving for one, DRINK glass of water , it deff helps and if outside take a orange with you, and eat it , 1st it will help with craving, 2nd it will give you some thing to do with your hands try it .

Yeh you can still buy Skoal in sweden but for some inexplicable reason (big pharma/tobacco company lobbying probably) all snus is banned in the EU and you have to order the stuff online. From what I've read there is no or little serious risk of any kind of cancer now they've done proper studies and since nicotine isn't bad for you harm reduction techniques where you remain addicted like vapes etc are a much better alternative for those people who cannot kick the addiction. I find patches to be too weak and it's easy to forget to put one on, you don't get the satisfaction of the hit in the morning either, gum is rancid and the spray even more so.
