Atypical tips to quit smoking? - lemm.ee

I know it’s gross, unhealthy, a stupid habit, makes no sense. Trouble quitting cuz it’s something to do with hands, fidgety, restless, oral fixation I think, and it gets me out of the house. Can’t find a habit to replace it with.

A friend of mine is a Doctor. This is what he suggests to anyone who is truly interested in stopping.

  • Smoke as much as you need to
  • Start rolling your own, unfiltered.
  • Put the pack somewhere inconvenient, like car trunk or in a hard to reach box in the garage
  • Only every smoke outside, under an open sky. No cars, no houses, no awnings, no umbrellas, etc. No matter the weather.

    • He says this makes it accessible but inconvenient and not as enjoyable. Eventually the inconvenience will start to outweigh the need until you end up quitting. He says he has like a 80-90% success rate with those who actually follow through

    But how many actually follow through?

    That’s the thing about quitting you kind of have to want to.

    Plenty will want to quit, but the extra steps might have the opposite effect. I know it would’ve been for me, I’d have abandoned this plan in a matter of days, not so compatible with my usual ADHD scatterbrain. Too much organization.

    That’s excellent advice. It’s like training a dog - your brain stops associating the release of dopamine with cigarettes after a few bad experiences,
