I miss how cigarettes used to taste man. I’m not sure if it’s because they’re loaded with additives now or what but all cigarettes taste like shit to me. So even if I wanted to pay the ludicrous price for them, it’s still not worth it for me.
You might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).
Yeah it did, it caused a mental shift on how you look at it from giving you something to taking something away from you instead.
I dont really feel tempted at all long term, because I had tried smoking one a couple years later and it was like sucking on an ashtray. Because I was no longer addicted I didn’t get the relief anymore that smoking gave, and that let me move on more fully.
Fuck I miss smoking. If there’s a heaven it will be well stocked with Marlboro reds and quality coffee.
Smoking will bring heaven closerrr

They taste like shit when you don’t smoke.

One of his best.
In Islam, Heaven is supposed to have rivers of wine (that are not harmful). I bet that extends to all drugs/shrooms/whatever as well
Heaven! Where heroine Tuesday blends seamlessly into crack pipe Friday!
Interesting. I miss vaping bananas and cream vape juice. And peach, and mixed berries.

This book was how I finally managed to quit smoking well over a decade ago.
Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?

That’s really great to hear!
