Tfw smoke 2.5 packs of cigarettes a day

>tfw smoke 2.5 packs of cigarettes a day
>tfw it's putting a hamper on gains

anyone here managed to quit smoking cigarettes?

Wtf that's a lot of cigs. I thought I was bad at 15 per day

Smoking a pack at least every day, doesnt hurt my gains too much yet, but my wallet. Have to live on 0.2$ instant ramen to afford my cigarettes and booze

>not getting blackout drunk every friday and saturday
I know you wanna make gains and all, but what keeps you from killing yourself?

I usually have one every 10 minutes

I'm in ontario and my 2 pack a day habit costs me 30 dollars a day, they're 12 a pack now

juul by pax
it just works

2.5 pack a day*

You should try getting a cigarette machine and bulk tobacco. I did that for a while and it cost me about $20 a month.

Stop being a pussy ass bitch and just quit. It's not that fucking hard

I hope for the sake of your gains and wallets you can ease off/quit smoking.
From an outside perspective, it sounds like you're both in quite a bit too deep. You should start working immediately to counteract it.

I know that's easier said than done, but you really, really need to.

...

Sometimes I have to eat shit food because cigs are so expensive now

I was never nearly as bad as you, but when i buy a pack, its normally gone in 2-3 days. I somehow convinced myself not to buy packs. Ill bum from friends when im drinking tho. ill buy them drinks so that way we are even $ wise.

I know that if i have a pack, ill smoke it. i do everything i can to stay busy so that way i dont think about smoking. if i want to smoke, i have to be social and bum which makes me feel bad so it lowers my smoking anyway.

and I feel bad when I smoke more than 3 in a day.

even when smoking that little it affects my ability to do cardio. fwiw I only cardio 3 times a week.

How the fuck do people manage to smoke a pack or more per day? Back when I smoked I had to deliberately go out of my way to smoke more than 10

No, what you should actually do is vape.

I had one like pic related and it helped me give up fags. The great thing is that you can smoke it indoors, at work, at the pub, wherever you want (although some places ban it).

I found that I was vaping more than I smoked though, because I could vape anywhere. So I was having a lot of nicotine and was getting dizzy and shaky. So then I stopped. And also I realised inhaling all this shit was still bad (though obviously nowhere near AS bad) for getting Veeky Forums. So yeah, I quit.

Seriously, one like pic related cost me like £7 I think, then the bottles of fluid are like £2 - £3 each for the regular stuff. Go for red tobacco flavour, that's the most "normal" one. And obviously go for the nicotine stuff. They come in different strengths you can dial down the nicotine gradually

I smoke every 10 minutes

>the current year
>smoking
ISHYGDDT

How is that even possible?

And I thought my porn addiction was pathetic. At least it's free and based on actual physiological needs, not a super expensive, super unhealthy oral fixation. Get your shit together, guys

I work outside

jesus christ man, i'm not knocking smoking (i smoke when I drink/on the weekends), but 2.5 packs a day? wtf is wrong with you? i know you're not literally retarded, you obviously know how bad cigarettes are, and you smoke 50 cigarettes in one day? how the fuck do you even do that? is smoking cigarettes your job? if you really smoke that many cigarettes, say 4-5 minutes per cigarette, that'd be like 3-4 hours a day just smoking. i don't understand that shit. when i think of someone that smokes that much i think some 40 something year old lady that looks 80 and whose face looks like a baseball mitt fucked mr potato head and had a baby. get your shit together bro, i'm judging hard because i don't want you to die, and i don't even know you.

A pack has 25 in it I smoke around 60 a day and I'm 22

Quitting smoking is easy. People manage to go through withdrawals for fucking bezos, meth, heroin etc and live. Cravings for nicotine is child play if you have even the slightest amount of will power

>smoke pack a day for years
>enjoy it so don't want to quit
>'try' to quit heaps of times because that's what your supposed to do
>never really WANT to quit
>one day decide I want to be healthy
>brain switches and I WANT to quit.
>stop smoking and never start again
>I'm so out of the habit now that I can smoke socially when out with mates and not relapse

I've told this story a few times on here. The reaction is usually people get upset that I'm telling them it's easy and that 'not everyone can do it that easily' that weakness and pathetic. Really read what I said properly. You need to 100% make the decision to to do it, you need to actually want it. Nicotine cravings are not that bad.

Man I worked with a guy who smoked 50 cigs just in the 8 hour shift, had one going constantly and he was always coughing

also, at my most i was only smoking half a pack a day, but i have had some strong drug addictions in the past. i know they say smoking addiction is worse, but you don't even get anything from cigarettes. literally after a while they just make you smell like shit, you don't get any effect from nicotine. you need to get on some chantix and get a vape pen or some shit.

where i'm from there's 20 in most packs, 25 is even worse lol. fuck man you're fucking your shit up at 22. you're too young to be doing that shit, quit now while you're young and have a future. maybe you won't cough out your lungs one day. keep on like you are and i bet you'll have an oxygen tank at 40.

How do you get addicted to cigarettes? I tried cigarettes, cigars, vapes, hookah, etc, but never had a desire to actually go out and buy a cigarette or whatever on my own

Ive been smoking for years and i only smoke like 10 to 15 a day how can you smoke so much

40? I'd give him till 26 if he's smoking 2.5 packs a day

too bad you became a "fag" in the process

seriously, mind over matter and will power. WANT IT and HAVE IT. smokers who can't quit are just pussy addicts and just as bad if not worse than fat people who think they can't lose weight but really just don't because they don't do anything about it.

I fiend for them like every 5 minutes

I need to quit cigarettes because I can't afford the 11 dollars a day for them

Fucking why bro?

What brand do you smoke?

I used to smoke 1 pack a day and I had to kinda force me to smoke the last 2 cigarettes.

Try smoking american spirit they are more satisfying,but idk man,50 cigarettes a day is too much,why do you do it?

>No, what you should actually do is vape.

I smoke 60 a day, packs have 25 in them and I smoke john players standard

I live in ontario a pack is 11.75 each

you wanna die? just quit pussy, break that fucking PR, it actually requires real BALLS, unlike lifting shit from the ground and putting it down

talking about gains.. gain some LIFE for yourself you stupid cunt

You sound like I used to be OP I used to wake up every 2 hours from sleeping and have one and when I was awake I almost constantly had one going

LOL

only ever smoked 5-10 max per regular day
maybe a pack if I was at a party/club all night

recently got patches and gum, works fucking great, been over a week without a cig

feeling 100% healthier, I'm not making weird struggling to breath noises at night

knowing I don't smell like shit around others is great too

cravings are a bit intense but that's what the gums for

give it a try

60 a fucking day?? wtf is wrong with you?

my nan literally smokes all fucking day and drinks tea but i dont think she goes through 2 packs

I have a couple during the night when I wake up from sleeping, usually 3 or 4

She probably just let's them burn, it takes me like 3 minutes to smoke a king size cig because I drag hard on them

Hang around people who smoke a lot or be involved in the party scene. You get in the habit of bumming one or two when you go out, then that number goes up, then you feel bad about being a bum so that you buy a pack, then wa-la

So you spend like 25$ a day on smokes? Add that up over a month you moron

Cut one or two habitual ones out of your schedule every few weeks or so over the course of a couple of years and you can kick it.

Probably small time drug dealer or apprentice rug salesman. The "stress" is getting too much for him

Around 28 dollars a day and the worst part is I only make 12.70 per hour

I work as a landscaper

Try a book called "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Allen Carr, you can get it off Amazon. It has helped tons of people quit.

You see it's clearly effecting your finances and life but you just can't seem to put the ciggarettes down to benefit you

Wtf is wrong with you? Working hours of your day just to smoke cigs?

Seriously though OP. Drink lots of water, mix in a lemon and apple cider vinegar drink with a peppermint tea and drink 5-10 times a day initially and shower like 5 times a day (weird but it works) dont resort to eating sugars to quit it leads to smokin again . What helped me slow down and quit was muay thai and bjj. You cannot smoke ciggies non stop and do training in the morning and at night. You wont nees gym, its more fun, less chance to quit gym. I still have a smoke before going surfing but mix it with some green so im not just rewarding myself with smokes.

I smoke almost a pack a day
>TFW they're 16.75 a pack here for cheap ones

Yeah sometimes I can't pay for groceries and have to eat shitty rice and potatoes for a week

I did too when i smoked and that is a fucked job for trying to quit. Rage inducing.

And cig fits are fucking crackhead level, but somehow socially acceptable.

Wow over 800 a month on smokes?

OK so you sometimes have to pinch pennies just to eat and you spend 28$ a day on cigarettes? Where is the logic man? Quit now!

Man i guess im the biggest hypocrite because i buy like a gram of weed every day ayyyy lmao

kek get your priorities straight m8

I'd quit in an instant if I had to choose between decent food and cigarettes

You sound like an idiot. I bet you've had multiple cigs since this thread has been up. Quit now you retard. Or don't and die like the bitch you are

Yeah I've had to buy really shitty food a few times because I had no money left over after buying cigarettes

ITT faggots without willpower. If you feel its negative influence and don't want to do it, don't. Pick another pastime, play an instrument, learn a language, meditate, go suck dick if you really need something in your mouth.

Stop buying them. Stop buying lighters. Avoid places / situations where you usually smoke. Control yourself when you feel the urge. Try to imagine yourself in 20 years and that you'd want to have quit today. Put the money you'd spend on cigarettes in a piggy bank and spend it on something good after 6 months.

How weak-willed do you have to be to just keep slowly killing yourself while claiming to "not want it"?

All you need to do is not pretend you're immortal, not postpone it and not make more excuses.
Changing an addictive behavior is extremely difficult, but can only be done if you're serious about it day in day out. If you relapse, hate yourself for a few hours and proceed to do better.

source: quit heavy drinking, smoking, weed, speed and xtc. Recently quit porn which is pretty much the hardest because it's everywhere.

There is no way this guy is making actual gains smoking all them ciggarettes and eating shitty food. Because I have had experience doing exactly that. It's impossible to make gains doing that.

Theres NO way you are smoking two packs a day and preparing meals.

I've had 6 since I made this thread, I've got 1.5 packs left and I'll try quitting

kek

I don't prepare the meals my gf does

hey everyone look at this guy...just because he hasn't jerked his meat in a few days and had a cig he thinks he is some moral god

That's EXACTLY the attitude that will cause you to die smoking. Toss the fucking packs, you spineless cunt. Throw them out and if you find yourself digging through the trash, kill yourself right then and there.

"hurrrr I have cigarettes left" or "i'll quit on the 1st of next month" are such neanderthal excuses.

Read the post at the top about truely wanting to quit. The way you said that
>then I'll try quitting
Sounded so half hearted. You WILL fail with that attitude. You don't need to try and quit. You need to quit.

The hardest part more so than the cravings is accepting that you will never smoke again, you go through the grieving process like the death of a friend.

This, rolling your own is the way to go, I think I was paying like a buck per pack per day when I was smoking. Only problem is the huge money savings largely eliminate most of your motivation to quit, unfortunately

Hell even if he could just cut down to like half a pack a day it's still way better than 2 and a half packs a day because that's just suicide

I used the patches and it was pretty easy.

He is right you fucking fag

it has absolutely nothing to do with morality. It's about not being controlled by addictive behavior that ruins all your potential. I'm just saying it's possible if you take it seriously.

i used to smoke but holy shit. 60 a day.

This shit just made me angry. Your will is absolutely weak as piss, and then you come here expecting what, pity? comfort?

>"you can do it user!"

fuck yourself, make a conscious decision to put the cigarette down or keep smoking yourself poor and dead, but its your choice either way so man the fuck up and own it.

Even cut down to a pack a day (fucking lol)
start filling your life with more shit that isn't smoking. how the fuck do you have any productivity landscaping, while smoking a new cig every 10 mins?

your life, but carry on this way and it'll be over soon enough

I take smoke breaks all the time at work but I drag them fast and it only takes me like 3 mins a cigarette

I quitcigarettes then i quit my benzo habit then picked up smoking again to feel slightly sane whike going through that shit.

I quit cold.

I found it was only difficult at first because I thought about it. I said it was difficult to myself and I kept giving in.

Later I just stopped thinking. No. Every thought of smoking was met with "no." Didn't smoke again, except two or three times with friends.

"I had to deliberately go out of my way"?? For what purpose?

Enjoy your lung cancer faggot

there you go, no more smoke breaks. easy.


and when you do have a break, it's now a banana break
or a water break

or some shit you can do for 3 mins

Trudeau, pls go

>tfw can't stop drinking
>currently ruining 2 months of sobriety
lolfags

imagine if he done pushups

Quick question
How much does smoking affect my gains? I go to the gym everyday (except weekends)

Cardio 1 times a week
Lifting 4 times a week

I only smoke about 6-7 Cigs a day

Quit 11 months ago (a year on June 6th), cold turkey. Made a promise.

There hasn't been a day since that I haven't thought about lighting up a cig. It's a fucking torture. You just learn to live with it...

Makes you weak mentally by thinking you need something that you really do not

the majority of people do not smoke

Seen a couple of beef heads smoke in the parking lot of the gym before, they seem fine

Imagine OPs teeth and voice LOLOLOL

he probably sounds like a dying 90 year old at 22

Booze is easy to quit because where I live it's expensive as fuck

I used to support 12 African kids through world vison but then I started smoking and money was tight so I was forced to stop sending money.

I assume they've all starved by now.

I used to smoke 1 pack/day, quit cold turkey too about 1 year ago.

but unlike you, I did it because I wanted it. After 15 years I just got tired of the damn thing fucking me up. No love lost whatsoever, and the cravings pretty much dissapeared after a month. The 1st week was the only real difficulty desu.

I live in Canuckistan it's expensive here too lad

>tfw I used to smoke a pack a day
>tfw always coughing or clearing phlegm from throat

I can't fucking imagine more than 2 packs a day that's insane

lol u sure

I'm pretty sure there was some study that found nicotine is one of the hardest addictions to kick. Obviously different strokes and all that, but it's definitely not child's play. Whenever I've quit I go three days where I basically shit non stop, feel dizzy, angry and sleep for more than 15 hours a day. But I can do a gram of coke every day for a week straight and not feel a thing after the party stops.

Whats up fellow New England fag

I quit by chain smoking without breathing in air. You need to suffocate yourself with smoke until you're gagging and feel light headed, then smoke another cigarette. Your body remembers that feeling, makes putting down the last cigarette easier. Then it's cold turkey and willpower. Whenever you want to buy a pack you'll think of that moment.

I also find that a lot of smoking comes from boredom.
