I'm smoking for about 5 to 6 years now and I was wondering how I can quit smoking? I keep on trying ways on how I can break it. Making myself occupied is good, but it didn't work for me in a long run because making myself stress makes me feel that I want to smoke. I've stopped using this site because I'm studying myself on, how can I stop my bad habits. I tried alternatives like a vape. I was able to stop smoking, but I started smoking again after 3 months of vaping. Every day I keep on blaming myself that if I smoke someone might smell it, or someone might get angry because of the odor. Until Feb 8 2021. I've decided to stop taking it. Complete stop! My body isn't looking for it. When I didn't feel anything when I see my cigarette boxes, unlike before that when I see it. I'll take one and enjoy it Well. I'm so glad that I was able to end it, and I'll try my best not to take it again. I was even throwing a joke to my partner that (oh, I'm tired. Can I smoke?) and she will say "go ahead", but no I'll not.

You're totally right! Every month I was spending at least $20 - $30 because of it

you are right. There are people in the neighborhood who smoke and we really hate it The smell of it makes us dizzy. No one smokes in the family so our noses are quite sensitive to the smell.of.it.

Indeed, and I always say that to myself that doing it every day or every 2 hours every day isn't good not only for myself but also for my neighborhood. Even though I was trying to avoid it by going to farther place but still I can't stop to do it on my place since I have work to do. Luckily I was able to stop it. This is the fourth day and everything is great.
