Good Luck... I mean That with the best intentions you can imagine.

Eddy, hang with my story, if it don't help you, perhaps it will someone...

Smoked from age 13 as well.
I had always known that I must quit by/before age 50...
only because I have known 'your body can recover better than it would have been if you had never smoked at all'. But you must quit before the body slows down and you are still healthy enough for the body to fully clean itself out. It does require some moderate exercise.

I had been smoking about 2 cartons a week for about 20 years (for some outside the us, thats 400+ cigs a week) and had always been at a 1 pk a day since a teen.
When after I realized, one week, I had finished the second carton in only 6 days... I remembered my age, just having had a birthday, and knew the time was now or never.
I was 53 at the time I stopped.
Here is how that went down...
I did have that last pack from the second carton. I told myself to ration it how ever I thought would be benefit but I was buying no more.
I had already limited smoking to just 2 areas in my house 7 years before just because I got tired of cleaning everything all the time and offending visitors.
SO I would go to the basement to finisih this last pack 1/2 to 1/3 of a cig at a time while everyday I was still smoking, I scrubbed something down with light soapy clorox water. The vapor will clear your lungs by the way.

Anyway, much to my surprise, I did not have any issues once that pack ran out about a week later. So for 3 days, no issues... I could not believe it because every time I had tried to quit in the past always at least came with a fever if you can believe that.
# days of this and no withdrawal issues. I had to just push my luck...

So... I went to the local watering hole a had my favorite... drank that down and still no urge.... give me anouther one I said with a very large smile....
Well,, about half way though that second, it hit me like a ton of bricks....
All of the anxiety and nervousness was all there all at once and I screamed s...
'someone give me a GD cig right now !''
I smoked half of it, finished my drink and went to buy a fresh pack.
I smoked about 2-3 of them from that pack 1/2 at a time.
So the next day I went to the vape shop.
Bought a variety of things to help me stop.

If you are considering the same, I will say, don't buy a toy.

Yes nicotine if addictive, but it really is not harmful unless you get to much.
Quickly lower the amount you vape with after you are well satisfied you will not smoke again.
Most of the dangers with smoking are everything but the nicotine and mostly the additives they have.
The RJR's of the world have done everything they can to stop the mass migration to vaping over smoking and much had little impact so they made it a kids issue.
In WV, vaping is worse than smoking pot ! Go figure.

Anyway, I did not smoke again. But, once a month while having a drink at that same watering hole for the last 4 years, I smoke one cigarette to tease myself.
I have no desire to continue a smoke more. But, as they say, my mouth tastes like a ash tray 10 minutes later.

Smoke free for over 3 years now, I like vaping but have cut the nicotine back to the minimum of 3mg and gotta say, still addicted to the nicotine, but it does not bother me like cigarettes did. I find other benefit from the vaping and the nicotine that I'm not willing to argue here, so I won't.

I CAN ONLY SAY, IF IT WORKS FOR YOU, DO IT.
It has to be clear that cigarettes are not your friend in old age.

Here is some science to put behind what some of you go through while quitting....

The weight gain some of you experience when you quit normally comes from the fact that after 2-3 months, your body has cleaned itself up for the most part but not entirely and all those calories you were burning unknowingly cleaning all that garbage out of your system are not getting burned off anymore and you can expect some weight gain if you fail to exercise. And I don't know why nobody is telling you that. It's the truth.

Yes some do eat more but not like you think. You are just paying more attention to it.
Try just switching off to eating better food. Fruit juices and veggy's a plus.

But as I say.. it's what you think will work for you.
If you must, read everyone's story and maybe you will find a method that works for you.
