Wild. I've quit smoking multiple times, and thought the first week or so was unpleasant each time, but not awful. Each time I started up again it was because my ex-spouse started smoking again and was pushing cigarettes on me. Since the divorce a decade ago, I haven't had a cigarette. And that was after about fifteen years of smoking around a pack and a half a day.
I know that quitting drinking all at once can straight up kill you, if you're a hardcore alcoholic; I've known a few people that had the shakes every time they were sober.
Oof what? You must never have smoked a lot despitewhat you say. Because ive tried to quit a few times and ive only been smoking for 8 years, but every time after about a week i start coughing almost constantly. And the only thing to ease it wad smoking again.
Everyone is different, maybe they got lucky. I quit about 15 years ago, and I still have cravings and I’m often smoking in my dreams. Nicotine is the worst.
Cigarettes, cigars, and pipes still smell wonderful to me, and if was free and wasn't going to kill me, I'd absolutely start again. But I haven't had any real cravings or dreams about smoking since about four months after I quit.
