I started this blog 4 years ago and am happy to say that the method of replacing cigarettes with candy worked a treat. Sugar helped me quit smoking along with a will to quit. I put on some weight and then got rid of it after a year or so. I had smoked since I was under 10 years old.
I did want to quit and didn't force it, but repeated failed attempts will help you get there in the end. A doctor recently mentioned this on a Joe Rogan Podcast. So if you don't feel ready, don't be afraid to try as it will help with that final push. It helped me to "be ready" as I simply don't let cigs get into my head now. I refuse to visualize them. Sounds simple and it is. Plus it works.
Stop Getting Cancer from Smoking with Sugary Treats
I quit smoking 4 years ago and my body has now probably repaired itself. 92% of people who quite before they are 30 years old will not die due to smoking related diseases. I was 37, but fingers crossed that percentage will not be much different for me. What ultimately made me want to quit was remembering the very long deaths of people I knew who got cancer from smoking. They went before they wanted to and that helped convince me it just doesn't make sense to smoke.
It isn't logical to smoke.
When you are ready you will know. Then get some cranberry juice to help get the nicotine out of your system and eat as many sweets and candies and you like in place of cigarettes. You can deal with the weight much more easily in future. Throw your ash trays, lighters and packets of cigs away.
Good luck quitting smoking.
Update 2020:
I am now 5 years cigarette free and thriving with
eCommerce tools blogging. I think being smoke free is easy. I now don't need to try and force myself to ignore the smell when others smoke. I kind of like it sometimes, but not in a way that makes me want to actually start again. Easy-peasy still.
