Hey Steemians! I've been gone the past three days because I have been slammed with a some nasty sinus pressure/sickness.
I quit smoking cigarettes about one month ago! (Yaaaay, everyone cheers!) A week after the first quit I went through a 4 or so day period where I was having extremely strong pulsating headaches, fevers, and sinus pressure. Makes sense as my body is trying to flush those passages (lungs, throat, sinus') of all the toxins they have collected over the years.
I made the stupid mistake of smoking some cigs when I was at a concert the other night. I believe it reset my system and I went through the same sort of cleansing sickness again this week. Honestly, some of the worst headaches I've ever had. Truly the cigs are not worth them.
I am thinking about getting a vape soon to replace the oral fixation and also to just blow fat clouds with (cause that's fun as hell.) If anyone out there has recommendations on reasonably priced and quality products please let me know in the comments! If you used to smoke and you quit, please tell me what has helped you fight your cravings and stay away from the cigarettes!
Thankfully this morning, I am over that nastiness and I think I'll be able to go out and hang with my friends again. The worst part of feeling crappy is confining yourself to your room or house, and not being able to hang with your buds!

blowing fat clouds is a definite substitute, and will work to satisfy smoking urges.
Hell yyeah!!! gotta get that
Good for u bro!
I know a lot of people who have dropped smoking with the 12 step program.
Yeah totes! Good shit in there for sure. Appreciate the tips
Seriously, not being picky or anything but drop those cancersticks.
It's realy not worth it for you and it makes you feel like shit every single time. idk about those vapes but i guess it's better beacuse there is no tar in it .. right?
yup, especially once you stop and come back. you can really feel it isn't doing anything but satiating the need in your head.
if the vape doesn't have any nicotine it's probably not too bad. probably worse the amount of pot I smoke anyway haha
Thanks for reading and I appreciate your support!
Even a cigarette can give you a sense of freedom if you know how to smoke consciously. So, forget about quitting it, learn how to live life consciously, HERE and NOW :)
TERRIBLE ADVICE! Cigarettes are horribly addictive and most people who were once addicted, will never be able to "consciously" enjoy one or two cigs here and there. Bullshit my friend, please avoid this nonsense.
More power to you @kendama-odyssey props on quitting the tobacco. All I can do is offer the same advice I tell my mom - replace it with some more cannabis instead >_>
yeah dawggie! more cannabis no cigs
That's what I'm trying to do! :)
I got a vaporesso tarot mini a year ago and it has been holding up good for me. The kit comes with 2 coils, a tank and some replacement parts. I was never a big cigarette smoker, but it has definitely helped me curtail my marijuana intake. I just want to smoke something! Vapewild has the cheapest eliquid on the internet that I am aware of, I recommend the fruithoops, you might also want to check out Omvapors I got a years worth of liquid for about $35 from them on black Friday. You can get EUC coils cheap(only ones that work in the mini) at gearbest(they come from china so it takes awhile). Can always try your local vape shops too, those things are everywhere I look here in Tennessee. Cardio might help you clean your lungs out, however it could make you feel immediately worse right after. Good luck! Keep up good the fight!
Yoooo dope! These are dank tips. I am always unure which products to go toward but I def want to get a vape. I had one in the past but haven't done it for a while. Appreciate it!
Cardio is def the next step! Hoping to be running daily miles in the future here soon.
vape is just as bad as cigarettes.
the reason for quitting smoking is when your condition is like this. when conditions like this you still ask how I want to pray that your illness is more severe for you to understand the reasons for quitting smoking. but I will not do that, I'd rather you heal even if you do not quit smoking.
8 years ago I told my friend that I will stop smoking for 2 months. my intention was so strong that I made it after that I just smoked for a month and kept it away for 6 months. I'm sure the right way to quit smoking because we do not want to smoke.
stop before cigarettes kill you
Yes there are better thing to find for us than cigs
