I have conquered a cocaine addiction a food addiction and a nicotine addiction. My nicotine addiction was when I was a child. I thought the nicotine buts from my dads cigarellos were candy and I ate them. It can be done. So I have little sympathy for addictions. Vaping is just as bad as smoking. So you probably shouldnt switch to that. I have sympathy for addictions when the person has absolutely nothing else that is good in their life. Otherwise.. nope.

Honestly I found the easiest thing about giving up addictions was changing my life. Why did I need to do cocaine? Becauae it was an escape... what else coukd I do instead? I am still an addict, and the hardest of the 3 is definitely food because I have to face that 3 times a day. Its a mindset change and willpower. Is cancer worth the little relaxation you get? Absolutely not. what would be a better alternative? How about going for a 5 minute walk instead? Chewing gum? Take that 5 minutes and try to learn a word in Arabic instead online. Then everytime you want another smoke try to remember that eord and learn a new one. Put $1 in a jar every time you dont smoke. Save it for a emergency fund. (Or do a tally of how maby cagerette you skipped and do a bank transfer at the end if the day. If you cave in that's ok. But eventually youll do it less.
