Usually I've failed in that, but darn me, if I even can't be without sigs for just few days.
I didn't smoke for 10 hours in row and already then I felt a lot healthier.

And I need to learn to not smoke while drinking beer, as drinking beer calls out the smoking habits too.
I'd save 180€ a month, if I'd quit, so that's also a good reason to quit.
And my health would get a big boost too and the food would taste good.
So there's plenty of advances to gain.

Go!

Well done Heikkie! great that you're feeling healthier because of it, really great news! YOU CAN DO IT!!

180 Euros is a decent synth module per month is how I'd look at that Hope you can do it.

It's hard to give up a habit of a life time, it's normally after you have children, you stop. That's why I haven't, I wish you well on your journey to pack it in. I think I enjoy it too much to stop. Bro.

Well yeah, I ended up smoking again, but I'm gonna do another round without smoking. I think I can do it at some point and quit.
I feel like my free will needs some practicing before I can refuse smoking tobacco. I feel like I'm a slave of a determinism. Like Ivan said, it is a lifetime habit so it's not as easy as it looks. But hell, I want to quit and turn a new page in my life. And yeah @ $Bill, 180€ in every month is a big amount of money, I could buy myself all kinds of stuff.

And Alisha, thanks for believing in me, - well I'm gonna give a new shot at it, haha..

You could set yourself a date to give up, and get all your shit together , but you have to really want to pack them in buddy, it comes from you, but I admire the thought, I've set to give up in 5 years, yes I know that might sound a bit mad. But I have alot going on and I enjoy my smoke

Haha, yeah, well having a smoke can sometimes be a spot on thing to do. The money I'd save makes it tempting to quit though.
I have a plan that I mostly quit, but when it's a birthday, a new year's eve etc, I might have a cigar.

The money side is tempting, I would save 44euro a week bud
How are you getting on with that Hekki?

My quit smoking advice,,,,as a former smoker,,,, Smoking is often used as a reward. At least it was for me. Finish a task, go outside for a smoke. Discover some new process or method, go outside for a smoke. It was all about the reward. It took three things for me to quit,

I made a promice to my kids.
I relaized it was a reward mechanism. I replaced it with something else.
I got over the nicotine withdrawals by chewoing on popcicle sticks. That took abotu a month.

Not saying this will for for you but it did work for me.

Yeah, it is true that lots of us see it as rewarding yourself. It's like a pitstop you want to do. I might be able to quit at some point, but it requires a lifestyle change.

Not really a lifestyle change. I'm still the same asshole I was before I quit. Finding another reward does not necessarily change your life. If you look at it as a lifestyle issue then you are just making excuses. I found that I really hated tobacco smoke. You will definitely smell better.
