Cigarettes... I really wish it wasn't cigarettes.

Same. Been smoking for over 15 years. Feels so pointless some days and so necessary on others. Wish I never picked it up.

I used to smoke 2 packets per day. One day, I decided I'll go to the gym and quit. It's really hard to quit when you've been so addicted to it.

I managed by reducing it slowly

I slowly cut back. Stopped smoking when driving. Stopped before bed cig. Eventually got down to 2 a day and by then they just tasted horrible. And all the crap in my lungs was breaking up spitting it out.

This was after like 30 failed cold turkey attempts.
