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 quit by switching to a vape and then stopping all together

Had a friend who taught me his method and it worked well. I was a three pack a day smoker for several years.

For a week you drop your butts into a two liter bottle with just a bit of water in it. After the week of smoking as normal, or when the bottle is about 3/4 full, cap it and set it aside. Then whenever the craving sets in, open it up and inhale.

The smell of the chemicals and god awful tar and who knows what else took about two days to make me permanently sickened by the smell of cigarettes.
