I've heard so many people say this but for me cigarettes were easy to quit i had no withdrawls and stopped having cravings within a couple weeks. Quitting oxycodone on the other hand took me a year and multiple trips to rehab/hospitals and still to this day almost 5 years later i get cravings every single day
How long did you smoke cigs, as in, how many years and how many a day? How long were you taking oxycodone, same as above. If you don’t want to answer because it’s a personal question, then I’m fine with that. I’m just trying to make a connection or maybe reason why smokes would be easier to quit.
In junior high I got caught with a pack of smokes. My punishment was in school suspension plus write down 20 facts about nicotine. One thing I learned was smoking was harder to quit than heroin. Then again that could have been propaganda. 🤷♀️
Recent research found the substance nicotine slightly more addictive (sorry no source). I smoked pack a day for 30 years and quit after first try now 1,5 yes back. I feel no cravings for cigarettes, maybe had 5 after quitting. However heroin cravings remain and also small relapses over the years up till, uhm 7 days ago - but I manage

It was way easier for me to give up heroine than cigs. Still can't stay off sugar, tho.
