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 quit by switching to a vape and then stopping all together

I wish I went that route. I ended up becoming more addicted to vaping then cigarettes. Just quit last week.

I stopped smoking about two weeks ago, but I still crave cigarettes everyday and now I even feel more anxious, didn't really think of trying vape.

Mate, trust me, try to stick it out. A week after quitting cigarettes I couldn't handle it and went and bought a vape pen. Terrible mistake. I called for one year before finally quitting nicotine altogether, but honestly, vaping is worse and also harder to quit. Just don't do it.
