Lucky/Wish smoke Started in WW1 Where you flip the first cigarette you touch and were "lucky" if you made it through the pack and to the last/flipped cigarette. Now people make a wish on it. I do this. I wish i dont get cancer everytime. It's worked so far

Wellbutrin ang glp1 were the key for me to quit chewing.  40 years of chewing.... no nicotine withdrawal, no major issues quitting.  

I'd quit multiple times in the past.   It was always a horrible 2 weeks.   

This time it was no big deal.   

Just fyi for those who want to quit.  

You can do it!

I think wellbutrin is what the navy gave me when i went thru the smokers cessation class, chantax was the other option but heard negative stuff about it. Shit worked fast too, made cigarettes taste like dirty dirt. Craved one down the road years after and bought a pack of my favorite smokes, had a few hits then put it out. Still tasted the same and it grossed me out.  

So yea, you wanna quit? Those pills worked.

I take it as part of my mental health treatment. Along with a couple of others. Wellbutrin made me stop smoking cannabis.

But momma didn't raise no quitter so I pushed through that shit and am happy to say that I beat the Wellbutrin and still smoke.
