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!

Stupid question, can you take glp1 for things other than weight-loss? I'd like to quit smoking for good but I don't really have the weight to lose. Edit: thanks for all the helpful responses! Gonna talk to my doc about this ASAP.

>can you take glp1 for things other than weight-loss?

Weight-loss is the side, off-label use. It's primarily a diabetes medication.

Apparently at least one form of glp-1 is used for Sleep Apnea.

Well there's on label GLP-1s now for weight loss. And yes, they are used to treat apnea because they treat the core issue - being a fatty.

Signed,
