Hi All, just want to say hi and that I have decided to quit smoking as I am 56, have been diagnosed with high blood pressure and that it's simply getting too expensive to smoke. I'm quitting gradually as I don't have the will-power to go cold turkey. I would love to get feedback from anyone else that quit by giving up gradually and succeeded. Thanks
Quitting gradually almost never works, because that's not how nicotine works. You're addicted to nicotine, and the receptors for it in your brain will scream bloody murder every time you try to cut down, keeping you in perpetual withdrawal. Cold turkey does not take will power. It only takes not smoking. The physical withdrawal is hard, but it is absolutely doable!
