Quitting

[u/rosexkitty]

I have been smoking for the past 12 years. I have flopped between cigarettes and vapes, sometimes both at the same time. It has definitely taken a toll on my lung health (wheezing). I haven’t vaped in almost 3 years. But I still smoke cigs. I stopped back in 2024 for 9 months (became pregnant). I started back up last June or July when I became a single mom.

I need to quit for my son, I don’t want to suffer severe consequences. I want to be able to keep up with my son.

I know I can do it. It’s just hard. I haven’t had a cigarette in 24 hours, however I did pick up some Zyns. I know I know, it’s not good to replace one habit with another. But mentally - I can’t just stop nicotine cold turkey. When I quit when I was pregnant I struggled for MONTHS with my emotions, sleeplessness. I want to wean myself down. I wanted to start with getting over the “hand to mouth” motion first. That was a big thing for me the first time around. Second is weaning down the nicotine levels.

I picked up a 6mg can and I seem to be feeling okay with that. Not really hankering for a cig. Just missing something to do with my hands.

Any advice is welcome. just please don’t scold me for picking up another habit while trying to quit another
