So, I'm getting out of control,
ive been smoking since the young age of 12, believe it or not, and im 18 now and i figure i need to stop while im ahead, not only am i already a cardiac hypochondriac, but i also am an avid user of stimulants, which doesn't help.

i also get paranoid that smoking + any stimulant will throw me either into a seizure or a heart attack,
and, my addiction has gotten so far that i empty cigarettes and use it in my pipe, which i have to believe isnt good for anyone.

so, any advice? how should i go about quitting, what are good strategys for it,
and has anyone ever took to smoking cigarette bach out of a pipe?
thanks in advance

edit: move if needed, i dont know where this should be.
 
And why do you do that / why is that worse than smoking them normally?
 
its unfiltered and just gnarly on all counts, i can only assume that its worse
and i started doing it because i smoked cannabis with it in my pipe,
now i just smoke tobacco alone, because cannabis started all this hypochondria/panic attack nonsense.
 
You disassemble the cigarette and smoke it in a pipe? Kids these days i mean wow. Theres infinite information on quitting cigs all over the web. The old nicotine replacement taper worked for me but then i started smoking again by choice a year later.
 
yeah thanks for the condescension, but hearing personal experiences helps a lot more than googling.
atleast in my case

Sorry but i mean, dude thats ridiculous. Just get some nicorette or something and just give it a try, replace each time you would smoke with a piece... you can think about it all day but you gotta take action.
 
Dude you're still under a pack a day? I mean sure you've been smoking since age 12 and all so I'm sure your lungs are screwed and all, but I smoke a pack and a half a day unfiltered. I've been fiending stimulant cocktails for 3 days straight and chain smoking Lucky Strikes and my heart's still beating. Your problem isn't smoking, it's being paranoid... However, smoking cig tobacco from a pipe is the worst possible way to smoke if you're concerned about your heart... Either buy pipe tobacco (it's cheaper anyway) or you can always just start smoking lights or vented cigarettes to get less of a lung-punch, and thereby avoid sending your heart into overdrive as much. It's basically the same amount of nicotine regardless of how you smoke it, so you may as well smoke something that won't leave you paranoid about your heart.

I personally like the heart-racing though... Right now my heart is pounding hard enough to make my necklace jump of my chest every beat. I guess that's a matter of preference though...
 
nah man like i love smoking, it doesnt necessarily kick my anxieties into gear, its just making me paranoid, because i know i can only go downhill. right now, im smoking cheap viceroy lights, so i feel like i need to smoke in a pipe to get a decent enough rush from it.
i love strong smokes, but i just want to stop. maybe even gradually.
but i just wanna know what would help making going cold turkey a little easier.

my grandpa fought lung cancer and won, i just dont wanna have to be in that fight
 
Ecig has worked wonders for me and I have tapered my nicotine level down to nothing. Pick a reputable supplier. Pm me if ya want...
 
I know where you are at, man. I would highly suggest ditching those viceroys (what i smoke too, when I do. I have also smoked them in my weed pipe when I had barely a thing) and pick up smoking electronic cigarettes.
 
E-cigs did it for me man. I know a lot of people who quit that way.

I smoked for over 20 years. Never bought another pack after my ecig arrived. The pack I had lasted me three days, and I was usually good for 1.5 to 2 packs a day. Just be careful where you get it. A lot of places way over charge for crap products. Do some research to find a legit supplier. The mall kiosks in the states wanted about 3 times what I ended up paying online and offered no customer service.
 
^ Loool.


Just do e-cigs, they give you a decent kick on amphetamines. The only problem with e-cigs on stimulants is the tendency to suck on them non-stop without having the end of a tobacco cigarette to force you to stop. I still smoke tobacco twice daily but my e-cigs come with flavor cartridges, vanilla, chocolate, and my favorite, mint.

Another option is a patch. In terms of medication you have verinicline or bupropion.
 
Smoking lights is actually worse for your lungs because you suck harder on them to get the smoke . So I wouldn't recommend switching.
 
Eww first of all, buy tobacco for pipes instead of emptying tobacco from ciggs in a pipe, that's disgusting. Trust me, I had some weed which had a little tobacco from a cig mixed in, and it was the grossest thing
When I have the money, I personally like natural amaerican spirits. They taste much better and don't leave me feeling shitty afterwards.

Ecigs help, you cab buy one relatively cheap at Walmart which has rechargeable filters. It's called N-Joy
