Advice from a 41 year old man

[johnvee]

Don't start smoking.

Most who start smoking have the mindset of they can quit anytime they want, smoking to me is like an old friend who has always been there for me since I started, and that is a bad way to regard it, smoking will probably kill me, I don't think I could quit if my life depended on it, smoking is probably the single worst decision I have made.

Yeah there are upsides but they don't outweigh the downsides, like appetite suppression, my uncle who has smoked for almost 40 years has cancer in his kidney, this could be the start of a downward spiral for him, I have known seniors who will have a health scare and recover and only last a few more months before dying, kinda sucks for him because he just started his old age pension last year.

I have recommended it to you before a long time ago
I dont think you really into it but have you tried nicotine patches? stuff helps me quit so much for me its eazy mode compared to other stop smoking methods

Sure i might smoke a little while on the patch.

I dont even need that mutch patch. its really op. I cut them into small pieces as needed although it says not to.

I want to quit but I love smoking, its like someone really overweight, everyone wants to be "skinny" but they love eating more than they love trying to be skinny.

Before I quit last time i quit for a year or three a few times using patches. then I had a stroke. I dont think i will go back to smoking again. I physically cant really smoke anymore and feel like its the fast track to another stroke. I dont like strokes more than i like smoking 100%
