This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Where can I get ranch flavored cig filters?

More importantly, are these ranch or cool ranch?

I quit cigarettes 5 years ago buy buying a refillable vape and juice all the same flavor I enjoy from the highest nic strength to zero and I tapered to 0mg over the course of two months then tossed it out, haven't had any nicotine since. It really helped me, I tried quitting so many other ways and they all failed. Good luck!

This is how I quit too but I started at 6mg nicotine. A lot of people start at 18mg or so but I think that that's too much, at least for me. I was nearly having heart palpitations taking hits off of a friend's vape, lol.

This was how I quit. I just tapered until zero and then gave it up. I even made my own juice so I could control the nicotine levels whenever I wanted. Best decision I ever made for my health.

It's crazy how much easier it made it for me, but you still really have to want to quit.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

It's hard and will be, however the longer your clean the longer the intervals between cravings.

I still get them every now and then, but they can be more than a week in between now.

If you really want to quit, I used Chantix and it took away the wanting a smoke really well, finally was able to stop completely. Still can't breath for shit 4 years later :(

*side effects may include suicidal thoughts or actions, death, nausea, vomiting, swelling of the face and hands, black tarry stool, hallucinations, worsening mood, anxiety, and hostility

Talk to your doctor if you think Chantix is right for you!

I did have the lucid dreams, which as a person who never remembers dreams, was very unsettling. But no other side effects.

Despite how it may feel right now, you can do it! And when you do, you’ll be so proud of yourself. You got this!
