Get rid of them so that the temptation doesn't pull you in.

except for some folks panic sets in if that security blanket is gone. I actually bought my normal 2 cartons the same time I bought my first cig-a-like kit. I never smoked any of them but knew they were there if I found I needed them.
Understandable but for me, I didn't want to need them. The temptation was too strong with them being right there where I knew I could very easily fall back on them. By the time I bought my first kit, there was not a cigarette in sight.
And conga-rats to you as well!
Keep at it, it WILL get easier. And maybe keep a topper full of higher than your usual nic on hand as well, for the tough times.
Wellof course everyone is different. The first time I quit I couldn't keep cigs around. The second time I kept some. I would panic if I didn't know they were in the house. the last time - and it is the last thanks to vaping - I went straight from my last cig to vaping and never looked back.Understandable but for me, I didn't want to need them.

Congrats to both of you. I'm so happy for you. Isn't it wonderful to be able to smell again, to take a walk without getting short of breath?
Hooray for you. It will get better.
And as someone else here said if it's too tough have your shop add a little more nic. Not everyone decreases their nic the same way. It takes time for some people and others breeze through it. Me, I went down by 2mg until I hit 10, and now going down by 1mg every 6 weeks. MY B&M advised meto dothat because they said most of their customers find it hard to go down more once they hit the single digits. Certainly true for me.
I started suffering from dyshidrosis (a type of eczema) on the palms of my hands about a year after I took up smoking as a teen. You basically get these tiny painful itchy clear bubbles on your hands, which then dry out and the skin peels and cracks. It was pretty miserable. I tried all sorts of treatments over the years with almost no relief. Even the docs I saw never made a connection between this condition and smoking, but after about 3-4 months of vaping the condition had improved dramatically and has now 99.9% disappeared (I literally may get 2-3 bubbles on one hand every 6 months or so), after 5 years smoke free. For me this has been perhaps the best side effect of switching to vaping.
Yeah l think you're right, this weekend hrowing them away...
Thank-you- today was a big stress day, funny how stress comes along just when you're trying to be Zen. I am tempted to use my higher 18 mg just to get me through tonight.I started suffering from dyshidrosis (a type of eczema) on the palms of my hands about a year after I took up smoking as a teen.

If you need to, do it, better that than grabbing a cig.
I had forgotten about those white bubbles on my hands when I smoked. I don't think mine were as bad as yours though. Mine never cracked or bled. You are right though. They went away when I started vaping. Makes you wonder what they put in cigarettes to cause those? FSC's??I started suffering from dyshidrosis (a type of eczema) on the palms of my hands about a year after I took up smoking as a teen.

Hey there. I made the switch around a year ago, so yeah, I'm still considered new, I guess
I was a heavy smoker, 3 packs a day, 20+ years. When making the switch, I got hit by the withdrawal symptoms quite hard. I got a post about that somewhere in this forum.
Well, what I did was I stocked up on those Vitamin C water. Whenever I feel the symptoms, I gulped down a bottle (500ml, 1000mg of Vit C). On the worst day, I drank 6 bottles a day. It really helped a lot. With the Vit C water, the symptoms only lasted 3-4 days, then it got better from that point on.
I tried sports drinks (mineral rich), but they are just not quite as good as Vit C.
