Hi guys !! So I’m VERY new and just signed up.. I’ve been smoking for a few years now.. and want to quit! I know I must sound silly but I’m so afraid to quit and gain weight (stupidity) I know! Any hints or tips to beat the fear and go for it. 😊

Red is right. When smoking is something you don’t want anymore you will not smoke again. But if you quit and cigs is something you can’t have then your quit may not succeed.

Hi and welcome to a great quit site. Your fears are not stupid, in fact it is the fear of a lot people. Red is right on with his advice. Read his posts and others who have been successful. I had minimal cravings, and have posted extensively on the mindset in hopes it will help others like yourself. I also just posted advice for another newcomer thinking of quitting smoking that you may consider. It was called HERE WE GO... just posted. The right mindset is key for an easy quit.

Ginger curbs appetite as well as cravings. Ceylon Cinnamon increases metabolism. (do not exceed more than 2 tsp/day of regular cinnamon as it is toxic in high levels whereas Ceylon is not) Eat good whole foods, fruits , veggies and cut out the sugars and packaged/processed foods with additives. I lost weight if that is of consolation and i love food. Apples and cinnamon for snack, cinnamon on squash or sweet potato, oatmeal. Ginger and Turmeric in chicken soup or just broth as a drink.(both in curry powder if you like curry) Or do my lung cleanse which not only cleans out the tar from your lungs, but is also has a long list of medical benefits for your overall health. Everything in moderation of course!

Good luck with your quit. You have come to the right place! You can do it!
