I have lung disease and have smoke on and off for many years... I am 40 next year and I am feeling the effects on my lung health... I am an avid outdoorsman and would like to still be able to breath for hikes in the great outdoors! I have no choice but to stop. Thanks for all your support!

7 days knowing I feel better not puffing toxic chemicals and off the vape too because I know it is a blessing to be able to breathe in clean air. Praise God.

Hi everyone. I woke up this morning and finally put the patch on. I have the willingness to not smoke today ! I am a 5-year cancer survivor and the guilt of smoking is a heavy burden on me. I have smoked since I was 14 - I will be 40 this December and I am so done. I want more energy, I literally hate everything about smoking but it's very hard to just up and stop. I'm going on this journey of not smoking just one day at a time... So far so good :-)

I'm 55 years old,quit 4 years and 3 months ago but still chewing nicorette gum....alot.Have also started drinking 2 glasses of red wine every night since Covid.I rarely drank when i was a smoker...feel as though I've switched one crutch for another....ugh

I quit cold turkey, I get no more cravings and been keeping busy,doing amazing one week down ❤️🥳

Hey guys, so today is 2 years since I quit smoking. It's such an encredible gift that any smoker can do for themselves is just quit smoking. I would say I'm in a much better place now since I stopped smoking. My life transformed quite a bit during this couple years. For anyone who just starts this journey I would say to not give up. It's totally worth it and it will make your life better in so many ways. I'm still looking forward to what I will get out of this endevour, but so far it was pretty good. Good luck everyone! I will post updates here from time to time.

The BC Lung Association, many years ago used to put out a kit (it was a mail out then) which had a questionnaire about your smoking habits. The questionnaire helped to identify which aspect of smoking you were most addicted to so that when quitting, you focused on that aspect as a priority rather than trying to address a half dozen aspects that were addictive about smoking. The questionnaire identified 5 different categories of smoking addiction. It was very accurate, it identified that I was addicted to the act, the handling, watching the smoke....lighting them, putting them out etc, which is exactly what I am addicted to and have always known this about myself. What I am wondering is (since I'm struggling with my quit after 10 yrs smoke free) is ...... has what I am addicted to changed, and this is why I am struggling so badly this time. Does anyone recall this kit or questionnaire?Thx.

I wanted to try free hypnosis witch lead me to this I see it's a nother scam from the Canadian government

I started smoking as a teenager but only at parties which I continued mostly throughout my twenties then started to manage anxiety in my thirties but still not smoking daily. Started smoking daily in my forties. I have just turned 70 and am smoking about 15 cigarettes a day which is more than I've ever smoked

Smoked for 60 years

I just finished over 24 hours without a smoke and after the app quit sure enlighten me about smoking being constantly on your mind.
Just the vape to stop but I hardly use it. So I feel reborn and I want to thank all of you here especially the coaches.

Please unregistere me from this most lame and cumbersome program!!! What a waste of tax dollars!!

The only things I truly have control over are my thoughts and my behaviour. By letting go of trying to control everything else, I have regained control of my freedom. ❤️

Bit of a pain in the butt to have to sign in with your e-mail and password every time you want to visit site. Am I doing something wrong? There should be a “remember me” option when logging in. Thoughts?

I hate that I smoke but God does quitting actively hurt my daily life. I get so irritated and frustrated so easily and I worry constantly. I genuinely feels like there's no escape
