After 50 years of tobacco and 40 of the exotic herb I'm finally stopping the lot today.
I got a vape, which is a big help. Don't know what if any problems that can cause but never mind for now - I plan to move on to zero nicotine but the guy in the vape shop says stay on it for at least a month.
It's early (for me) and I have quite a few hours to go to get through the first day. I think some sweets will help and I may buy some nice booze so I can have a sip of that. I don't normally drink but if it helps I will.
I honestly feel OK about it. But I was suffering with my breathing and heart rate so no matter if I would really like to smoke I know I am at the stage where it could mean early death if I continue. So no tobacco ever again is a certainty because it has to be. As for the other I will put whatever I have to one side for now and probably will never touch it. I am 'allowed' it but smoking burning vegetation isnt good for me so it would have to be used in another way, which doesn't appeal to me anyway, other than perhaps brewed as tea.
I think I may buy a bike as I could do with more exercise and getting out of the house but for now I'm doing press-ups when I get up and tidying the back yard. Having cut down smoking over the last week or two I can't believe the difference it has made to my ability to work for a length of time without getting breathless. I do not want to go back to feeling exhausted after 10 minutes mild lifting so bearing that in mind should be enough to keep me on track.
