I'm sure there's more.
For years I was in that position of knowing I should stop smoking but not wanting to.I see what you are saying, and yes, I know I am not actually giving up rather than swapping. But, I am doing this more because I know I should than because I actually WANT to, so I don't have the motivation of willpower. I still want my fixes, just swapping for a different alternative. Also on another note, I have been neglecting the diabetes for a few months due to looking after my mother/acting out against it. I had no control over my life, as I was 24/7 on call, so I really resented not even being able to eat what I wanted and rebelled, especially as with caring for her, I couldn't find the time to work out the eating /insulin stuff, prepare proper meals etc and couldn't afford a hypo on top of that. She only passed away in July, and I also have all the legal and emotional **** from that too. So now is not really a good time for me to actually give up altogether, I am just trying to take baby steps to get my life back on track bit by bit and make minor improvements. And this is day 3 without a real smoky fag
I enjoyed my fifty rollups a day ... oh boy did I enjoy them.
People wouldn't smoke if it was horrible.
It's not an easy position to be in is it.
Best of luck with the digitized stuff ... it has to be healthier without all that tar and who knows one day .... one day you might actually want to stop ... and that's really the only time you will.
Don't even attempt it for anyone else ... has to be for you.
I dread to think what state I would be in if I hadn't stopped when I did.
