I'm at a point in my life where many of my peers will say that they intend to quit someday, but just not yet. Besides the most obvious reasons for giving up nicotine and tobacco, here are some of the short-term benefits I've found since my hiatus. - Exercising self-control - better lung capacity - getting rid of the smell that sticks to your clothes - no nic-shits - less nausea - better appetite - far less frequent cravings In short, you don't have to give up going outdoors to chat with your smoking friends, but you can find autonomy in choosing your battles wisely—Or not, its really up to you.

So not long time ago i wrote about the fact that i wanna quit smoking, it's been kind of hard however i managed to reduce how many cigs i smoke per day with some simple steps (reducing is better than nothing, a 1% progress is better than 0%) : 1 - No morning Cigarette. 2 - No indoors smoking - only in the balcony even if it's So cold outside. 3 - No more after shower cigarette, i rather do my skin care + put on some lotion in order to smell good, because once i smell good i REFUSE to get dirty with the cig smell. 4 - No more smoking while walking (for example when i am going to work, or on my way to a coffeeshop) . 5 - When in the coffeeshop i used to smoke 4 cigs per hour, i reduced that to 3. 6 - Reduce my smoke breaks at work. 7 - i apply hand cream to be able to keep my hands clean and avoid to get them smelly with the smoke cigs when i have the little craving, that i way i can "postpone" the smoke break for after. 8 - if the pack is finished during the day then i avoid to buy one until the next day. 9 - i avoid smoking cigs in the car (no matter how long the road). 10 - Buying one pack for two days instead of one. I hope with these small steps i will be able to reduce it to the point where i will quit smoking forever ^^

Life hack: once you quit smoking cigarettes you can still hang out with your friends while they smoke, and catch a whiff every now and again
