Wish I never smoked, but over 4 years since my last and no cravings. Always was afraid that cravings would never go away, that hungry anxiety was awful, even if it was dull after a time

Terrible addiction that isn’t worth it

Little over four years smokeless for me too, after 20 years of smoking. High five for the quitter crew!

Sadly I still get cravings almost weekly.

I did get them the first time I tried quitting, which lasted 1 or two years before I started up again

I don’t think I’ll ever smoke again this time though. Combination of reasons, I have kids now, who I don’t want affected by it. I ve really gotten into cardio since then, and I’m starkly aware of how it affects your lungs. Also this second time I quit I had a minor health scare where my mouth started sloughing a bit. Wasn’t just the smoking causing that, I also was drinking some very acidic juice and was reacting badly to a toothpaste ingredient, but it did help me to quit
