    Hi everyone,

    Gave up smoking, well gave up smoking nicotine and tobacco cigarettes about 7 days ago. I'm wondering has anybody else quit successfully with these. I tried once before cold turkey and lasted about 5 days but i don't feel as bad this time. I don't think about smoking as much because if i'm bad, the herbal ciggy seems to help even though they are nicotine and tobacco free. I still actually get to enjoy the act of smoking without the addictive chemicals and i have cut down compared to my normal smoking. Would only have 10 a day now compared to 30 normal cigarettes.

    The only bad experiences i had was that i was extremely tired the first 3 days without nicotine and i felt i could sleep all the time. My brain also seemed slower but it's all starting to go away now and feel that i have more energy than i used too.

    I'm wondering has anybody successfully given up this way because i feel quite positive about how i am doing? Looking forward to hearing your experiences :)

    Herbal? Cigarettes only?
    I just stopped cold turkey 2 but still have a big pack of rolies and cannot throw it away.

    I stopped smoking a bit over a year ago, and I walked around with a half a packet of baccy in my bag for about 10 days, I found it weirdly comforting.
    I had another big unopened pouch in my house, and I didn't know what to do with it - should I give it to someone, or throw it away? I threw it away because smoking is scummy, and why give the gift of smoking to anyone?
    It felt great to throw everything away - all lighters, skins etc. - when I was ready.

    Hiya,

    I wasn't sure where to post this (smoking or quitting) so if it's inappropriate feel free to move it.

    Can you buy herbal rolling tobacco? I know you can get herbal cigarettes but can you roll your own?

    Thanks!

    Edit: found a post suggesting Holland and Barrett and they have it. (in case anyone else is looking)
