Hi @maryanne1! I hope you are having a nice day!

Thank you for starting this discussion. Quitting smoking is an essential move for someone with COPD, therefore I hope you will be able to beat this addiction! I will tag some members, who might have something to say about this. :)

@zodiac @glenzamiskaa @gommer1 @dunecitymike @Gordon @Rosemary @cheysel @lawrenceSTL @Maynerd @kaderaahin @giggles @12elbert @Classycathy @COPDme @Tricket01 @Txgirl66

Hey everyone! How are you?

How has your journey with COPD been lately? Were you a smoker? Have you tried vaping? What helped you with quitting smoking?

Take care,

Polina from the Carenity team

@Polina.K I smoked for over 40 years and quit over 15 years ago, long before there was such a thing as Vaping. As long as one is attempting to quit smoking I guess vaping is the lesser of two evils. For anyone who currently does smoke, quitting all together is the best course. I have written about my personal saga several times regarding quitting smoking. The final battle was a collapsed lung after semi-annual severe bouts of bronchitis. Eight days in hospital with the I.V. morphine drip, anti-biotics and steroids helped to start my non-smoking life when released.

I don't think vaping is the way to quit smoking it may be harder on your lungs. I used little Nicolette tablets to get over the cravings they worked for me! I still carry them in my purse because it helps me get past the cravings that I still have at times just knowing I have some. Silly I know!

I remember when my cousin tried to quit smoking. She’d been at it for years and nothing seemed to stick. Then, she decided to give vaping a go. It actually made a difference for her. The thing is, she could control the nicotine level, which helped her cut down gradually. It wasn’t an overnight thing, but over a few months, she was vaping less and less.

Eventually, she moved to those zero nicotine options. Last I checked, she’s been smoke-free for over a year now. It was cool to see her make that change. For anyone thinking of trying it, https://nexussmoke.com/collections/elf-bar is where she got her stuff. They've got a bunch of different flavors, so it's easy to find something that doesn’t make you miss smoking as much.
