Quitting Smoking

[Blackbird26]

Well my love affair with cigarettes has come to an end. I want to quit. No I am quitting. I'm on my last pack now. This may sound stupid but..since smoking affects dopamine and quitting smoking will affect that..what will the effect be on my t? I mean everything affects my t. Sugar. Salt. Anyways..I am quitting. I hope the effects are only positive.

bro, if anything, your tinnitus should decrease in volum after you quit smoking...

If you mean it then throw out that last pack before you finish it.

Keep us posted, Curious to see if it helps. I started smoking after tinnitus onset, helps me cope with the constant stress from the ringing. I have never needed a crutch in my life but things have changed since tinnitus came around to torment me.

try switching to vaporizers, i did and they work great. They feel the same, they give you a throat hit and you blow vapor out which looks like smoke. No one has died from vaping and its a lot cheaper.

I wouldn't mind trying this but isn't it full of chemicals just like cigs? Is it even proven to be a healthier alternative?

there is a few chemicals, nicotine which is proven to not cause cancer but does increase your heart rate and blood pressure like caffeine. There is also i think 2 other chemicals that they don't really know what the effects are. Its an actual fact that e cigs are at least %99 less harmful than regular cigs, its just they're unsure about that %1

Since i switched to vaping about a year ago I have noticed huge health improvements from no more chest pains, i can breathe a lot better, when i do material arts training i don't choke for hours like i used to + so much more

When I went to my ENT about my T,he said to avoid smoking. Also, he said something about smoke being bad for the eustechian tubes.

I smoke ecigs and I use 100% natural VG (Vegetable Glycerine) stay away from PG if you can if you decide to vape. Also try not to chain vape if you switch. My T doesn't seem to spike from it.

I have heard reports that quitting can make T louder and more intrusive. Yikes!

 

[Zora]

I got T, and the same day I stopped. i am very happy that I stopped. i believe it worsenes your T. Stop right away! No more cigs!

I haven't heard, that but that is precisely what I was going to suggest because it stands to reason.
However, I do think that the long-term effects will be worth it.(my uncle died of lung cancer)

Smokers breath isn't very appealing. It's like "kissing a ashtray"

You would be talking about me...................

Did your T ever go down after you quit?

 

[STi]

Vaporizing is also bad....Google it.

Not even a little bit.

@Mike L I'm looking to quit and change to vaping. Any suggestions on which liquids are safer?
