Nicotine - 'Premier League' of addictions
I got me thinking about how
nicotine
addiction
compares to others and wanted to share mine. I wont go into details, but over the years I have dealt with a number of other addictions of 'harder' substances. For me personally, quitting nicotine has been the hardest by a mile.

Vaping
I'm new here just today ,I took ulcerative colitis in 1991 within 3 months of stoping smoking ,it just kept getting worse and worse no matter what I did or didn't do . Trying to live life was a nightmare even phyichologicaly the fear of going out (although) I did ) people didn't understand that fear

Sense of loss
It was only for a few moments before I started thinking normally again, but it just goes to illustrate just how powerful
nicotine
addiction
is that its sudden absence can have that kind of effect - I literally conflated giving up smoking with loss and grief! Anyway, 4 day mark; still winning.

Week5/Run3 - 20 mins
I don't know why but I'm feeling rather deflated after having completed this run. I thought I'd be over the moon like I was when I did the 8 mins run (twice). It maybe due to lack of sleep and stopping the nicotine patches today. Looking forward to a day off and starting Week 6 on Sunday. Hope everybody

Nicotine & benefits in gastrointestinal tract
Hi all, I was first diagnosed with ulcerative colitis in 2007 & this was later changed to a diagnosis of Crohn's in more recent times. I am also now going through the process of diagnosis of what is believed to be GPA\Wegeners. I also have 2 discs that are degenerating so we have 3 chronic diseases

I fight cravings in certain ways that suit me, one of those ways is to come on here or look for hints and tips or go on other sites. one said site is obviously a firm believer that CT is the only true way to beat our

Relapse
After 25 years of smoking I realise that smoking is purely
nicotine
addiction
, a poison that does not belong in the human body. Life is much better without nicotine. I am yet again on day 3 of withdrawal and I hope to never go back to smoking.

WHY STOP SMOKING?
However,
nicotine
is a drug of
addiction
and many people find giving up a struggle. Help is available: GPs, practice nurses or pharmacists can provide information, encouragement, and tips on stopping smoking.

Am so weak :(
I suspect the habit is what is hard to break as it cant be the
nicotine
addiction
because I have a patch on. I am so annoyed with myself. I refuse to let this habit beat me!! I want to be fit and healthy and this habit goes against everything about me.

What makes you want to bang your head against a wall?
I know
Nicotine
Addiction
is a real illness and it must be so difficult…but if you aren't even trying, then I just hope you realise how lucky you are to have the choice to throw your lungs away.

COPD Going Backwards ?
I was diagnosed with COPD around 2012. The diagnosis was moderate, but I think that perhaps it was at the bad end of moderate. I had at least one flare up due to a chest infection which saw me hospitalized for a short period. I was in a right state before going into Hospital. The infection saw me waking

Smoking and thyroid - Thyroid and smoking.
Changes in cognition are a major symptom of
nicotine
addiction
. Current anti-smoking therapies have modest success at best.
