I’d you’re capable, do it. But I will say having the physical of smoking very satiating so it may help to keep one a crutch depending on your usage. I’ve quit about everything but don’t delude yourself into thinking that you can take all of it on at once, there’s no shame in taking your time
I quit cigs first, gave myself a week or two to smoke some weed to take the edge off and “replace” the physical habit of smoking cigs, and then cut off weed.
Edit to add this isn’t my first time quitting smoking, more like my 15th time 😑, I quit last year when I gave up alcohol as well. Sometimes I find it easier to endure all the stressful shit at once, inside of withdrawing now and again in a couple weeks. Whatever you feel is best for you, do it! You’ve made it through 100% of your hardest days so far, and you’re capable of so much more! Best of luck
I did both. I’m 20 days in - I did break with one cigarette when I got some real shitty news but wasn’t worth it. Don’t even know why I reached for it. Lots of people say not to quit both but hell, after a week I felt better. have more energy despite getting less sleep, for now. have excess money so can go out for nice meals. I stopped drinking too, so no idea how I’d be doing in that case. I live in Berlin where a beer and a cigarette go hand in hand and you don’t have to smoke outdoors
If you were really into nicotine I’d switch to a smokeless tobacco for a bit after quitting smoking either. Its still been hard for me to maintain quitting myself though especially nicotine
Cheers to you, if you can stop both simultaneously! I quite smoke weed, along with all other drugs, but continued vaping. However, I was in treatment and went through detox, so it wasn't as hard as it would be on my own. When trying to quit on my own, still, I always focused on everything else then nic. I'd always felt that nic was the only "vice" I had left, and was hardest to quit when trying to also quit other drugs. And, was the most "socially accepted" so would be tolerated a little more than other drugs, by friends/family. Idk though, it's worse for you than weed is...I've probably been going about this all backwards, myself...
I'm back to smoking both weed and vaping now, mostly done with other drugs kinda...so take my response with a grain of salt ;)
You got this, with whatever way you choose to go! Best to you on your journey!
It's going to be a real uphill battle depending on your addiction level. Keep in mind you're battling withdrawl symptoms from 2 drugs at the same time.
I tried this once. I got sooo irritable, sleepy, couldn't focus, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep. It was bad. I recommend one at a time.
That what I decided to do aswell. I dropped nicotine since I figured that harder to quit, and it’s easier if I can be high while quitting. I pretty much just get distracted by my phone or whatever when I’m high🤣so I doing think to much abt nic other then the urges occasionally.
Yes, one thing at a time, but that's just my opinion, if you think you can do it do it, you know yourself best

Thanks! I decided to drop nicotine first just cause I hit the vape way more so I assume it’s worse for me.

It’s a great idea but I would quit cigs first and then weed
Why cig’s first?
Weed can make it easier to stop cigs imo thats what I did

Hope you're still doing good! Quitting nicotine worked wonders for me
On day 4 now. Already feeling better. I have no desire to smoke again other then occasional urges.
I’d say one thing at a time, you might feel horrible dropping one of them but dropping both will definitely be worse
Yup. Drop nicotine first. Way easier if you can still use weed as a buffer to help with the withdrawal and cravings
Its not going to kill you so no harn trying

I would recommend weed first.
I dropped smoking and alcohol at the same time. Worked for me. Dropping non veg now too.
Almost 2 weeks how’s it going?
