Why Quitting Nicotine Feels Impossible *NOT EASY*

Carr’s books work and have helped millions. I don’t think just because Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan think nicotine is beneficial means his book doesn’t work lol

There were two things that motivated me to quit….its called aggressive adenocarcinoma and having the right upper lobe of my lung removed. My surgery was done on January 24th and my PET scan identified no additional instances. Although this life altering event made quitting a heck of a lot easier I still have to deal with the forever effects of smoking. This channel helps with the insidious thoughts that still make me think I am missing something. I truly pray for everyone trying to quit. Please use every tool and resource Dr. Frank offers and I wish you all success.

Dr frank I love your videos! One thing I will say is, on the topic of nicotine harm reduction, patches are the best way to go. Far from perfect, but as somebody who’s struggled with every form of nicotine you can think of, the patches are the safest. Hands down. I’m going to try to quit the patches tomorrow after some stressful exams, fingers crossed 🤞 keep up the great videos! 🙌 💯

About 15 yrs ago I read Allen Carrs book and I did just stop. I started back after a years long custody dispute then switched to vaping for harm reduction. I tried to quit that cold turkey after 2 weeks I felt like I wanted to die. Now I am struggling. Largely, I think because I have PTSD and the stress of quitting just puts me over the edge. I know the long term benefits will be awesome but I cant push past the short term misery.

I agree with not putting more nicotine, yes your video's help very much but is your product available in Canada on shelves?

Excellent video, thank you very much. I'm using velo nicotine pouches atm. There is something about nicotine I like. That's it, "something"

How do you go about quitting narcotics if you don't care about how much it's destroying your life? Where does motivation come from to change, rather than just sink deeper into the hole until the inevitable happens?

I never vaped but I did smoke cigarettes

Your not relaxed from smoking , your filling a void from the previous cigarette. Non smokers dont need to relax 20 times a day. Is it good for your mental health to relax 20 times a day ?

9 days in! Starting to feel normal.. not 100% but pretty darn good! Thanks so much for your videos. Crazy how much vaping makes you tired, lethargic.

Honestly the book worked for me to stop smoking cigarettes... Allen Carr is dead since 2006 and i read the old version. I bought the new one recently for a friend and i was astonished by a lot of things. Obviously it's not from Allen Carr. So i don't know what to think about this book. Now, i'am going to watch the video but i wanted to give my experience with the Allen Carr's method who i feel i owe some recognition.

9 days vape and nicotine free. Been doing it 10 years and hating it. Thanks for all your videos they’re what helped push me to do it. EDIT: Checking back in… 43 days vape and nicotine free guys. You can do it! 💪

I just hit 50 days vape free. I am using the nicotine patch purely because I started smoking at 9 years old I'm 32 now so growing up nicotine was always in me and I was a super chronic chain smoker/vaper. This is still the hardest thing I've ever had to do and I'm still not sure if I'm out of the woods yet because I still fantasize and glorify vaping I convince myself I miss it but I'm trying to stay the course. I start the final step of the patches in 4 days from now so hope that helps

It literally was that easy for me I'm not even kidding you guys. Even though I only smoked for two years but still I've quit so many times. Don't let all these videos scare you people come on just quit

Not sure about the vaping version but the quit smoking helped me and I haven't looked backed or even felt a craving because of the help received in that book

Nearly 20 hours smoke free and feel healthier already

I thought I was the only person that Allen Carr did not work for. I tried the books and online seminar, and nothing ☹️

I’ve tried to quit vaping many times within the last 7 years. What made it effortless for me was having my vape die while on a trip out of the country. I was jet lagged for about a week upon my return and was way too tired/lazy to drive out to get a new one. I think the disruption in my daily routine (i.e. not using vape while driving to work, paired with morning caffeine, etc) made it effortless for my body to just forget about it entirely. Running on 4 months now and it’s amazing because I didn’t even try to quit, just still too lazy to get a new one.

I tried quitting before, but I am SOON. No more excuses. I want the extra money and the health. Even if there are benefits of nicotine, you can also get those benefits from eating healthy meats and healthy veggies. Without any side affects like deathotine. Honestly? I wish I could smoke my American Spirit tobacco occasionally. But I can't. So, coming soon, I am done! I have NO choice. Doing it for my family, my new upcoming car, and my new puppy I am getting this April.

i’m like 4 days in and i’m feeling a loss of appetite anxious very emotional for no reason and sometimes nauseous

The book is amazing and is so much better than the willpower method :)

It was easy until you said that 🤦‍♀️😂

I’ve listened to the book 8 times hoping it hypnotizes me. It never worked. lol.

Nicotine started becoming more of a nuisance than a benefit. I definitely have more energy and consistently get better quality sleep while off nicotine than when I was abusing it.

Would not have been able to quit nicotine and marijuana without this channel! Might not have even been made aware of my addiction. Thank you Dr. Frank!

It's important to recognize that individuals' tendencies towards drug use and smoking cigarettes can be heavily influenced by their environment and personal circumstances. Factors such as lack of self-confidence and the inability to find healthier methods of obtaining dopamine rewards, like savoring a cup of coffee while engaging in productive activities such as studying, learning, and rehearsing, can increase impulsivity towards substance use. Procrastination, social isolation, and a lack of understanding that skills are developed through dedication and practice, rather than being innate, can also contribute to this behavior. It is essential to remember that the brain and body are tools provided by nature that should be treated with care. Misuse or excessive consumption of substances like marijuana, alcohol, and cigarettes can have long-term effects on an individual, potentially leading to cognitive regression and impaired memory retention, which may not be fully reversible. Therefore, it is advisable to gradually reduce consumption rather than abruptly stopping "cold turkey", or forcing one self , in which can instead be done slowly by incorporating at the same time healthy habits and never using cigarettes or weed as a reward after you do a hard session of work but rather incorporate them so you smoke less and less, and i would never tell a person in untactful way to stop using all drugs altogether, and use a 20 pound penalty bar hammer on his head. The ease or difficulty of overcoming substance dependence varies from person to person, depending on their unique circumstances. Understanding the multifaceted nature of desire and the various factors that influence an individual's level of dependency is crucial in addressing these issues effectively, hope my comment helped the readers re-hearse in a variable way.

I’ve been trying to quit for four months and I was able to for a moth then I relapsed idk it just feels almost impossible

Allen Carr's easy way helped me quit smoking after 19yrs. He doesn't say nicotine has no effect on the brain or body but states its harm in the short term n long term.Can't understand the motive behind your video.RIP Allen Carr!

I miss the old chicken crow intro. 2 days and 22 hours off nicotine....

Dipped for over 10 years. 35 days in to my quit. Anxiety through the roof. Any advice for me?

One week off of weed after every day use you have been a big support system

Hey! Sorry it has nothing to do with this video but ive been watching your videos about t-breaks and recently learned about chs. Ive been smoking on average 4 joints a week and only at night for 2 years, how long should i take a break to prevent chs from ever developing? Thank you ❤ (sorry for stalking 😂)

Keep doing these great videos!!

The "benefits" of nicotine all these influencers keep speaking of are laughable. There's only a few small reasons any "benefits" have been found. 1. Big Tabacco, DUH These guys just want to feel or look cool and justify it by saying there's benefits and then genuinely get addicted. Whether or not anyone wants to admit it most people get into nicotine to validate some illusion of, sex appeal, hard work, "stress" ect. It's all for appearances! It then becomes an addiction

I quit for 2 months during my 9 yrs vaping- when I quit, I smelled the vape bottle when I was nicking

5 days in, brother!! Dont tell them nicotine helps, it doesnt, need stress relief? There million better and more effective healthy ways. Nicotine doesnt help!!!!!! Kill it from your systemmmm

OK I am stressed and didnt see your gum whech is right in front of my face!! Haha! Just to let other's know that there is a meditation from Michael Sealy on quiting smoking it is great also to help with beginning to quit smoking!! Thanks Dolores

There is a lot of reason in you. I can see why Allen Carr books wouldn't do the trick for a lot of people anymore. It's marvellous at making one see nicotine addiction is mostly mental though. I'm reading Rational Recovery, which you recommended in one of your videos, awesome book! Keep up the good work.

Vaping has become incredibly expensive. 120 ml bottle of e juice now costs 50$ dollars. I typically go through 4 bottles a month that's 200$ a month! Not including the coils. It's something I have to quit or else.

I try to combination of the nicotine gum and the mints and I couldn’t take the mints because they made me wanna throw up like I literally get sick from them. I was able to quit successfully for three months and I went back to smoke only cigarettes and then during that three months when I stopped, I hit a vape and I have been addicted ever since I wanna stop

I tried 6mg pouch yesterday for studying, and I will say that it helped me stay focused and sharp during a 5 hour study session. I will say that 6mg is too much for me, and it felt uncomfortable keeping it my mouth, so I had to spit it out in less than 3 minutes. I will be switching to 2mg doses maybe once or twice a week for long study sessions. I’m only using nicotine for the enhanced focus when studying. Once I pass the exam, then I quit.

A few years ago I went to my doctor to get a check up and she asked me if I smoked and I said yes. Then she asked if I wanted to quit so I said yes. She put me on these pills (I wish I could remember the brand name) and they made me so depressed, like I've never felt before but after three days I stopped taking them. I was supposed to be on them for three months. I haven't smoked since. I wish there was something similar for weed and p*rn.

I quit vaping, zyn, & weed. FML I have a very stressful life and need something to help. 🤦‍♂️

3+ Months weed free. Looking at quitting nicotine now lesgoo, your a life saver Dr Frank . Appreciate you

I didnt have a issue cutting my nicotine to zero in my vape and keeping it that way.The habit of vaping was much much harder to quit.Im guessing its the hand to mouth thing.

Today marks 4 weeks since I quit smoking, cold turkey. Your channel appearing in my feed was the motivation I needed to finally do it. I can highly recommend watching some of Chris Skoyle's videos as well. It's basically motivation prn for quitting 😅 To be honest I'm very surprised by how little of a difference I feel. My blood flow to my hands and feet is markedly better, I'm not coughing all the time (which was the thing that really motivated me to quit), and I can smell when others have been smoking, but that's about it. On the other hand I also don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, so cravings have been minimal. The main thing for me is that I really want to chill for 5-10 minutes when I get home, but I haven't really found anything that works. Reading/watching/listening/gaming gets me distracted, and meditation or exercise doesn't really scratch the itch, however healthy it's supposed to be.

Allen also used the word “perceived benefit “ on his book, not just benefit

I don't want to vape for the rest of my life I want to stop it 5alas do it

If your struggling with nicotine or tobacco products the best way to quit is that it has to been within you , if you quit and go back it’s because you like it .

Day 1 of no Vaping and Nicotine

9:21 What is the enzyme being mentioned here? I hear "hooper enzyme A"....

3 days in. I hate this.

Are you gay bro be honest

I actually have this book it kinda helped me . The original version if Allen Carr book was better. Tbh knowing that he died from smoking made me feel awful 😢. It helped me quit smoking. Also thank you for your videos I've been nicotine free for 25 days❤
