Smoking Cigarettes + Biting Fingers During WFH
I’ve been smoking cigarettes for nearly 6 years (I’m 22) and I’ve been biting my fingers for god knows how long.
During my internship last semester it was incredibly easy to quit smoking cold turkey because I was working at the office nearly 13–15h a day. Also, I rarely bit my fingers because I wouldn’t want co-workers to see that sh*t.
Now, I’m WFH and I started smoking aggressively because my stress levels are obviously higher than they normally would be during school. Unfortunately, my family members are smokers too.
Anyone else dealing with this? Do you have any advice on how to combat this?
I want to breathe like a 22 year old male should be able to.
Start gum or patches
it’s gonna be hard to quit bro i tried. it’s easy to go without it for a bit but once you get that terse email from vp/md or just finish a super time crunch assignment you’re gonna instinctively reach for your vape/cig to take the edge of and even if you don’t that unfulfilled craving is gonna add to your mental load it sucks man

For biting fingers, just take a look at them. They must look disgusting, no offense. Your fingernails are something no one will comment on but might make you look bad.
Smoking - Figure out why you smoke, why you want to stop. You smoke because it helps you cope with something. Figure out what that is, and then the next step is to figure out how to cope with that issue with different methods besides smoking.
For example: I've started no fap again (longest stint was 6 months). It's hard in the beginning, but it gets easier after 3-6 days.
What are your benefits on no fap?
in addition to the advice above, tell someone you plan on quitting, I'd be shocked if they didn't applaud the decision. it will help you keep yourself accountable, and may cause your family members to change, at a minimum maybe they won't smoke around you
For the time being before you get away from your family situation and can fully quit, make yourself do 20 burpees before each time you light up. If 20 burpees is easy then do 30, whatever gets you fully winded.
All the vices are coming out!
on nicotine: i'm with you bro i've been chain vaping like crazy. not sure i can help here
on nails: i used to be a habitual nail biter and what worked for me is keep a nail clipper on your desk and every time you have the urge to bite, clip instead.
OP here. Do any of you also bite the skin off your fingers? I’m a fucking animal I can’t help it
biting/picking at my nails has been my worst habit for so long, every time I try to stop doing it I last like 5 days before I subconsciously start again
Guilty. It’s a stress reliever for me but it’s a horrible look. I don’t know how to stop and I’m not sure I want to
