Chinese dildos, I'd be wary of buying dodgy vaping liquid in Thailand.
Although, I'd be wary of fuckers like Hal and Chitty over here too, mind

The Blahs
Discomforts Are Temporary
"Icky Threes" is a term that comes up over and over again during the process of smoking cessation. It refers to particular phases of a person's quit program that can be bumpy and uncomfortable.
Not everyone experiences the Icky Threes, or if they do, it might happen at slightly different time intervals, but it is common enough to take note of and be prepared for should it happen to you.
3 Days: Physical Withdrawal
The first three days of smoking cessation are intense for most ex-smokers. We're experiencing the intensity of nicotine withdrawal, and often, some excitement as well.
Taking the initial plunge into smoking cessation is something most ex-smokers dream of for a long time, but by the third day, the reality is setting in and so are the discomforts of physical withdrawal from nicotine.1
7 Tips for Surviving Nicotine Withdrawal
3 Weeks: Psychological Withdrawal
At three weeks, we've gotten through the shock of physical withdrawal and we're just beginning to tackle the mental side of nicotine addiction.2 This turn of events often triggers cravings to smoke that can feel like we're back at square one again.
Be aware that even though nicotine might be out of your system by this point, psychological cravings can produce real physical reactions, making a mental trigger feel like physical withdrawal.
Thinking about that smoke break you used to take at a certain time of the day can cause tension that makes your stomach churn and leaves you on edge. It feels like a physical craving, and in a way it is...but the source is a thought, not physical withdrawal from nicotine.
3 Months: The Blahs
At three months the "newness" of the quit program is wearing off and we're often left thinking "Is that all there is?" The blahs hit, in other words. That usually triggers cravings to smoke, often quite intensely.
This is a time period when relapse is common. It can be discouraging to have strong smoking urges surface after months of cessation.2 For those who don't know why it's happening, it can feel like nicotine addiction will never let go of us, so what is the use of trying to quit.
Power on through this phase, because what you're feeling is temporary and normal.
Comfort with the new smoke-free life you're building will continue to grow with time, but only if you don't smoke. If you do, you'll be right back where you started 3 months ago.
Discomforts Are Temporary
Don't let the discomforts that come with smoking cessation throw you off course. They are all temporary, and once you move through them, they'll be cleared out and gone for good.1 It takes time though, so try to relax and let it unfold for you as it will.
Don't put preconceived expectations on your recovery — just resolve to give yourself as much time as it takes for you. Do this and you will find peace ... and eventually, lasting freedom.
Luckily you never got captured and smokeboarded eh?
Well it's not going to be butane gas......

I've already posted somwhere else FKW, but my method was to gradually have my first cigarette an hour or so later. Then when I was comfortable with the new starting time, start an hour later again until I was comfortable with that. Repeat process until you get to 7pm or thereabouts and then cold Turkey. It worked for me. I havent smoked in about 16 years and have absolutely no desire to do so. For me, as time passed I would get an occasional craving after a good meal or a beer but it was fleeting only. After two or three years (having smoked since I was 15) I never had a twinge. I think it is one of the best things you will ever do for your body.
Warning!
Dont substitute the nicotine for food or you will rapidly gain weight.
Is there any TD regulars who didn't smoke ?
I didn't. I was always kinda jealous of ppl addicted to something. All they needed was to feed their addiction to be fulfilled. I wish a cigarette would be all I need to keep going.
Funny you say that,
Before i came to live in Thailand, i had quite smoking and drinking, for 8 years drinking and 3 years smoking. The drinking was to keep the law enforcement job and the smoking was to save money to come to Thailand. LOL, have a guess what i started doing when i got here?
