I've been on Mounjaro for 4 months now. You normally start with an initial lower dose and increase the dose after a month. I lost 5 kg (~11 lbs) on the initial dose in the first month, and when I increased the dose, I also stopped smoking.

I've been smoking on and off for 20 years. I have stopped (and relapsed) many times, so I believe I can compare. This was a lot easier. I mean, I had cravings, but they weren't really that bad, and while the first week is generally the difficult part, I only had a couple of days with issues. I did not lose weight that month, though, which is fine as I would normally gain a lot due to compensating for cravings.

I increased the dose again and started losing weight. I guess some people gain weight when they stop using GLP-1. Even if that happens, I'm fine with stopping smoking without weight gain.

That's incredible! Smoking is the hardest one of them. Mainly because smokers tend to be skinny, as cigs kill your appetite (unlike alcoholics who tend to be fat) and all GLP-1 effects go together with the weight loss.

Congrats. Smoking is a bitch of a habit and extremely hard to quit.

Nicotine pouches (or even vaping) are astronomically less harmful than cigarettes and still work as appetite suppressors. As a bonus they are more convenient to use in public. Smokers should consider considering switching instead of quitting nicotine entirely if it's easier.
