Anyone planning any ?

Well, I gave up smoking almost two years ago. So maybe I'll start again     

[cam2502]

To try and stop smoking. Its costing me around £200 a month and thats just madness. And of course the health issue side of things as well.
Gave up for 3 years about 10 years ago. Done it cold turkey the last time but not so sure I can this time so considering what help is best?
 Patches? Gum? Signing up to nhs ?

I used Zyban nearly 11 years ago though I believe they prescribe Champix these days. It worked for me, though you still need a large amount of won't power.

Didn't I read somewhere that this causes some severe side affects in some people?

Something to do with blood pressure I think, hence the switch to Champix

stop looking at the "total time logged in" banner.

I'm going to start drinking and smoking I think 

I need to do something to calm the nerves and stresses 

[MR MISTER]

I'm gonna relax a bit more, or try to organise my time better. I seem to always be running around. Most days I'm knackered by 11 o'clock.

Book an appointment with your GP's nurse....

They will put on a prescription..... 2 weeks worth of Nicorette patches (high strength) plus nicorette mouth spray or inhaler, but i reckon the spray is better (better hit of nicotine)

Even if you pay for prescriptions.....that a huge saving than buying it privately

2 weeks later, same again but step 2 (lower dose of patches)

2 weeks later, same again but step 3 (again lower dose of patches)

But you need the willpower and good reason to stop

Good luck 

[MR MISTER]

I stopped smoking five years ago, but I'm still on the nicotine gum. Love it

We've noticed.....by 11am you become grumpy and keep falling asleep....

[biggriffin]

Gave up 2 years ago whilst on holidays, iam now a smoker who chooses not to smoke..
easiest way is to extend the amount off time till you have your first fag of the day, its the first one which affects you the most,and don't make a date or any off that clap trap, you have to want to not smoke,get that in your mind first,then the extended first fag and you should do it,remember you are a smoker who chooses not to...
i could easily start agai,as i do miss a fag and a cuppa,but i chose not to...

I found that NiQuitin lozenges worked for me.

I started on the 4mg tabs, and after two weeks was down to the 1.5mg where I stayed for another 9 weeks.

The lozenges are ordinarily £5 a pack (20 in a pack), but I got mine free through the NHS stop smoking deal.
I'll tell you for free right now that it wasn't just down to the lozenges where giving up was concerned, all they did was give me the nicotine fix I required at the time, there is still a fair amount of willpower involved as well.

Make sure you do, you won't regret it.

I have found a good way to give up smoking.. put one bullet in a revolver , aim your head and pull the trigger until it fires

Or...you could just go out with a banner that says "Erdogan is a bent bastid", that would do it
