Well thats a week now without a fag ... woke up last Monday morning and thought that it , enough .
So went to my local chemist and signed on to there no smoking program thingy .
Now i've tried umpteen times before and always failed :'(.... i seem to find it harder as time goes by than getting easier . Last time i lasted 3 months .
Got these Niquitin Mini's that look like tic-tacs and the Niquitin Spray thingy all free for joining this program thing .
Anyway yesterday and today have been a struggle but up untill then its been easy .
The mouth spray thing is great though ... two sprays and the relief is instant ;D
So for anyone else thinking about quitting these things are good ... Im not saying Ive quit yet but these are much better than the patches Ive tried before .

Keep at it! :y :y :y
It's the hardest thing you'll do! ???

I stopped about 5 days ago. Same thing really, woke up and said thats enough and just stopped. Big test at the weekend with having a few drinks but I managed to leave them alone :)

I was sitting in the gazebo at one point surrounded by smokers , i had to run away and hide for 10 mins in the house with my spray ;D

You gota hate it. Hate it like its trying to kill you and rob you all at once. Would you stand for that if a person did that to you? No. Never give in, ever.
You can do it. Keep fighting the bugger. You can do it. Kill the fags, stamp on them in your mind. Grind them to dust, kill the fags.
...well that was my approach anyway. ;D
Keep at it chaps. Best of luck. :y

Keep it up guys :y :y been off them now for 7 months it does get easier :)

Maybe that's your biggest mistake. You should really be saying to yourself (and anyone who wants to listen) that you've given up.

well done Proz and Pete keep it up sure you will see the benifits :y :y

Took me from the age of 14 to the age of 40 to stop. Never thought I could do it (although I as forever trying). Similarily,I suddenly decided Id had enough one day and bought a nicotine inhalator instead.It took a few months ,but I got to the point where I cant stand the smell of them,and if someone who smokes even walks past its the worst smell in the world.Keep at it,you,ll get there. :y
-
the wife got them stick things that look like a white pen, she tried few times before that just by going cold turkey. success 14years later and never touched once since!mind you dont know if you can still get them today, cost 20quid for pack 3. when i ask her she must feel better for it, her reply not really. i couldnt bloody afford to smoke now! take one day at a time and good luck. :y
-
as of tomorrow night ive done 6 months and after all previous attempts ive found this time easy,one tuesday night i ran out of baccy and just said sod it and didnt buy anymore and as albs says i cant stand the smell of it now,if someones just had one and they come talk to me i gip.keep it up and you seen realise you dont need to do it
-
Well done, I wish both of you every success. :y :y :y
-
I decided at 40 i would give up and had it set in my mind six months before hans, so on my Birthday that was it and i've been clean 7 months now and i'd never go back the thought of putting one in my mouth now is disgusting!! keep at it i was smoking 30 a day and didn't think i could do it but it is doable!.
-
Good luck!!! You know it makes sense!! :y :y :y
-
Good on you mate :y
I've been a anti smoking nazi for a few years now :y
-
quite a few ex smokers there, some suprised me that they had actually smoked........think ex smokers are genrally more anti smoking probably becuase they have indeed made the effort to give up :y1
-
Stick with it matey, it's well worth the effort! :y

Packed the dreaded weed in years ago firstly for health reasons but secondly for some financial gain Ha!! should have realized that being the owner of an Omega this was never going to happen. ;D ;D ;D :y :y

Would have thought the way AVFC play was more likely to kill you ;D ;D ;D

the more they keep on to me quit smoking the less i will do it i just dont want to give up every doctor i see they say give up and i say no thank you >:( >:(

After several poor attempts (Half-Hearted) I finally managed to give up on 6th March 1999, aged 46. The only reason I remember the date is adding the 6 and the 3 plus the 99 gives 999 8)
IME you have to really want to give up. It is no good anyone telling you to give up.
I still fancy a ciggy but, having given up for so long, it is just not worth it starting again. I would be back up to 20 a day within a week.
I finally cracked it by putting patches on my arm and using nicotine chewing gum, all at the same time!!! I tried the patches and the gum seperately but it was never enough as I had been smoking since an very early age.

Its a double edged sword, we get billions in tax from them, yet it costs the NHS billions to care for its effects.
I know many who smoke & its their choice, but I think it's horrible, expensive habbit. I hate walking along street, then somone puffs out a load of ciggy smoke that I have to then breath in. No so bad for me, but I really hate it when I see people with young children and babies puffing away around them. :'( >:(

You have to wonder what will happen if those numbers were reversed, with the constant drive to reduce smokers, it suggests at some point revenue will dip below costs.

Simple, govt. will increase income tax or introduce another stealth tax to make up any shortfall
