And counting! Im giving up smoking today and this time im gonna make a REAL effort!! I woke just before 9am this morn and normally ive had at least 6 by now. Going cold turkey,so any tips will be most welcome. :y
-
I wish you luck .... im needing to quit as well :y
-
Get those nicotine lozenges - the ones you suck, not gum.
they take away the nicotine craving and give you something to stick in your mouth as well, so dealing with both cravings at once!
However, you may wish to discount my advice as I still smoke. Quitting is easy, I've done it loads of times! ;D :y
-
Last time i stopped for 9 months .... a few years back certainly but i found the patches really helped me :y
-
I used Zyban (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100004174.html) although they don't prescribe it anymore ...... and prescribe Champix (http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/medicines/100005109.html) instead.
It worked for me. 7 years so far .... :y

Well done.......................I gave up in 1980.................yet still .....at times ..........I dream that I 'am smoking.
My last packet of 20 Gold Leaf.............cost me 51p......in 1980.....I have no idea what they cost these days. :y :y :y :y
My tip .............for giving up .....is to have something "suckable" that you can put in your mouth..........A girlfriend or wife ........may be of help in this respect. ::) ::) :y
-
Well done all of you. I'm not even going to bother, i love smoking & i'm still losing weight, it's working slowly, nearly 2 stone since January so that's what i'm working on.
That said, smoking is bad news so best of luck. :y

Agree Zyban is good...mum was a 40 a day smoker for 40 odd years and stopped straight away with Zyban.
Silly cow started again thinking ""well 1 wont hurt"".
Going too look into Champix as i really want too stop.... :(
-
I don't know anything about giving up smoking because i never smoked just wanted wish you luck :y
-
Best of luck with your attempt, just do not take your frustration, anger, and agitation out on us!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
Anyway, are you succeeding Cam?? :-? :-?
-
Good Luck
Ive tried everything except Zybans replacement
i had Zyban and it sent me loopy its a drug thats used for treating Schitzophrenics (Sorry if ive spelt it wrong)
i still havent managed to give up... wish i could though everytime i try though i end up suffering with severe stress
-
Just an update........thats just over 30hrs now,( not that im counting or anything! haha!) and still no ciggys!! Had a huge craving last nite but managed to occupy my mind by making a curry. So i guess the money i'll save will go on replacing clothes!! :)
-
Well done Cam!! :y :y
Yes, everyone who I have ever known to give up smoking has always put weight on! ::) ::) ::) But at least it is a good excuse to replenish your wardrobe! :D ;)

Yes Rob, that's how SWMBO got them. :y
They help her - she's finnished the course now - and she's had many failed attempts before. ;)

I dunno how people can afford to smoke, its so bloody expensive luckily never got into it so no tips coming from me :y
-
Well done Cam!! :y :y

Its partly because there finally breathing pure air rather than a nicotine mix plus of course the need for something to put in the gob constantly :y
