you may put some weight on as your metabolism will slow down as a non smoker also ciggys act as an appetite suppressant make sure that if you nibble food as an alternative to smoking that its low fat, low sugar. If you do put on weight don't worry about it, one step at a time deal with the smoking when you've cracked that turn your attention to any weight you may put on remember smoking is a lot worse for your health than carrying a few extra pounds

I could do with a few extra pounds really i am like a stick!

I could do with a few extra pounds really i am like a stick!

i lost a stone in the first 6 months after my little girl was born (sleep depravation does weird things).

but in the first 3 months since giving up the weed i've put it all back on (15 stone now )

but as said better to not smoke and worry about extra pounds later, and if i can't get any fuel monday i'll be biking to work

I was thinking about it but my father in-law came round with 10 packs of bacci so i will think about it again in a few weeks.Anyway good luck marie

Marie, I stopped smoking 14 days 23 hours and 17 minutes ago, I love smoking and have smoked for 26 years, I am on patches and nicotine gum.

I went to the GP after a week to get the patches on prescription, IT IS BLOODY HARD, there is not one hour of the day that i don't want a fag, but stick with it, if you read up on nicotine addiction on the Internet some sources say that it is equivalent to coming off an A class drug.

I switched to Silk Cut silver (very mild) for a few months, went on a diet (lost two stone) and then gradually cut down from 30 a day to 10, I then stopped, don't know if i will last out but i am trying.

If you have not smoked you have not got a clue what its like quitting, and the money was not a problem as my mate travels to Greece 5 times a year so never paid more than £2 a packet.

I actually feel worse now i have quit, cant sleep cough is bad and a few other things.

On a lighter note i have 26 cigarette lighters and 46 boxes of matches for sale if anyone wants them.

Best of luck

i can remember feeling just like that ,but now i never ever think about smoking,it took me 25 years and i never thought i would see the day when i wouldnt want a ciggy,but it does come.i can remember telling this to my favourite uncle when i saw him in ireland last year.he was a heavy smoker and i was trying to encourage him to give up . he was diagnosed with lung cancer earlier this year and died last week at the age of 58.his first grandchild is due to be born in the next couple of weeks.

sorry about your uncle   my father in law quit 32 years ago and he says he could start again any time and he's 78

W.R.A.C,  (warm, round and cuddley !) sounds nice !!!!!!!!

I tried to give up a few times, but it didn't work. However I woke up one morning, mouth tasted like sh*t, and I thought "thats it, no more" and I stuck to it, for the last 30 years.
Its worth it, I see people walking around, younger than me, who I doubt will last me out, plus you will be able to see your kid (s?) grow up and get  married etc.

Life's worth living, and enjoying.

its strange ,but i found that it seems impossible, but suddenly your head is in the right place and it becomes easier,which might prove that it is all in the mind,even if we dont understand why.  :-/

If it was easy many, MANY, more would give it up -- but stick with it -- worth it in the long run

Still a tenner a week saved -- spend it on the mig!

I actually feel worse now i have quit, cant sleep cough is bad and a few other things.

Bad sleep is withdrawal, bad cough is the fact that your lungs are trying to get rid of the muck they have collected. The little hairs that filter out dust etc are paralysed when you smoke -- they are recovering and now trying to shovel out all sorts !!

On a lighter note i have 26 cigarette lighters and 46 boxes of matches for sale if anyone wants them.

Try selling them outside the airport -- to those that had theirs confiscated at the other end !

Best of luck

Keep it up all of you

It is in the mind you have to want to do it and above all dont be weak it is killing you plain and simple just take a look at this link and look at the picture and tell me if you want another fag?
