Been thinking about it for a while now and in a rash moment i announced i was going to pack up smoking after our week in a caravan (could'nt face packing up before) well first days nearly over, on me second patch (first one i found stuck to my T shirt) and i could murder a fag, starting to wish to f##k i'd kept my mouth shut, i can see me getting proper ratty, when will i learn to think before gobbing off

Aye! i thought i'd hoover the truck for summat to do but i'd finished it in no time at all cos i was'nt stopping for a fag

Hang on in there Ian, the patches DO work, I know because that's how I gave up

The patches do work a treat.If you stick one over each eye you cant find your fags

but also.....them patches are bl00dy hard to light

[BUSHWHACKER]

If I wanted to start smoking, should I start with the patches and work my way up??

[GRASSMAN]

The first 9 months are the hardest

Go to your Doc's and ask for help there, I stopped smoking last December,
and not had one since, feel a lot better too, a new treatment tried on me were called CHAMPIX, a script only, but they DO WORK. Go on, they won't kill you, smoking will !!!! Savings of £38.00 p/w will make running a Surf a bit easier too. Wifey has nearly stopped as well, down to 2 a day now.

Hi Popeye,

It's hard going I am on my fourth day now without a roll up. I am using the nicorette inhalator. I got to say that it is a dam silly looking thing but it does mimic smoking and if you suck hard enough you even cough like you have had a good old draw of your fav brand...

Good luck...

I always intend to smoke the one the says smoking when pregnant may harm your baby as i never intend to get pregnant so i will be fine

[soramad]

not wishing to boast, but i stopped 10 years ago cold turkey, however i used to smoke cafe' creme cigars and am convinced that they did not contain the crap thats put in cigarettes which i think makes giving them up so hard, when ever i walk past someone who is smoking cigars, i remember that smell as you light up and take the first drag but i don't miss it one little bit, believe me over a period of time giving up will be well worth it.

[darkdezigns]

good for you ian,wish i had the will power

[BioHazard]

I still miss rollies after giving up 6 years ago ........ and love the smell of a freshly opened pouch of bacci .


Then again i got scared into giving up as had unknowingly got a partically colapsed lung and a bad chest infection ............. yes i thought i had the big c.

Go see the doc as they have more than just patches

Just do what I do Ian. I love smoking, but occasionally 'give up' to prove a point, i.e: I'm a stubborn ba****d. I just spend all my time being extremely nasty to everyone. Guaranteed, our Gert forces me to start smoking again before the day is out.

[POPEYE]

Same as that Matt, found my wife even more annoying yesterday, she had the bl00dy nerve to ask if i wanted a cup of tea!!! told here where to go, she wont ask again, cow!
yeah i went to the docs before the holiday who do an quit smoking clinic, i saw those plastic tube immatation fags things but did'nt fancy standing outside the club with all the other smokers with that so went for the patches "again" this morning i feel hot, dizzy, a spliting head ache, in a word cr@p!
it was'nt so much the money as i useually got my baccy from a guy that get's it from spain (£5 a pouch) and to "bolster" it out i mixed it with some cheapo asda german baccy called bayside, virgina and mixed, so a pouch of GV plus one each of bayside was nearly lasting a month, theres just nothing to replace a fag really, that first one in the morning with ya cup o tea,
anyway we'll see how it goes, i should have been put of after spending a week on hospital after an astma attack (the only one i ever had) and seeing some of the poor sods in there, but two months out and you start to justify haveing a fag by saying to yourself i'll just have the odd one now and again,
