3 Days As a Non Smoker!

[AMtek]

Who else has quit? What was the Hardest Part? Any tips?

 

[J Sid]

3 times now. 2 years each time. Just gone over the 2 year mark again, think i have cracked it this time.
My step dad has given up for about 50years now, still misses it.
Good luck.
I found the wife nagging kept me off them.

'If you want to see your kids grow you will stop.'

Im currently using this one on my brother at the minute.

Im a year free on 4th november with a shisha pen type ***. Had a few drunken cigs tho.

I quit ciggies on Sept 11 2001 whilst in America, Las Vegas, in a different life

I did continue to smoke cigars for a year or so and then quit them.

I'd also tried a number of times before to quit and failed, even after a year or so, but the last time was different. I wanted to stop rather than thinking I should stop.

I used to smoke Camel filters, about 40 a day whilst in the UK and Lucky Strikes when I was in the States.

12 years on I don't miss ciggies at all, in fact there's no worse non smoker than an ex smoker.

I do miss cigars though and I could nip the end of a Montecristo No5 right now and have a good toke.

I quit Aug 2000, never looked. My tip is focus on the money you save and what to do with it.

yep, quit yesterday, so early days still, you could say were in the same boat, we could become virtual quit buddies ..lol

im sticking a nicotine patch on in the mornings to help with the cravings, I find the habbit of smoking harder to quit, theres certain times of the days I would have a ***, on the way to work, waiting for adhesive to dry, after a coffee, so trying to keep myself busy...

what are theses E-cigs all about..?

 

[J Sid]

Brother gave up over 2 years ago. Addicted to the e cigs now

i packed em in about five years ago now ,cold turkey,i was going through roughly 60 a day,spent more time making exuses up to miself to go to the van for something to have a smoke ,keep with it ,i started to put the money for the **** away in a jar and whatch it soon mount up,then you can treatyourself or family to something nice ,also you fix more tiles with not having to keep nippin out, so make more money,good luck its not easy, but you can do it

there good and sold for about 30 on the markets. a complete substitute for smoking even feels like your smoking but is vapour.

Quit buddies, I like that haha. I've got an e cig, actually got 2, 1 on charge while I use the other. I'm actually finding it really to use it instead of smoking they do feel a lot like smoking but without all the other crap that goes with the nicotine.

Like juliansidney says though I will just end up hooked on the e cig but would rather that than stay on the ****!

I never spent a lot on ****, I smoked rollies so it cost me about 2 quid a day. My main motivation is my other half, she's a none smoker and hates the way I smell after I've had a ***

 

[Andy Allen]

Im on the patches and I must say they really help with the cravings, hardly thought about it today, my wife smokes, and like you the money wasn't an issue as I smoked rollies, mines more for health reasons, was feeling a bit tight in the chest, after a visit to the docs and some test turns out I could have angina.....big wake up call to start leading a more healthy life stile...

I'm on week 5 now and this has been the hardest week so far!

bugger.....don't get any easier then, how long is it befere you start to completely forget about having a ciggy..?

 

[J Sid]

You never forget about them, but it will get better. You know you are winning when you stand behind someone in, say, super market and they stink of smoke, and it turns your stomach to think you once smelt like that.
Keep going.

today is day is 10 for me and still not had one even after I broke my phone, have a customer tell me he can't afford to pay me for another week and then the transit spat the fan belt off on the way home, all in one day! How it going for you andy allen?

 

[Dan]

I keep trying and failing

Will try again soon but at the moment life is a little too stressful and I'd fear chewing my fingers off if I tried again right now.

 

[AMtek]

I'd tried a lot and gone back to the **** but the e cigs really are good. When I tried to quit in the past the thing I really missed was taking a good lung full of smoke and blowing I tout but you can do that with e cigs, the only difference is that they don't have all the other toxic stuff in them

 

[Mr Tiler]

yeh I think its supposed to be 1 of the toxins inhaled compeared to a cigarette... I want to try and stop but know I will fail lol

Maybe if you made the same effort and persistence as you do here you would do it ?

 

[Mr Tiler]

[CJ]
