[CJ]

This giving up smoking mullarky is doing my head in. I know, I know, disgusting habit and all that.

Cold Turkey is a *****.

9 weeks mate hating it but it's got to be done get to the doctors and get some champix makes it a whole lot easier

 

[Ian]

A mate of mine says that champix makes it 10 times easier. What are they, tablets?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I'am very anti smoking.

 

[John Benton]

Don't smoke, never have, do I feel better for not smoking. Hell yes, well I think I do!!

 

[cam_low]

John I'm sure u smoke more than them popes in Election Day

 

[cam_low]

By the way in 6 months free gone Thursday. I got an electric cig from totally wicked, ego-c tornado. Champix made me sick angry and depressed. Not good.

 

[John Benton]

Seriously, both my parents smoked and neither my brother or I smoke. I personally hate it, can't stand the smell, was so glad when it got banned from public places!!! I think you either go one way or the other, you either follow in their footsteps or just avoid them.

Strangely enough both my parents stopped smoking after about 40 years, unfortunately my father passed away 11 years ago due to emphysema. So on that level I'm glad that I never started.

 

[Gazzer]

Never smoked but both parents and brother did.
Cant really comment on how hard it is but good on ya and I do think its for the better

 

[cam_low]

Sorry John it must be another member with a green handle! I followed, had my dad due in my arms from it. Stopped forever now. I smelt baaaaaad!!!

I am on the "Champix". Been on them for almost 2 weeks now. They are a tablet for cutting down on the cravings Bri. They do work.....to a degree. List of possible side effects as long as your arm, including suicidal tendencies......now that is a sure fire way of giving up.

For the peeps out there who don't/never smoked.......please don't comment, as there is nothing worse than a non smoker who bleats on about "disgusting habits/bad for health" blah blah blah.

Smokers DO know this......but like any DRUG, they are addictive.

sorry for rant......need to slap something/someone :lol:

Maybe should take up drinking more. :yikes:

I've quit smoking a few times, the longest period was 4 years. I always seem to start back up again. I don't find stopping that difficult, my problem is that I enjoy smoking and don't want to stop.

I know exactly wot you mean about enjoying a smoke. Non smokers will find that impossible to believe, but at almost £7 a day/packet, it's an expensive habit. Never got the hang of roll ups.









I'm off down the pub for a few. Might find a small guy and start a fight. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Ian]

I smoke rollies, I reckon it only costs me a tenner a week to smoke, so there isn't even a financial incentive to stop.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i don't smoke, but had a guy working for me that did, and he gave-up while working for me , after three days i had to tell him to start again as he turned in to a rat-bag LOL,,,,,,,

 

[Andy Allen]

hi, my names andy, and i smoke....there got that over with....

on a lighter note, i worked for a guy from siria this week, he smoked like a chimley, and i asked if he ever smoked one of these... yes he said, i got one, next thing i know hes setting it up, we went for grape flavour baccy, and 10 mins later we were having a puff on it, totally different to smoking a ***, can really taste the grape flavour, supposed to be not as harmfull, if thats possible, might feel a bit of a prat driving round with one of them sat next to me in the van..:lol:

i have thought about packing it in to, i only smoke about 6/7 a day, but thats to much, just dont know what i will do with myself waiting for the grout to dry..lol

I've been smoking since I was 13 & now 20 years on I'm still doing it.

I've recently been seriously considering it. I've never really had a reason too & had nothing to drive me to do it. I used to smoke more when stressed but since Christmas, I've had nothing to stress about. Work is going great, family are all well & things just couldn't be better. I was thinking about giving my self a goal that I could achieve much quicker if I didn't smoke. Big new car, buying properties etc. Really need to get my finger out & do it as I just keep forgetting. This thread has been a good start!

Got an e-cig 4 weeks ago and haven't had a *** since. Yes I know I'm still a nicotine addict but the e-juice costs me £2.50 a week (and I 'vape' alot). I feel so much better for it - just like smoking but none of the crap going into your lungs and no smell.
Only a matter of time before the government start taxing the e-juice though, even though if every smoker went onto these then all smoking related deaths and illnesses would be a thing of the past saving the NHS billions and billions.

 

[wivers]

The last thing i smoked was a customers kitchen worktop when the tile boxes caught light on the hob. Keep on going CJ my son.

 

[peteablard]

I stopped again at new year, I have the odd one or ten when I go out but never touch them during the week. I was on twenty a day and get so much more work done without them!

[Ajax123]

Mate of mine and his wife gave up smoking a couple of years ago. They decided to put all the money they would have spent on cigs into an account and save up for stuff. They have had two Hoildays abroad so far iand just bought a new all singing and all dancing 3d telly.

Yeah, I think when the little one tells me I smell, that'll make me think about quitting.

 

[Aston]

the easiest way to stop smoking is to light up a cigarette AND put the lit end in your mouth. works a treat ;0)

 

[Bubblecraft]

I tried those e-cigs & worked great for the first packet. For some reason, all packets after that didn't give me the fix though they were the exact same
