Light the cigarette as often as you, like, Dave, but just don't put it in your mouth, you get fed up soon enough..

Its not easy Dave but if you really want to stop you will

Next week I'll have been off them for 6 months. Quite chuffed with myself as smoked 20-30 a day and have smoked for about 19 years. I got a £20 electronic cigarette of ebay. Looks like a ***, the end lit up like a *** and the vapour it produced even gave you the hit in the back of your throat. Used it for about 2-3 weeks and that was it. It now comes out maybe once a month when I'm having a bad day :incazzato: Hopefully this is it, fingers crossed I won't light up again!!

I'm still off them from eight months ago. The weight went on but has nearly all came off again. For about four months I (and a few others I know) was getting strange effects from my body chemistry changing like dry skin, dizzy turns,heartburn, flatulence, body functions out of sync and more. It's fine now but goes to show how my body became dependant on nicotine and tar. I now see smokers and wonder why I was smoking in the first place. I'm a pain-in-the-bum reformed smoker and I don't care :lol:

Brilliant, Sandy

I found it easy to come off them! I just stopped.

I stopped the smokes the moment my daughters mum said she could smell ciggy stench on my daughter after a hospital visit when she was first born, did about 7 months then went to a cousins wedding in England and got drunk and had a relapse. When I got back I started using something called "snus", a Swedish creation but very popular here too, even more so since the public place smoking ban. It's tobacco and it either comes in what looks like a little tea bag, or it's loose and you make little balls of it, and you shove it between top lip and gum. So I'm still a slave to nicotene but I'm jacking up a different way and off the ****. Now I'm one of those pain in the neck anti smokers, I seriously cant stand to be near someone that smells of stale smoke and if I work in a smokers house I feel like throwing up, but still crave one when I'm out on the wobble, but I just double up on the snus.

Okay I still smoke but use a good ecig with strong liquid and tobacco flavour I'm down to 10 a day but maybe 25 when I have a beer at weekends.

How's everybody else doing.

This is an old thread Dan!!
Did you have to dust the cobwebs off it.

In November I will have quit for 3 years.
Still have times when I could kill for one but the cravings don't last long now.
Have to say it was one the the hardest things I've ever done but glad I've done it and will never go back to smoking Purley cause I know how hard it is to quit.

I've not stayed off them since this thread was started. Probably smoked again for a year or so from last March time, went onto the vape again on May 1st this year so, haven't had a smoke since then, nearly 3 months now, struggle sometimes but, on the whole it's been ok. Lost a close friend and work colleague today and it's been a challenge not to go to the shop if I'm honest.

I quit smoking once. Worst 2 hours of my life.

Seriously though, tried loads of things. They work for a while, then i get wasted buy ****, have a couple while i'm out. Then have a part pack the next day. Will power not being my strong point, i finish the off and then need more. It starts all over again

26 months for me now
