I want to stop,but i enjoy a ciggie,
but i find driving to first job ciggie,cup of tea off customer next ciggie,then onto next job ciggie then a another cup of tea
i think i,ll have to give up tea as well.and they are stress reliever and when you need 5 mins to think about a ball ache of boiler breakdown

is this something to do with him being a ***?.

Hes dead now Martin, died of lung cancer😱 despite not smoking for years.

i really want to give up,my mum whos just had a stroke is insisting i do before she leaves hospital shes smoked for 38 years has not had a *** since her stroke(10 weeks ago) and is fully blaming the **** for it

Do it fella. The doctors have loads of advice, pills, patches and whatnot to give you FOC!!!!

I've had one ciggy in two halves today and will probably do it again before I get to bed. It's annoying but I'm thankful for having a bit of man flu over the weekend which has left me with a really chesty cough and even not having a ciggy aches.

hey all good luck on quitting the cigs i gave up 6 years ago and its the best thing i have ever done saved myself loads of cash (well actually i was unemployed so had no money to buy them so had no choice) i have had the odd one since when on the beer but i hate the taste of it and throw nearly a full cig away its awful especially when you wake up with a mouth that tastes like you ate the contents of an ashtray your wallet will thank you for it! good luck all that are doing it

Formally a regular smoker, I've now restricted myself to only having a tab while I drink which incidently is maybe once a week.

A new baby helped solidify my resolve but also running helped. You are nearly a 3rd more likely to quit if you take up running.

 

[dontknowitall]

Fortunately I don't like running - I much prefer cycling as you get there faster ...

GIVE UP SMOKING OVERNIGHT!

'tis easy apparently.....a friend put me onto this and mines in the post

snus - a nicotine product that satisfies cravings, without the health risks of actually smoking.


Portion snus, snuff with a strong tobacco taste.

I used to have the perfect plan for not smoking, I only smoke after sex, for 40 years I didnt smoke, then I met my current missus, I am now on 40 a day!!!!!!!!

Just change the rule to only smoking after sex lasts longer than 2 or 3 minutes,according to your miss's you would be back down to one a every month or so
😉😀😛

cheers Puddle 2 - 3 seconds huh I wouldnt want to spoil her!!!!

 

[blayedrunner]

Gave up 4 days ago for the 4000000 time!!!! I'm hoping this will be the final time.

 

[Deleted member 7121]

Yea used to smoke 30 a days been stopped 5 years now best thing i ever done !!!!!if you try to stop just keep at it had tried about 6 times before getting there !!!!

 

[Billy Bob Bob]

i am doing me best it killed my grandad at a young age 58 lung cancer brought on by falling off a telegraph pole (bt engineer)

 

[Ian10261]

Gave it up 6 days ago, deliberately picked a day i knew would be relatively stress free and used them nicotine patches. So far so good, even at the pub. the real test comes tomorrow, got a really nasty boiler swap and awkward rads add to the system. Also working with another plumber who smokes like the proverbial and can sometimes really test me patience......wish me luck !!

Good luck ian10261 I wish I had never started as I can feel the difference on my body and I have only been smoking 5 years, so stick at at, and when you see yer mate smoking just keep a mental picture in your mind of all the black tar that is collecting in yer mates lungs.

 

[Gray0689]

I stopped 8 years ago I was a 20 a day but stopped when we had wee girl didn't want to have me stinking of gags holding her

 

[Ian10261]

Its 2 weeks since me last *** now, still ok but keep dreaming about smoking and waking up actually believing i've smoked.
Beer is tasting much better, just gotta keep an eye on that one or i'll end up a real F/B.

Well done Ian that takes some real will power so nice one and keep at it, and can you please point when you mention F/B as some of us may get confused!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Ian10261]

Progress report, just gone over the 3 months mark but still think about smoking every day, then again its been part of me life fer the past 35 years so it aint going away anytime soon i suppose.

 

[dontknowitall]

Well done, Ian10261 - I heard it takes one month for every year to get over it properly. From experience I can tell you that if you try another now it will nearly make you sick.

Hope it continues to go well. Won't be too long though until you realise that yesterday you never thought once about it!!
