50 years 10 years 5 years its all the same you either want to give up or you don't.

i done 28 years of smoking and i can honestly say that if it were not for the operation and the sights i seen in hospital i would still be smoking.

been stopped for 2.5 years now, no gimmic, no gum, no inhaler, no micro tabs, just WANTED to stop.

Seriously, if you want to stop you really will, it gets less stressfull so it's not a hard slog all the way (i must admit the location Bear swore he would stick some croc clips did make me think twice too lol).

Best of luck and my full support to anyone who want's to stop!.

Me too; 3 years out now. Just decided at one point to stop and did. I am a big believer that you can only give up if YOU really want to rather than pressure from friends, people telling you it's bad for you etc.

One of the biggest things you notice after giving up is how much people who smoke absolutely honk of stale smoke

It's disgusting and I feel embarrassed that I ever subjected it to the people I sit with at work.

Back on the fecking things.

10deck poverty packs, but as you know its the slippery slope.

Anybody tried/doing vaping? Still give you a good dunt?

Found a shop down the road from me doing starter kits.

I stopped over a year ago after smoking 20+ a day for 20 years and wouldnt go back. I still have a puff about once a fortnight, but not tobacco of any sort

Its nice to be able to smell and taste things properly again and i dont get coughs and colds in the winter like i used to. I dont miss coughing up gunk every morning either. I am much fitter and healthier all round. I eat more too, but not sure if this is a good thing

Those that make excuses dont want to give up plain and simples. Those that do get it done. Good luck to those that are trying and dont give up giving up, it DOES get easier.
