You can do it Di.....you just need a good reason, like impending poverty, or having children around you again, or even being told by someone you like that you smell of fags and your clothes smell like a ashtray.......worked for my son!!!

I dont smoke  and never will and i bet i die before the ones who smoke cause we have to breath it in

[Richie London]

i have been smoking since i was 13, 35 years, smoke between 10 and 40 a day. used to be more till the assoles got smoking banned from the pubs. and they are the ones who never go in the pub. so now most pubs are either always empty or closing down, because of the people who dont smoke who dont go in the pubs.

unfortunately i do and i hate it. i hate the taste, the smell, i hate not being able to run for 5 mins without being nackered. im barely on 10 a day but still... ive tried giving up, managed about 2 months, had major mood swings and gained like 2 stonne.
Started for the wrong reason as well (yes i was dumb enough to start cuz i liked at the time did it... i was young shhh) but yeh, would really love to jus quit

I cannot agree more, within a week of smoking ban in pubs my takings were down £1300 a week. and climbing.

my pub used to be packed solid, there is only 3 non smokers in there now. also brown put the duty up so much not many can afford to go out to the pubs now. he has totally killed the pub scene. 18 shut down here last year. i use the legion when i want to do a big session as its a quid a pint cheaper.

I was selling Carling at 99p a pint before I left, still people would not come in, they preferred to stay at home and smoke at will in the house. I gave in and cut my losses.
There is no-one selling fags here, I have 150 packs of GV but cannot sell them for love nor money, not that I care .

[g00ner]

I smoked fro 18 to 40, up to 40 a day

Gave up 18 months ago with the help of Niquitin Lozenges, only thing that did it for me - That and getting out of breath so fast playing footie with my boys

Do it, it's not easy as some say but the benefits are huge. I can run around with the lads, smell things I didn't notice before (herbs in the garden) and have a sense of taste back I didn't realise I'd lost.

Set a date, work towards it and put a good portion of the money you've saved aside and treat yourself - don't let it just disappear to other commitments ( I paid for my Ducati partly through doing this)

Be determined, but don't stop till you're ready. Good luck

ps You'll get fat  , but that comes oof

Did'ya see that, i did a gag

lucky strike's? i know they are nasty

[pscocoa]

I gave up 13 years ago after smoking Camel, B & H, and the strong stuff in tins from FOB restaurants, plus 7 years of cigars only.

Once decision made never touched any tobacco again.

If you are going to do it though then combine with taking up some physical activity eg walking, cycling.

Walking is pretty good at our age - choose good location etc but have a purpose.

[Del Boy]

Nope I don't, my eldest does which is a shame, neither me nor his mum do, youngest doesn't but he does flog them at school

smoking isnt good,it is bad for you of course it is. i love smoking. i love the taste of a fag. i love drinking and i love pubs. i wont let some assole who sits in doors 7 days a week,waiting for her hip replacement which my smoking caused , who doesnt smoke or drink herself tell me my lifestyle offends them.
