The last 3/4/5/6 (I've lost count) times I've given up I usually find that once I get past the first 2 days I'm fine... well apart from wanting to kill anyone who says hola to me

I say good on you and go for it (I'm actually thinking of giving up again soon as well )

Im attempting to stop smoking during the day (10 a day man), eg when at work, as a wee starter.

Doing quite well, as I no longer smoke at work, so thats 5 less already.
The rest go in my hand rolled entertianment at night, which I cant give up for love nor money!!

Yeh i've lost count too. Just trying to think of the money we'll save and more importantly for the kids, always badgering us to give up.

Gave up for new years - first few days were "intersting" (wifey didn't give up till a month later), then seemed to get easier and easier. Used to smoke an ounce of baccy a week, went cold turkey (i believe the patches etc make it harder).

Determined to do it this time, and the "dont need a ***" dendrites have certainly taken over now!

I think one of the hardest parts of giving up the smokes is when ur out in the pub... pint in one hand and oh how did that get in the other

It's even worse when you suddenly realise you're now buying 2 pints, one smoke in the gob along with 2 straws

I love the irony in this statement!

Choking FOR a smoke, but not choking because of them, unlike the rest of us!

7 years for me now.
Stick with it and don't for a second believe you can have just one.
You either smoke, or you don't it doesn't matter if the last one was 5 minutes ago or three weeks ago I really do believe it's all or nothing on this one.
Good luck
