Nope...but hold fast and stick to it

It's only hard because there is such a fuss about it.

I decided last May that I could no longer afford my 40 year old habit so I stopped. Kept a pack of cigs in my drawer but never got a huge desire to tear the pack open.

I had some nicotine lozengers which helped.

Just DO IT.

Well done and good luck.

Hey, Cooksie! Good luck with it! I stopped ages ago, I did.

Continue with whatever you're doing to stay away from it. Get an e-*** if you get cravings. E-*** means you're still doing nicotine intake but not tar and other crap, so that should also be removed from your shopping list in future.

Good luck again, keep going without it.

I just threw out my tobacco and got a e-cig I am stressing as the thing needs charging first off haha!! Good luck with it! This is day 1 of trying for me!!!

A year past last November for me and I was like a chimney some days, If I can do it anyone can TBH.

Been on my E-cig for 3 months now, Wish I had done it earlier!
Its amazing how much better food tastes now, I also notice how bad people who smoke actually smell of it.

Chip

Yeah, they feckin stink don't they.

RA Dunk

Oddly enough this is something that still hasn't happened to me, apart from eating more (lots more) of it.

I use ones from No Match

I have the Triple Menthol 1.8mg liquid & is fine

Nicolites with tobacco flavour 16mg cartridges 200 puff a cartridge ! Have tried other flavours but just crave it more! So stuck with tobacco flavour so it makes you feel like you are smoking the real thing!

I smoked heavily I would say! Roll ups no filters and a lot!! Nearly done day 1 just on the e cig!!

JohnnyBlaze

I started on the nicolites but found a decent atomiser and battery combo works a lot better for me, it's just getting past the fact it's nothing like smoking a real cig, I started on the tab flavoured juice but now I'm trying other flavours and atomisers/clearomisers and all that jazz.

Day four today, temper seems a little less quick.

Joined the gym, so that will probably help also.

Snooky

I have just hit day 6!! I had a sh*t start to the day! Hart racing/ headaches n nausea/ dizziness !! Can't sleep and stressed out!! But still not giving in!

Anyone else struggling

LordG

USE CHAMPIX if you can still smoke after day 10 on them, then you have no chance, after day 7 on these tablets **** taste so grose its like your first *** as a teen everytime, they change the way pleasure receptors work in your brain, ask your doctor for them, they worked for me

I gave up 10 years ago this July, saved appx £26 a week = £ 13520. It does get easier, I used the patches for about 3 months then it was down to good old fashioned will power! good luck stick with it.

I'm a non smoker and I can't imagine how hard it really is to quit? Surely it's not that hard just to pack it in?

RA Dunk

It's actually very hard, it's an addiction remember.

Well day 9, and I've knocked the nicotine replacements on the head today as well. Definitely started to turn a corner, and I'm convinced I'm healthier already.

You a porker yet?

I gave up a year ago and it was one of the best life decisions I have made. I find hikes a lot easier, I've got into studying Judo due to feeling more "up for it", I can tase food better which, in my line of work, is of paramount importance. My skin looks a lot better (yeah yeah I know!) and I 'm sleeping better. Couldn 't imagine doing it again tbh.

Nope, also started a diet and joined the gym, lost nearly a stone since new year.

I do like to be all or nothing.

Packed in for 3 years and started again. The craving never leaves you
