I gave up 3 years ago on Monday (not that I'm counting the days or anything!) after 16 years of smoking.

I still crave a roll-up now and again but damn glad I gave up - plus it's so damn expensive to smoke now!! 8O

Cheers
Andy

:clap: all the best giving up ben! I managed 5 weeks once… don't have the frame of mind at the moment to try giving up again

maybe next year  :roll:

goof luck mate!! im planning to do it as a new years resolution!

best of luck,its worth checking out Allen Carrs 'the only way to give up smoking'. theres some really helpfull ideas in there.
I put the money i saved towards my gti!

Good luck with it. I gave up about five years ago now so it can be done, even by an idiot like me.

If the will is there the way will follow.

Good luck to you!

Tian :wink:

cheers for the support guys im on my forth day and im dying today seem to have aquired some nasty bug that or my bodys going into shut down due to lack of nicotine    

could be a long day ive got so much to do my campaign sounds like its got a charger fitted to it think the alternater or waterpump bearings have gone

my cab need to the new upgraded 20vt mount fitting

and im about as enthusiastic as a slug    

Keep it up!!

Stay busy!  They say the nicotine only stays in your bloodstream for three days, so your past the worst bit.  All down to will power now.

Good luck

i gave up just over two months ago and its the best thing i have ever done!!! the money i have saved has gone towards my new wilwood brake kit for my cabby!
i took the easy option in quiting though, i got hipnotized!! (i think thats how you spell it) and since then i havent had a craving at all but its the habit you have got to break not the craving.
keep it up man its the best thing you will ever do!!
i have just found out too my missus is having our first baby!!!!! so i gave up in time really!!!!
keep it up mate

Nice one!, its a while since I gave up , 9yrs ago now when
my first Daughter was born.

I was on 45 + a day at 25 yrs old  8O

After a while you wont even think about it anymore :wink:

Keep it up mate.

Best Regards

I packed up 6 days ago after 10 years and am up and down. sometimes could murder one and sometimes don't think about it. Not using patches or anything just will power. Really worried about next weekend. My Girlfriend is flying out to see me and she smokes so really gotta try not too when she's around especially if we're drinking and after you know what.
It's a bit easier out here as you're not allowed to smoke in public places, Think this is coming in to the UK in June (correct me if I'm wrong).

I think it's fantastic, even when I smoked it's so nice to be able to wear decent clothes and not have to worry about someone brushing against you and burning them or everything smelling of smoke.
What are people opinions on this??

Sorry to hijack this post.. Are you still a non smoker?? Have you got any tips for me??

i did really well i gave up for 5 days which wasnt to hard to be honest but after the 5th day i was really un well so started smoking again

next time i know it wont be so hard to give up i know what to expect now so going to try again in a few weeks once the stress of work has calmed down abit      

My other half was working for an advertising firm last year and had the opportunity to go on the Wright Stuff (Channel 5) to take part in an experiment.  Four people drew straws on set to find out which method they would use: Reading the Alan Carr book, patches, hypnotherapy and going cold turkey.  They returned to the show 2 weeks later and the girl who went cold turkey (quitting naturally) lasted 1 day, the guy who read the book still hadn't smoked and the other girl who had the patches lasted 5 days.  My missus was hypnotized and didn't smoke for 6 weeks.  She had never been hypnotized before and was a bit reluctant.  Afterwards, she couldn't quite work out why she didn't want to smoke.  She still had cravings for something but her mind was telling her it wasn't cigarettes.  So she ended up putting a stone on!

Anyways, there's no moral to the story.  Best thing to do is to try a few different methods until you find one that suits you.  
Before I tried to give up, I bought a load of food from Sainsbury's, bought and hired a few PS2 games and DVDs and locked myself in the house for 3 days.  Didn't smoke for 3 months after that - neither did I touch my PS2 again.

I think if you can get past six months your well over the worst of it.Its a really nasty addiction smoking and as danny says one method will work for you.(for me it was nicotine patches and promissing myself a mint mk1 if i lasted a year)good luck

good luck mate! trying to do the social smoker thing…
like a bear with a sore head! them inhalators work for me, but like been said its a personal thing….
go through a lot of emotions in one day, grumpy, giggly then horney :?
my mate stopped smoking and ate carrots, lots of carrots, he turned orange but good kid tho….
keep it up mate!
