Giving up smoking...
- Thread starter ChrisD.
- Start date
Is there anyone that you know that won't let you smoke when you're with them, but that you have a good time with anyway? Stay with them for a few days and it'll be easier as you're not always thinking about bursting into flames and they wouldn't approve anyway.
i think it works by blocking the receptors in your brain to nicotine, so cigarettes taste like crap.
you keep smoking for the first week of taking it then give up but you find that as soon as you start taking it you put cigarettes out half smoked.
its v good.
worth a try. also it may seem expensive but its the same price as smoking 20 a day
I can get it for free as well. Well I had to go to a petrol station earlier and I didn't get the usual 20 on top of my petrol so that's good. Just need to keep this up. might try some of that stuff, but is there any point if I'm not smoking?
I don't see the difference between cocaine and smoking, except my missus smoking makes my clothes stink. I'd rather she did hard drugs.
Confused how people could get hooked on it though or why start in a first place. I do cigars occasionally for a laugh, man they hurt, but i'd never feel the need to have one again. I mean, it's smoke, you must have to be pretty persistant to get hooked on it, human nature i guess.
I tell the missus she's pathetic each time she says she 'needs' a fag, she literally goes into an anger fit. I find it unamusing how setting fire to ones face and lungs can be such a necessity to many peoples lives and im thankful the smoking ban arrived as i no longer get asthma attacks.

You could try giving her some support to quit...
Rubbish. It's not a heroin addiction that makes you physically ill when quitting. People quit everyday because they really want to.
It's a lot harder to quit then what you think, It's said to be worse then a heroin addiction. Great support you're offering her btw
If you don't understand the addiction the don't bother commenting on it, unless you've been hit by it then it is really hard to understand.
Worse than a heroin addiction? Your body literally shut's down when you stop, you have to fight you bodies survival instinct. Does smoking do that.
My grandad died from cancer from it, now my nan is too. I hate how people fall on the addiction crutch, when i've seen people all around me stop with just willpower.

Apples were my secret to quitting. I went from 20 smokes a day to 20 apples a day. Gives you heartburn for a while, but it sure works. Im still hooked on apples now, over 3 years later. 
Not everyone has the same level of willpower though. Some people find it easier to quit than others, that's just the way it is
