Started when i was 14 when back then it was cool to smoke & everybody else did it or tried it back in the early 90's, I've packed in a couple of times over the years just by going cold turkey, but always started again for one reason or another.
I'm now 39 and now feeling the effects of what smoking is doing to me mainly breathing, so now while there is still time before any permanent damage is done I'm going to pack in for good.
Also cost is another factor I'm spending around £17 per day on cigs, I don't smoke 40 a day but don't like to run out hence why i always buy 40 when i go to the shops, that money I spend on cigs can be put to much better use.
I think this day & age kids are more sensible and more aware of the dangers of smoking none of the younger members of my family smoke or have they ever tried it, the only kids you see smoking these days are those that are from a under privileged background mostly.
My girlfriend also smokes she same age of me and between us we are spending over £300 a month on cigs, she says it hard for her to pack in because her job as a Manager is to stressful, so trying to push her to go onto ecigs while I shall try and go cold turkey again next week.
I've mentioned that the money we save every month by not smoking could buy us a new fitted kitchen within 3 to 4 months, so the incentive is there to pack in as we aim for something nice with the money we save.
