i went from tuesday to thursday night with out touching a single smoke when i snapped and had a roll up and later on a normal fag then went to bed.

i went through untill 9pm on friday with out touching a single smoke during the day and made one that lasted for about 3 hours (sparking up a few draws then out)

so that has been my whole week constantly gasping for nicotine.... and now im smoking roll ups.

when i made my first one in nearly a week i couldnt actually smoke it cept for a few draws it made me feel ill and at the moment i could smoke a tanker full....

how the hell do people stop smoking?
 
meh i only snapped on thursday night due to nag nag nag from certain people in my house :P

more nagging is imminent then theres the job center on tuesday = more nagging think ill attempt to stop on wednesday although this attempt has been my best one so far :(

Just don't put any fags in your mouth, it's that simple! It's what I did after 25 years of smoking and it worked a treat without any of those nancy boy patches and/or gum!
 
i used gum on the first day then started using lozenges.

on the thursday i only took 2 lozenges the whole day (was up early) and i was extremely easy to annoy.

im usually pretty hard to get annoyed :(

i found my self shouting a lot and getting annoyed at the slightest of things that wouldn't bother me usually.

i was trying to avoid me getting hooked on the stop smoking aid crap by limiting my nicotine intake and then i got nagged...

Everyone I've ever known who tried the gum ended up with excessive gas.
I also know a few people who just simply woke up one morning and decided to stop and it worked (I was one, pity I gave in when I started socialising again in pubs ages ago.)

Rollies are the worst out of the bunch, especially if you don't use filters on them, all that raw smoke...
(says the guy just about to light up a raw rollup..)
 
Patches worked for me, and cold turkey worked for the wife. A couple of work mates tried champix on nhs and were amazed by it.

Moneys a good motivator too....20 a day is £140 (ish) a month so 2 months with no cigys equals nice upgrade for pc :)
 
im on the dole (should i say that on this forum:eek: ) so not massive savings gonna be gained for pc upgrades but cold turkey might work for me.

the last time i tried cold turkey was when i was playing diablo 2 and for some reason i got through a whole day with out smoking.

im getting a urge to play that again with a new hammerdin might try cold turkey :)
 
Get yourself some of those strawberry "Cubba-Chups" lollipops (or whatever ones are your favourite), they'll help a lot. They give your 'smoking hand' something to do whilst at the same time give you feeling of having the fag between your lips.
 
ah cheers i know exactly what you mean by smoking hand when ive been drinking during the week i had one hand on a pint and the other automatically reached out to where the ash try is..... and then i had to mentally think and go wtf is my hand doing lol

my right hand just auto reached for a smoke while theres no smokes there lol

That's the wrong way about anything. You either stop now or you don't stop at all. Other wise it will get to wednesday and you'll delay it another day "Thursdays a better day to stop" and nothing happens. It's will power and will power alone i'm afraid!

My wench gave up smoking recently, she used one of the nicotine inhalers (as you can take as much as you want). She couldn't use patches or gum as it made her throw up.
 
I just stopped smoking after 6 years of about 10-20 a day.

All it takes is a bit of willpower.

Then six months later I decided to start again, then after a month got fed up of it and stopped again.
