my lass stopped when we got together, didnt take much doing for her

that was 14 months ago now, still has the odd urge to have 1 but she says every1 does

I was smoking about 20 a day...I just cut down till i was havin 2 a day ...took ages to get down that far but was well easy to give up for good when your used to just 2 a day... ;)

if you can make it through the first week mate then your laughing.it will be harder with the missus still smoking.it's alot easier if you can get away from ciggys alltogether:thumbs:

do it, dont give up on giving up fags. you'll feel like the king x 29342 once you get over the hill and have no more cravings.

again, good luck :) :thumbs: :wave:

sure is ...................
i'll wait and see how I go ..if ok then i'll start the moaning at her.............

yeah I enjoyed it FAR too much when i was a smoker, I still get a slight crave after a few pints and think 'hmm i really fancy a cig'.

could always get harsh with her, say stuff like she wont be able to see her son grow up and stuff, that is ultra harsh but its true :/ No one wants to see anyone die before they have to, my nan died at 61 cause of cancer, she had YEARS infront of her but chose to smoke. bit shitty eh.

too right....

talking £250 a month for 2 of us.............:mad::(

doesn't bother her though...............she enjoys it too much she says.............:mad:

finding something else to do on your breaks is quite hard

and make sure you dont smoke when your pissed coz thats a pain in the arse coz u dont give a shit when you've had a few beers

smokey pubs are always a good place to avoid when you are quitting :thumbs:

bummer that Square..bet u r right annoyed.............
Don't know how my will power will be.............:(

I stoped about a year and 8 months ago, I did it when I got with my last girlfriend (who is now my ex).

I think its going to be pretty fucking hard to quit if your missus is still smoking, its going to suck so I suggest both of you stopping at the same time.

I was only 17 when I stopped, but I had been smoking for two years. I was smoking 10 a day on college days then 20 a day on weekends/days off.

How I stopped was pretty simple, I just stopped -- end of. It was hard being round friends at break times when we normally smoked but I got away with it and also my girlfriend kept me busy. After a few months of not smoking it got much better, even though I fell ill alot in the first four months of stopping.

No patches, no sneaky 'one fag aday' bollocks, just stopped. If you really want to do it you can, just got to keep yourself busy.

Glad I did it now, good luck.

i found the best thing for me was to just not buy any :lol:

cheers...........

Got 2 apples and orange and some grapes to eat on my breaks at work....:thumbs:

im in the same boat mate :(

ive been a right stoner for the past few years + me + all my mates have decided to quit. i hadnt had 1 for 5 days til today. went on a training course + i had a while to wait for my train so i went & bought some cigs :mad: im sooooo angry with myself :(


you can do it :thumbs:

smoke chronic instead??

just think of the new adverts, there enuff to put any1 off surely

just try to keep yourself occupied with other things

Right had my last fag at 21:30 now got a patch on.............this is the 1st time I have really tried to stop............

I'm at work so will see how i go not havin a fag on my breaks.....

Going to put the cash I save IF i manage to stop to good use...modding the veccy more..

Missus is still smoking though.........but Me alone should save about £30 per week..so £120 a month not bad..

Any advice from peeps that have stopped...

NEED encouragement to ppl:(
