Aww Clare, it must be awful. Having never smoked I can't say how awful, but I understand it's not easy. If cold turkey doesn't work, try cutting down slowly, i.e 20/ day to 19 / day for a week...cut down the ration on a weekly basis...would that work? You conscience wouldn't let you slip back to 20/day, it would have been a waste of effort if you did. I wish you loads of luck, you obviously want to give up....just think...perfume will smell much better without being tainted. All the best. Tina x |

There is no easy way, I'm afraid, but first of all you really must want to give up. I stopped about 8 years ago. The cold turkey lasted a couple of weeks, and in a way that was the easy bit. The hardest thing after that was wanting to smoke whilst having a drink. Good luck. |

Ta Clare. I'm OK tho. Still full of life and can walk about 5 miles since lost over 2 stone with diabetes in 2002 WARNING Anyone using nicotine patches, chewing gum etc etc AND also continuing to smoke is really putting themselves at risk. There were some articles in papers a couple of years back warning that such a mix put people more at risk of heart attack/stroke. |
