Clare, it must be hard. I've never smoked so don't know what you are going through. I know my grandad struggled with them. My dad just decided to give up one day when I was very little and just gave up. However, I know that most people cannot do this. My aunt (his sister) has tried numerous times and still smokes. Do you usually smoke at certain times? eg when you have a cup of tea/coffee during a certain TV programme. You may need to change your habits so that you're not tempted to smoke. |

Sue, your really good cutting down like that, but I wont buy 10s as they work out more expensive that way!!! Mad isnt it?? Leslie, I would love to save that much, and the amount they cost I could probably go on a carribean holiday!!! lol x Its that advert with the hooks....its just so true... |

Have you tried reading Alan Carrs book the easy way (to give up smoking) I have to confess after a year off I always return to the cigs but that has been the only thing has ever worked for me all 6 or 7 times I have managed it lol. Also I made sure for the first few weeks I had really strong horrid tasting sweets in my bag that burnt my throat and for some odd reason I found that helped. Good luck xx |

I am down to about 6 a day and only buy 10's I write on the pack what time I opened them and space them out,it's hard but I will get there. Keep going, don't give up on giving up as the saying goes. Sue x |

Sit down and think really hard about how life would be for them if they didn't have you around/or you in very poor health. Spend some time doing this. (sorry - that's all I could think of unless you emigrate to somewhere where cigarettes don't exist ie the moon lol) Good luck. I hope you succeed. :-) |
