Hang on in there- you CAN do it. Wanting to is at least half the battle. Thirty years ago as a divorced, working mother my smoking had reached 30-40 per day following the breakdown of my marriage. Reality dawned when I realised that to pay my rent something had to go, so I stopped. It wasn't easy, horrible side effects including a cough as the nicotine came out of the throat lining etc! Need I say more! At the worst times I smoked tiny cigars that you couldn't inhale! I got over the need within a few months and haven't touched one since. There are some wonderful smells out there -big revelation! If I can do it anyone can! Very best of luck - Pat

Well done peter and wife and good luck i stopped 2 weeks ago today i feel so much better and i dont smell any more lol if its any help to you take a look at WHY QUIT dot com hope it gives you more determination to stop for life xx

Your a brave man Peter! and Mrs Peter. I wish I could do it. I'll be watching this thread so keep it up. You never know! I might join you. Good idea with the cocktail sticks. Gerri x

6hrs relaxed calm and still not had a fag I CAN AND I WILL

Good luck Peter, its hard but worth it Jo xx

I wish you Good Luck also Peter. I am still a smoker and desparatley want to give up. But keep on finding excuses. I did go 8 months without one two years ago. They say the more times you try, the more likely you are to succeed. I used the Patches, but found the Micro Tabs really good, when you get that really bad craving. Much better than the Lozengers or Gum. I have a supply of both Patches and Microtabs and will try to join you very soon. Is it this Wednesday the official No Smoking Day? Jenny.

good luck and keep going you will feel the benifits soon

Well done....very brave...wish i could give up. Good luck and keep it up Emma.x

Peter, good luck to you and your wife. One day at a time and use the money you save to treat yourselves! It really mounts up believe me! Daisy

Peter, Good luck to you and your wife. I quit 5 years ago after smoking for 46 years. It's hard but after 3 days it does begin to get a bit easier. Hang on in there. It will be worth it. Jean x.

Oh, well done Peter and wife!! Reading the threads will help too. You can do it!! Anne:)))

Good on yer Peter! My dad had to quit 2 years ago for health reasons after smoking for 50 years and much of it 40 a day. Just think of the money you will save, the health benefits and how much nicer you will smell!!! I only say that because my husband smokes and the smell is awful. Good luck Diane
