Ive tried a few times, but sadly, Chewy didnt have the will power to give up as well, which made it really hard for me.
As such im back smoking again, and wishing i hadnt.
Being Hooked on Smoking is No Fun.

smoking is one of the hardest things to give up. i know i've tried and not been very successful. although many years ago i did give it up for 2 years and then i was stupid to believe that i could become a social smoker. smoking is like drinking if you give it up don't go back to it, now i am suffering as i can't give up. but with everyone giving up (and yes i agree with all the health issuses) taxes have to come from somewhere. will it be the car as we already see or the booze. what do you think.
magic u cant blame chewy for u not giving up smoking as i cant blame ade .you just gotta admit u got no wil power.the only thing u can do it not stop trying
i'm a smoker, and they have just made my work place completly non smoking which makes it really hard for everyone to scive off for a bit, never seen so many people trying to find things to do.
I used to smoke and have every sympathy with you all who are trying to give up. It was one of the hardest things I ever did - that and watching the Eastenders omnibus with my Nan, who is sadly no longer with us. She'd not dead - I just couldn't stand the EE omnibus, so I had her sent to an Old Folks Home!
Ok ex-smokers, I'm also trying to give up at the moment and I'm currently trying the "cut down to 5 or 6 a day" method then quitting entirely. Does anyone think are better ways to give up? What worked for you guys that managed to break the habit? I mean I have read that Nicotine is as addictive as Heroin or Crack Cocaine, so it's not gonna be the easiest thing to do!! But hey, I'm getting married soon and don't want my wedding photos to show me with a fag in my hand! Any advice welcomed!
"It doesn't make sense, they pay a guy like you to watch sharks?"
"Well, it doesn't make sense for a guy that hates water to live on an island."
"It's only an island if you look at from the water."
"Now that makes a lot of sense."
You could start smoking a pipe, they look far more classy in the wedding photos. lol
i gave up smoking in 2004 but sadly i only lasted for 9 months, i was doing exams and got very stressed out
the best thing i used was the nicotine patches that stay on for 24 hours.
i am still smoking unfortunately but am planning on quitting again soon, but not while i'm still feeling the way i am lol need to feel positive from the start to have the will power to quit.
im enjoy a smoke ,im a light smoker prob have 2 in the evening , but smoke more if i go out drinking gonna have to try soon before the ban comes in the pubs and community :)
