I gave up smoking about 5 years ago now.
One of the best decisions I ever made. I would urge you chaps to do the same, particularly if you have not been at it for too long.
Even if you have, it's never too late to make a difference. Your body is a wonderful thing.
You know it makes sense.
I gave up after New Years...and have now relapsed to one a day and a few more if I go out on the weekend. Even though I haven't fully given up I'm feeling a lot healthier...
Gave up smoking over 30 years ago. Body great shape. Brain?
just started smoking , stress is hell in the real world so i smoke a joint once in awile.
i notice if i am engrossed in tv, reading a good book or playing a very good game on my pc that i do ont smoke as much. it does make you wonder if stress and boredom does lead to a lot smoking. i use to smoke 20 a day, now it be 6 or 7, if that.

i don't smoke personally, but my mother gave up smoking about 2 years ago, and the improvement in her fitness has been great. The long term benefits should be even more important.Quote:

I managed to quit gambling, drink (I do it through choice as apposed to need now) and cocaine but I still cant quit the fags.
Any advice JP?
What I did Nam. I carried a sealed packet around with me. I promised myself never to open the seal. I did not open it. I gave that packet away after a short while. Never smoked since. Over thirty years. :)
I think smokings great, it kills all of the dickheads of the world for us
i have smoked since i was 15, and it been for 15 years now. The fact of the matter is we are all going to die and you can never have smoked, drunk a pint and so on, and still die before someone who smokes. Most people have a bad habit or vice, mine is smoking. My great grandfather boozed and smoked and lived till he was 89, his cousin who was fit as a fiddle and had never smoked or drunk died when he was 62, that was 20 years before him.
Then i shall be leaving you shortly ;)Quote:

I also spoke to my friends and made them promise that they would never give me a fag, no matter what I said to them. It's really easy to smoke if your pals will still give you a cigarette. So not buying them doesn't really work on it's own, you must make the commitment.
I was an absolute bag of shite for a wee while and abused some people who looked after me. They stuck to their promise, no matter the provocation. I had some really good mates who took me at my word.
I apologized many, many times. I really was a prick, but they accepted that and we got over it.
I now simply avoid getting drunk in a situation where fags are available. I have accepted that I am an addict and this is the way I deal with it.
I can now go on the pish with people who will not give me a fag, no matter what I say. I can also take apple in large quantities at home. I do not go drinking with chaps who would like to see me fail.
It is up to everyone to find a strategy that works for them.
Actually it's more than that (especially with my avatar).Quote:

I was wondering when or even if a mod would notice. :D
You're a good mod. "Another mod" just removed my picture and left the words :blink: , but no big deal.
