Not really used to hide in the bathroom with the extractor on..that was the only room i ever smoked in,,,also used to burn a candle to cut the smell
Well done!!!!!!!
When I was smoking I could not mow the lawn without very regular breaks for getting breath back, ...... that was three years ago, despite having COPD since stopping smoking I am still much less breathless than I was those three years ago,.... mow the large lawn in one (slightly slow) go... well last Summer .... not tried yet as so wet !
Not smoking is the BEST thing you can do ...... stick with it and enjoy the air!!
All the best

Congratulations.
Thanks for posting that id2409, You give me inspiration. I am only on my 8th day of quitting cigarettes and look forward to being able to do a bit of gardening in a few short weeks. Surely the weather will have improved by then.
You have done really well. I too can see how much better I am for stopping, despite the COPD. I hate the smell now too.

There must be something sadly wrong with me because in spite of not touching a cigarette since last May I dont dislike the smell of smoke> Stale smoke is not that pleasant but there are far worse smells eg:BO and strong perfume
Well done id2409 quitting is not easy but your blog on here has given some encouragement to teabag 333 (well done to you too).
Thats what this blog is all about.
