So I quit yesterday... joined the forum today. I've tried to quit several times before, never with any success. This time I'm trying out the Inhalator for the first time, after totally failing with patches last time. Today, being out walking my dog and walking past the newsagent... it was hard to resist the temptation to just go in and buy a pack. But I managed to avoid it this time.
I'm trying not to think too far ahead. Just.. "Let's see if I can stay smoke-free today" and worry about tomorrow tomorrow.

Hey Lewis! Good for you. It's good to hear the positivity in your attitude towards smoking and taking each day as it comes. I've reached Week 11 on Champix and it's no miracle cure, but I've found it has been the best option for me. I tried the nicotine therapies, every one of them, but found that I got addicted to them for some 2-3 years! This kind of defeated the object for me, BUT everything works different for different people and so, sincerely, GOOD LUCK MATE AND KNOCK THE CIGGIES DEAD!!!
Hey Lewis thats good news mate, i stopped smoking using the inhalator i found it better being in control of when i wanted a nicotine fix as opposed to other NRTs, i used the inhaler for 3 weeks and just decided not to bother since, i just left it at home, im now on day 43 and feeling brill, stick with it buddy its well worth it, i WAS a very heavy smoker for 26 years and im loving my new life
Hi Lewis, Welcome to the forum & well done for making the decision to quit. Just imagine how good you will feel every time you manage (even with gritted teeth sometimes!!) to walk past the cigarette counter without parting with your hard earned money! 'Tis a lovely feeling when you get used to it, laugh in the face of danger LOL. I have been smoking for 34 years, longer if I am honest but at the age of (A young LOL) 48 face the onset of serious health problems. You know the ones - that only happen to other people? Well bu**er me they don't!!!! You are well on the way to becoming a non-smoker. Kepp it up. Everyone here will help you. XXX
