my reasons

[nsd_user663_5386]

Hello everyone this is my first post

the reason I decided to quit was I had run out of tobacco and cheap cigarettes so I had to buy some from the shop

I bought 60 cigs and it cost almost £15 I then sat working at my computer and before I knew it I had smoked 40 cigs I was like omg no way !!

so I decided for the first time in over 30 years to stop smoking not for health reasons but for financial reasons

Welcome Dee

Its the best thing you can do for yourself. just take things a day at a time the first few days are the worse but things start to get much easyer really soon. i smoked over 40 a day for 33 years So it can be done now I think how the hell did I spend a tenner a day on Bloody Fags.xxxxxxx

Hi Dee,

Well all I can say is that cost is as valid a reason as any to stop! Its not the main reason for me (I want to plan a family) but its a definate benefit. I worked out that already with me being on Day 8 of my quit that i have saved at least £42 and thats not including when I double and triple up at the weekends!!! Make sure you set your heart on something special to spend that cig money on as incentive - I'm getting my teeth whitened and am off for a spa weekend with the girlies soon!!!

Good luck with quit Dee

Hi Dee and welcome to the forum.

There are so many excellent reasons for quitting (and so few for carrying on smoking) and the money you will save is certainly one of them. Money can be a huge motivator.

But it will also be essential that you want to stop smoking. That this is an active choice you are making. That you continue to choose not to smoke.

Read all you can about the addiction, and you will be better prepared to fight it.

Blessing in disguise

Quitting for financial reasons is most often like you have no other choice. It's a true blessing in disguise.
