And decided it was the perfect day to give up smoking - after all you can't smoke with a big gaping hole in your gum can you?! Using patches and the inhalator - feeling good so far but have smoked 10-15 a day for the past 20 years and apart from 2 pregnancies have never managed to give up:mad:
Now fulfiling a promise to my father-in-law who has just been diagnosed with throat and lung cancer at the very young age of 62
Feeling very positive today, and quite excited about the challenge ahead, although I'm sure that may change soon x

Ouch on the wisdom tooth, but well done on your decision to quit smoking, and what a very approriate day to do it.
You've listed some very relevant reasons for stopping, isn't it funny how we stop smoking through pregnancy, I don't remember it being a hastle at all? Stay strong mentally with all your reasons firmly imbedded, take it one day at a time and success will be yours.
Now go swill with some salt water and put your feet up.
Thanks all - I agree that having your tooth out is quite a drastic way of getting me to quit, but as I didn't have any choice in the matter I though I'd go with the flow!
Now puffing away on my inhalator like a good 'un, but only one one side of my mouth as the other is all numb still!!
