Just been to visit my big sister tonight. She made me a cuppa and automatically put a ciggie in front of the mug. There it was staring at me asking to be smoked, OMG it looked so good.
Pleased to say I passed it back and let her know my smoking days were behind me. But it was a tough call......

Woohoo!!!!!....Well done Kas You should be feeling ever so proud of yourself It can be hard enough without having a ciggie right there for the taking, You truly ACED it and will face the next temptation even stronger xx
Hi mike, i was coughing all the time as a smoker and it seems to be almost gone now. It takes a while but it will slowly improve and your lungs will feel so much cleaner after a few weeks.
Can't understand people offering you cigs- maybe they still want you to be in their club- dig you heels in Mike and refuse.
People offer you cigarettes because it makes THEM feel better. My advice, graciously accept the cigarette & promptly flush it down the toilet. Then see if you get offered another. It's not worth one of their precious (& expensive) cigarettes unless it gives them the satisfaction of seeing you back enslaved just like them.
we have a little mantra we use around here NOPE Not One Puff Ever..sounds easy :D..but firmly planting that in your mind sure does help in those early days
