My Quit September 2013
My Quit September 2013 My name is Ian. I have been smoking since I was around 17 years old. I’m now 39 which makes it around 22 years I’ve smoked. I have smoked many things in those 22 years, but it was mainly tobacco, around 20-30 roll-ups per day. I’ve had always enjoyed smoking. I actually liked

The only real reminder that I smoked is this cough! It clears and cones back, clears and comes back! I still moving the brown crud

Is there an easier way to get Champix from the NHS than having to go through my registered GP?
I cannot always get time to visit my GP or stop smoking clinic at my GP's surgery. I had stopped previously with Champix and found it the best way for me to stop, I only had 4 weeks worth but this stopped me for almost 4 months, until the cravings returned just as strong as they were before... Patches

New Here
Hi everyone. I'm now in my second day of quitting and I'm finding it tough but not too bad. However i have been snacking on jaffa cakes and peanuts quite a lot though. I'm not a big fan of fruit so not sure what else i should snack on. I'm reasonably active as i play football and go to the gym occasionally

So,my back surgery is definitely going ahead tomorrow afternoon and to be honest I'm just a bit nervous now.Spoke to my surgeons Secretary on Friday (he was with her at the time) so I've told him that he can't have any cocktails tonight(!!!!) but actually forgot to say that I still wasn't smoking I guess

Now off NRT :-)
After what seems like forever, I'm now off any NRT. It's was one hell of a ride and I would feel a lot more happy about it if my anxiety was not such pain in the arse! But I'm back at work now, everyday gets just that little bit easier (only very little) and I'm looking forward to a smoke free and

Once you have reached your quit date...
1. DON’T SMOKE! 2. Remember the rule of N.O.P.E! Not One Puff Ever! 3. Ask people you live with not to smoke around you. Spend time with non-smokers. 4. Keep busy, stay active – try walking, exercising or doing other activities. 5. Drink lots of water. 6. Begin using the nicotine replacement

The sun has got his hat on
Well the sun has made an appearance lets hope the wind drops and I can get out for my daily walk, the exercise always helps to dislodge more phlegm for me which after a coughing fit actually makes me feel much better, going to concentrate on drinking more water today, too much alcohol consumed last few
