Here's hoping .....
Just got in from walking the dogs and the other half has made me a lovely bacon sandwich so eating that while typing this. Another beautiful day, still very cold (actually freezing is a better word) but dry and wonderfully bright. Clouds I saw this morning had a pink not silver lining and if I've managed

Nicotine Addiction ! Interesting article on why it is hard to stop AND why its worth it .
Nicotine tricks your brain by stimulating the reward pathways with a shot of dopamine, the hormone that tells us that things like food and sex are pleasurable. It also increases activity in the cholinergic pathways of the brain. These pathways are concentrated in the brain stem and are believed to be

Advice please
I have been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and know now that I have to stop smoking before treatment starts. My problem is that my husband smokes and I find it very difficult not to have a cig with him even though I do not enjoy them now. Has anyone been in the same position, how did you cope. thank

I sang in the car today (No 18)
The biggest thing I ever had was a spoon the size of York I had a knife that was larger than life But only had an ordinary fork. The amount of soup, I could shift in one scoop Was on record as being the most Acres of cheese I could spread with such ease But the fork was for baked beans on toast

2 weeks. Serious this time Huh
Well who'd o' thought it. I seem to be OK regarding the habitual aspects like rolling a fag as soon as I get in the car each morning. Having a roll up with my morning break and other key smoking rituals. Oddly enough, none of that is bothering me to much. This I can only assume is because I am still

Giving up Ecigs.
On the 14th. Nov. 2012 I switched from tobacco to Ecigs. Although I've smoked pretty heavily since 1976 I had no problem at all making the switch. I started off with the 26mg nicotine content and within a fortnight was on the 6mg version. I tried the zero nicotine, but they tasted foul! Although

'When the Urge to Smoke Hits, Think H.A.L.T.'..an article on About.com
Whilst looking for help on the web I came across this great site About.com. When the Urge to Smoke Hits, Think H.A.L.T. Quitting tobacco is a process. It doesn't happen overnight, but compared to the amount of time most of us spent smoking, recovery from nicotine addiction is relatively short

So I thought,"I know, I'll abuse my lungs for 44 years and see what happens".
I'll stop in the morning............ I coughed my way through another day Nicotine having it’s filthy way, For every fag smoked, I’m now having to pay. I’ll stop in the morning, I hear my head say. Well, I went down with such a terrible blight Could hardly breathe, try as I

Article in news about e-cigarette
Due to so much interest generated about the use of the e-cigarette, I thought it may be useful if I posted the following article that has recently been in the news. Although this product is still under review, there are quite a few of our members who have already stopped smoking through using one

Light smoking 'doubles sudden heart death risk in women'
The following article has been published in today's BBC News; Women who are light smokers - including those who smoke just one cigarette a day - double their chance of sudden death, a large study suggests. The research tracked the health of 101,000 US nurses over three decades. Light-to-moderate

3 weeks today
I managed to stop smoking tobacco for 3 weeks now. I started the process by using Champix which does work but did create a lot! of side effects such as really intense dreams, feeling a bit spaced out and an upset tummy. Not nauseous but not working properly. I stopped taking Champix about 3 days
