Can I go back to NHS for the stop smoking meds after i quit with them and started again! sad I know :(
I quit smoking in March and did three months pretty much smoke free by using the meds from the NHS. I did have the odd one at the start but when I did it wasn't nice, the meds were great at stopping the cravings but there were those times that I couldn't get out of the habit. I also experienced depression

Day 2 of the rollercoaster ride that is quitting smoking!
Hullo! I was watching an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer on Thursday evening- an episode where Willow totally hits rock bottom and realises shes got a magic problem. Watching her realise, and begging for help was when I realised something I already knew- that I was more than addicted I was obsessed

Why do I have tingling in my hands?
Smoking reduces your circulation. After two weeks, your circulation begins to return to normal and your hands and feet receive more oxygen. This tingling really is a positive message that your body is recovering.
