All I have to do now is figure out how to cut down the vaping :scratch:.

yeah, i vape on and off now. but didnt when i stopped. i took it up about 4/5 yrs later lol. i like the menthol stuff as it clears my tubes.
i think it might help but i think the cigarette ones are best. not too strong and you can open them and top them up with liquid saving money

Ok, so hopefully if I get through next week I'll be over the worst, but after almost 50 years I'm expecting my mind to be using a few tricks to trip me up. Like you, I want to do it cold turkey, I don't want to go down the vaping route.

My brother gave up 20 years ago after going to a seminar by a bloke called Allen Carr (not the "comedian"), and hasn't smoked since. Ironically, Allen Carr has since died of lung cancer I heard.

you will still get urges, especially at times of stress, but they will fade

Thanks guys, it's good to hear from others who have gone through same stuff and come out the other side :)

One thing I'm trying (although I've not told Mrs. P yet) is putting away £20 each week into a "hifi" tin, which I'm hoping will give me some incentive. I may have cheated a bit, I've already got 40 quid in it, and I only quit on Thursday ;)

try keeping busy and sleeping. less chance of thinkng about it.. youll get there if you want to. i smoked 60 a day for near 40 yrs

About time. Sick of paying for total crap I never watch. 'Inside The Factory' was the last straw. Everything wrong with the BBC summed up in one programme.

''The BBC has already made substantial cost savings behind the scenes, meaning the next round of cuts are likely to hit on-air services.''

Must think we were born yesterday. If it didn't affect on air services why were they spending money on it in the first place?
