I wish I could forget it - My memory is shocking, but I always remember to spark up when I have a brew in me hand.

You will only stop if YOU want to stop, cutting down etc is a reason to continue

Make your mind up and STOP its willpower thats needed , I did it 34 years ago and have not had one since

Its a habit , change your routine , When you want a smoke , do the wasing up , do the dusting , take the dog for a walk , get the vacuum out , paint the celing anything to take your mind off it , Once the habit is broken and you dont want a fag after your dinner , a pint , a snack , then its easy

All the crap that they sell you to help stop smoking is good for the industry , they make billions out of you and they hope you dont stop so you can keep buying the crap they sell you , Win Win for the big companys

YOU need to decide " Thats it I HAVE stopped smoking " then you WIN WIN , no more paying for fags , NO more paying for wonder cures , And your lungs have a chance to recover

I know you mean well ... but that's just the kind of speech that stopped me giving up for decades.

Must have heard it a thousand times in various forms and every time I heard it I reached for my baccy and papers.

Imo vapers are living each minute wishing they were smoking a fag , just saying

In my case - not in the slightest.

I did try a roll up a few months back, got less than half way through and had to bin it ... tasted vile.

... and that's from someone who smoked tabs for 55 years (and loved it...)

That's the thing for me with smoking. Did it taste anything other than vile the very FIRST time you tried it? Think about it... Back then, your taste buds were as unaccustomed (probably more so) to the taste of cigarettes, as they were at the point where you've just stated it tasted vile, after having given it up for so long.

I don't know anyone, when they took their first draw of a cigarette, behind the bike sheds at school, at a party, or wherever it was, who said: 'Oh my, that tastes gorgeous!'

I certainly didn't - it tasted VILE, which is why I stopped there and then, and didn't develop it into a habit. And I was never one for succumbing to peer pressure. The fact is, it ONLY tastes good once you've become accustomed to the taste, and then hooked on the drug.

The trick, therefore, is to stop at the first stage of it tasting vile, just like you would with anything else you hated the taste of!

Same thing with beer. As a kid, I never liked the taste and couldn't figure out why adults liked it.

Only someone who's never smoked thinks that's how it is.

I still think like that about booze ! Yuk

I gave up 7 or 8 years ago using the Allen Carr Easy Method (not the comedian Alan Carr). It is a mix of CBT and NLP. I never touched a fag again and was up to 40 a day.

It’s not for everyone but you don’t need will power and if it doesn’t work you get your money back. You have to be ready to give up though.

I think you're confusing tobacco with cabbage
