Smoking ............... No more.

Can't understand why anyone would smoke. Filthy expensive habit that ruins your health and makes you smell like an ashtray. Yuk.

I agree and as an ex smoker understand where the smokers are.

I also dont get why people drink stupid amounts of beer, bloated with a huge beer gut, hangover and breath of a 1000 sewers leaves me speechless, apart from the cost.

Each to their own, but if some one wants to change, i think they should be supported with words of encouragement.

Unfortunately we are not all perfect.

The mind of a fun loving and adventurous teenager is rarely rational.

People do silly things because their friends also do silly things.

People who are unhappy, depressed or highly stressed for whatever reason do not think rationally.

Just some of many reasons why those of us who are less than perfect allow ourselves to get caught in a trap of using fags, drugs, drink, food or other potentially damaging crutches to get us through life and struggle to break out of bad habits.

I have not had a cigarette now for 7 days and i have to say its driving me f***ing mental now cycling is getting better though i seem to have a lot more lung capacity already that's the only thing that's keeping me from having one. Tis bloomin hard though lol

Your over the worst bit matey,chemical addiction is really fackin bad for the first 3/4 days. After that it's a really strong habit which is just as bad cos it catches you out man

Well done monkeylc.
Somehow, I stopped two and a half years ago. The best day, a long time later, was when I realised that I didn't miss them and didn't even think about them. It felt like freedom. If I could, you can.

4 weeks today for me first 2 weeks used Green Smoke electronic cigarette and now nothing for the last 2 weeks. Certainly noticing the increased lung capacity just need to stop bloody eating now !

Well done y'all. Came to this one late and reading your first post Monkey reminded me...I felt like crap for a week, really really struggled and HAD to keep myself ultra busy, just to try to take my mind off a ciggie, 2nd week was bad, but not as bad, then it just came easy'ish.
16 months on....I still get a craving, not bad, but just like I think a cig would be nice.

On a slightly different note, I went to the shops the other day and the wife asked if i'd bring a couple packets of cigs back for her...NEARLY £16...SIXTEEN QUID ...bloomin eck
