Thank you Star. As I have said to you I would never be able to give it up as I've never had the desire but when you can't breathe it frightened me so much I decided that the time had come to be strong ;D ;D

Odd really as all the medical things I have had nothing has made me want to stop as I really did enjoy smoking and as I sit here with my glass of wine what wouldn't I give for a f*g ;D ;D ;D

try swapping the 24 hr ones for the 18 hr ones, after all even I never smoked whilst asleep! and That lets your levels rise and fall, making it easier to stop??

Hi Tony. I had to pack it in cos I couldn't breathe. I now have to use 2 inhalers cos I now have COPD through smoking. I wish that I had stopped when I was younger.Trouble was that when I started in the early sixties it was the norm. Leave school and start smoking. Almost everyone did it. When you get all of these rotten symptoms just think that your body has to undo all the damage that the ciggies have done. Are you saving the money you would have spent. Thats a good incentive

Thanks Tony, think I will phone up tomorrow and see if they will give me some of the 18 hour ones.

Shirl sorry to hear you have COPD, will it ever get better or do you stay at the level you are now with your breathing?

Keep it up Tony, it's well worth it. I gave it up in May 1986 after about 25 years of increasingly heavy smoking. Tried weaning myself off ciggies by smoking small cigars instead, but decided to give up when I got to 40 a day of those and my son, then aged 6, started putting home-made no smoking signs all over the house! The first few weeks were murder, but I've never regretted it.

I used to smoke DRUM, free from a mate who works offshore! It's costing more to give up than it did to smoke! ;D ;D ;D
but it's only for a few weeks 'til I get off these patches as well ;)

I don't know if it will ever go away completely but the inhalers do prevent an onset of asthma and I have a blue one that I carry around just in case. Bonfires on the plot are a bit of a nuisance. If someone lights one I just go home. Good job its only allowed from Oct to March. Some have started having barbeques on the site now. They are ok if they light them properly, its just when they look like they are sending smoke signals. I don't complain cos it's me own fault that I have the problem. My 2 grandaughters have started smoking and I dread to think how it will affect them. Nothing I say will make them stop. Just hope they see sense in time. Best of luck with your efforts Sinbad

I stopped pipe smoking after over 40 years and know how difficult it is(2years 2 months!) I cleared out my garage this week and found 7 packets of "St Bruno", heading for the compost heap I think! Although don`t want to choke the worms........ ;D ;D

Tone you must be touching the 60 mark. :o ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Shirl. I can imagine how you must feel over your granddaughters smoking, but guess if we had listened to anyone when we were young we wouldn't be where we are now. I wonder why when you're young you never listen to anyone.

Well done Forestone and LLb, hope I can say the same as you this time next year.

This morning was a real struggle I woke up wanting a cigarette :(
