    I'm 2 weeks free, I'm doing cold turkey.

    I was a 30 ciggs a day man up to 2 weeks ago. Tried them all. I smoked on the patch.

    Wish me luck

    I'll keep you posted

    2 weeks isnt a long time your body wasnt designed to need them anyway so don't feel to good about yourself, positive thinking like that will hit a depression and you'll be back on them in no time.

    Good lad, you've a head start on everyone else for the ban.

    ** Under no circumstances have 'just one' for the first six months or so **

    'Just one' can so easily turn into 'just two', then 'just one pack'.... then back on that slippery slope. Make sure friends and family know you're giving up, so they might make an effort not to smoke in front of you (unless of course they're the type to deliberately smoke in front of you to remove the urine).

    nice work! not a bad achievement considering most smokers cant go 15 mintues without smoking or killing a nearby houseplant. to actually give up smoking (espcially after your previous daily count) is an incredible feat.

    "I smoked on the patch. "

    Call me old fashioned but I thought you're supposed to stick them on your arm;)

    Gonna give cold turkey a try by the 29th too. Good a day as any. Might give the allen carr book a go, though I'm very sceptical that a book can counteract a total lack of will power on my part. My other problem besides willpower is that I work in a newsagents and temptation is about 6 inches behind me! :D Not a good sign that I'm already making excuses either :D

    30 a day for me too.

    Well done & congratulations. Now you need to make the next step in your recovery - get all uppity about those damn smokers polluting our air etc etc etc.

    Well done Dubliner!

    Staying off them is the next hurdle, keep at it. Remember its like a game of snakes and ladders, every day that you're off them, you move up the ladder.

    But if you have one, you slide all the way back to the beginning, its not worth it.

    Well done to everyone who's off them.
    :D
