Best of luck. Did the same thing 20 months ago. Best thing ever.

I quit a few years ago myself. Its fantastic.

Within 30 minutes of quitting smoking, your pulse rate slows down and blood pressure drops toward normal.

Within hours of stopping, the level of carbon monoxide in your blood drops, enabling the blood to carry more oxygen.

Two days after quitting, nerve endings begin to recover and your sense of smell and taste begin to return.

Within 72 hours of quitting, your lungs’ bronchial tubes expand and lung volume increases.

Months after quitting, shortness of breath diminishes.

In the first year, the risk of heart attack attributed to smoking declines for both men and women.

Two to three years after quitting, the risk of heart attack attributed to smoking is virtually gone.

After 10 years, the risk of developing cancer is about the same as for nonsmokers.

How long ago did you give up?

I gave up smoking around dinner time today. But I think I'll be back on the smokes around 3PM. :cool:

I quit a couple times last year, once two weeks ago, another time about 3 days ago, and sure why not, i may as well quit now. (Till the weekend comes along anyway)

I quit smoking March 2003 by going to the Allen Carr seminar, it was excellent, didnt want to smoke that evening or even the next day. No will-power needed what so ever.
its stayed that way for a year and two months and then a combination of man trouble and exam pressure got the better of me. i plan to give up again soon though

Best of luck Garth_Vader

Flukey

Stick with it. Remember, the only way to stop the craving is not to smoke. It is smoking that creates the craving. If it was not smoking that creates it, then all non-smokers would have one.

It's not that hard to be honest.
