Giving up the smokes today!

Lavattack

So I have been a non smoker now for a whopping maybe 4 hours or that way. Tis going grand so far. I have never actually tried to give them up before but they are just gone too expensive! Gonna try and stay clear of the pub for a couple weeks as it would be too tempting. Not gonna use patches/books/gum/hypnotherapy or any other method this time, will have a go cold turkey.

I will let ye know either-way how it goes and if anyone else is fed up of the price and wants to give em up feel free to post away here how you are getting on.

What vice are you going to take up instead?

TBH if you really wanna give them up its not all that hard.

Going cold turkey off the fags is nasty.

When you see that baby cawling towards you upside down on the roof, twist it's head and fall on you, it's horrible.

Need to give them up myself.

I'll smoke enough for us both OP

Anytime you feel like having one just use a Nicorette Inhaler, they're just as good... NAWT.

Best of luck

I gave them up a few times and lasted anywhere from 20 minutes to a day. But one day i decided i really wanted to give them up and i did it. Had patches for the first week but as im a scabby bastard i stopped them. 99% of it is in your head.

Ya I am the same, I am quitting for financial reasons and I am just too stubborn to spend the money I will be saving(hopefully) on "not-smoking". I would just rather smoke than pay to give em up like lol

Check out the links for Goal 1. I don't smoke so wouldn't have a clue if they work, but it's best to do this with like-minded people.

F*ck Goal 2! :pac:

Don't do it OP. How will you flirt? What will you do while waiting for a bus?

By smoking you contribute taxes to the economy and you cost less at the end of your life. It's your civic duty to smoke.

You should smoke more than you used to, in fact.

That has yet to be decided. Maybe paying off my loans a bit quicker, that would be good if I had the extra cash

Know what else would keep you occupied? A nice smoke...can't beat a smoke after a meal...sex....coffee...anything really...

But you're right to give them up, I gave them up loads of times...you get a better buzz off the smokes after giving them up for a day...

Thanks. Now I'm getting weird(er) looks from my colleagues for laughing like an eejit. :pac:

Oh, and don't forget, cigarettes are great as a slimming aid. Instead of working hard to be fit, you can smoke to look fit.

I really think that you should reconsider, OP. Being an ex smoker is crap. Being a smoker is like being Humphrey Bogart without being dead.

Well just so happens to be my first time actually saying that, if it wasn't my first attempt I would have said something like "I'm giving up the smokes again today"

There's an audiobook entitled Alan Carr's (not the fairy comedian) easyway to stop smoking. You can download it with uTorrent pretty quickly. I've downloaded it but haven't used it yet, as i'm not entirely sure i want to give up yet, but from the people that have used it they have said if you really want to give up smoking this book will make you never want to smoke again.

I thought it would've been, "Do you have a light?".

Ah but what do I know I only smoke at weekends now with my weekly alcohol intake.

I thought it would of been, "I can't wait to inhale this smoke so I can shorten my life by a few years and oh if I'm lucky I could get cancer in the meantime."

... too much? :rolleyes:

Not really, you didn't cover how I want to shorten the lives of my parents, my seventeen kids and my puppy with chronic passive smoking of Swastika branded cigarettes.
