So who is the biggest quitter here then ? Anyone trying to give the smokes up and failling ?

Hell no i ain't a quitter!
*off topic* this forum is really quiet!

Hell no! It was so funny. I was workin in Anseo on New Years when about 10 people told me they were quitting, at the stroke of 5 past, I went out for a smoke, and what do I see? Yes, 8 out of 10 people puffin away!

No, I didn't bother trying to quit either. I'll quit again when I feel the time is right!

I'd thought about quitting for the new year, but didn't get around to it.
Need to quit soon though, I've get a very subtle numb pain in my left arm sometimes and it scares the shít out of me.
I don't think heart attacks at 25 are unheard of.

Just look at Paul Hunter (snooker player) who got cancer at 26 there last year... not sure if he is/was a smoker, but it really dispels the whole "ah sure that only happens to old people" kind of lie we tell ourselves.

The new year won't give me any special quitting powers so why bother?
I think I'll avoid the whole well-intentioned-but-doomed-to-failure-new-year-quitting-stuff bandwagon.

Yet another non quitter here even after watching a programme tonight on channel4 called cold turkey where Tara Palmer Tomkinson and Sophie Anderton went through aversion therapy. It was very graphic but I managed to give up for the hour it was on and lit up straight after.

I'm demi-quitting at the mo. suffering from a bad cough so really dont want to smoke at least until its died down. if my cravings have died by that stage a bit, then i might quit. or might not.

Yeah that's ^ a great time to quit... when smoking makes you feel like your lungs are being prodded with white-hot pokers :eek:
Now if only there was a patch that made your lungs do that

I heard not too long ago that smoking even 1 cigg a day does as much damage... wasn't it on the news or something?
Seems like anti-smoker-brigade horse-shít to me though.
