I quit smoking for 3 months using the patches. They certainly took away the need for a cig but not the wanting!
I decided I was happier as a smoker.
The thing is, you’ve really got to want to stop to beat it otherwise it’s hell.
Are you nervous about how you’ll cope without a cig or about going to the medical centre?
If you decide to give it a go, best of luck.

I smoked cigarettes from ages 11 to 41, thirty years and gave it up 8 years ago. I had to take a drug, I can’t remember the name of it, but it started with the letter z, to get me through the very difficult process. I still have cravings but I believe it was the smartest thing I ever did in my life. I wish you the best.

I have been smoking for 40 yrs and I ask myself the same quesitons as you everyday! If you want to quit, you will. I do not believe in all the remedies that are on offer-it has got to be from yourself and for yourself. I hope you do quit-if you do, please let me know if it was you alone that did it! Good luck.

I loved smoking more than just about anything. I gave it up when I got pregnant. I was completely miserable for about three weeks. I’d think about tackling people on the street to steal cigarettes out of their pockets. That was 8 years ago. I haven’t gone back to smoking. You can do it too. Good Luck!

aww i know how hard it is to give up , i have been trying different things ..patches ..hypnotherapy for ages and the closest i came to giving up was using gum. i too have been smoking since i was about 16 (47now) i have asthma and emphysema so i know it is killing me but OMG it is so so hard to stop because like you i do enjoy my ciggies, but i do believe if i could just do away with that first on when i Wake up then i would seriously have a good chance of stopping…trouble is my will power is not very strong lol aaahhh well one day maybe . good luck with stopping i hope you find something that works for you xx
