I have smoked for about 25 years if i am honest probably 30+ a day. I had a hysterectomy on June 8th and have not smoked since.
I went cold turkey and miss it like crazy, however, I am determined not to start again.
Every day is a new challenge, and now its taking at least 10 minutes after waking up before I think of a cigarette, where as before it was as soon as I had opened my eyes. (sometimes before).
Good luck to everyone who is trying to give up.
On another note I think it is terrible that our free country is being dictated to like this. After walking down the town yesterday with my children I was disgusted with the drunks standing outside the pub swearing whilst having a smoke, there were dog ends all over the pavement. The next thing will be is that smoking will be barred everywhere, it is not fair on the smokers.
If smoking is to be abolished then start by making it illegal for under 18s to smoke. Its an impossibility, but then so is banning smoking!
