Who's giving it a go?

Good luck to all who do.

I have noticed one thing now that less people smoke and that smoking is banned on buses, in pubs etc.

When you stand next to someone who does smoke they STINK.

Their hair stinks, their clothes stink, and their breath stinks.

I am not sure they realise how much they smell, but if they did I think they would give up.

Me. Not had a cigarette since midnight.

[tonyav]

Not me.
Well done daffy.

All I can say to those who will try it: You can do it! Just don't give yourself that option of having just a puff and when you feel you can't stand it anymore go and brush your teeth for three minutes. It was one of the best things I ever did.

[daisya]

Well I've not had a cigarette since....I was born...pity those who have...hope those who want to can kick the habit...good luck to them.

I'm giving up the post-prandial one................

[tonyav]

? ^^^^^

[daffy654]

Thanks Tony. :)
I am determined to stop so I can afford a really good gaming laptop. The £50.00 per week I currently spend on fags will soon mount up!

[tonyav]

Bloody hell daffy £50 a week, you will be loaded.

[daffy654]

I know, shocking isn't it!?!

[JonnyBoy12]

You used to smoke 'in utero', daisy? That is an early age to start!

Seriously though, good luck to all those who are honouring 'Stoptober'! I will be thinking of you all the time. They say you are 5 times more likely to give up for good if you can last the whole 31 days. Why could they not have chosen February instead? You would have to last 3 days less then!

[tonyav]

Well, when you start adding it up just how much you spend on fags then yes it can be quite a shock, Food for thought there I think, daffy.

[daffy654]

I have stopped many times before, for periods ranging from 3 months to a year. I always start agin when I start to put on weight. This time will be different though!

[tonyav]

Hope you can crack it this time daffy. Why is it different this time though, daffy ?.

[daffy654]

I have already put on weight (went from 8st to 10st in 2 years) so it won't be so hard for me to deal with now. :)

[tonyav]

Righto daffy, I get it now.

[friedgreentomato]

I ordered the stuff and it never turned up so refuse to give up!!!

[tonyav]

What stuff fgt ?

[daffy654]

I didn't bother with the quit kit FGT, I am using nicotine patches that I bought a few months ago and promptly shoved in the cupboard and forgot about. lol
