Who's quitting?
11 Answers
Well the smoking ban is here, we can no longer smoke in our places of work or in the pub with that first Friday night beer. We can't enjoy a smoky one in a caf� with a nice coffee after trudging round the shops. It is the end of an era. It is a sad time for smokers, the thought of never having a cigarette in the pub makes your blood run cold. So for many of us smokers it is time to quit - we must leave our little friends whom we have shared so many good times with. Is anyone else out there quitting? Tell us how you are getting on - all the highs (if there are any) and the lows.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.My place of work has been smoke free for five years,so that doesnt bother me, we now have to walk around the building into the car park . Its a dirty habit,not good for myself and others I know, but I do not smoke where others are, I go into my own back yard. I will give up when I want to. This bann to me is over the top.Sorry folk but thats my opinion
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!
