Ive gave up the fags

.

 

I gave up last year when I got some unwelcome medical news. I went cold turkey after smoking for over thirty years. It's not easy but if you're over the first 72 hours you've done great. There's alot of temptation to come but it does get easier with time.

 

First few days are a piece of piss, it gets much harder after that, I've never got past 2 weeks

 

I quit 14 years ago, went cold turkey after being diagnosed with asthma. You've got to keep reminding yourself why you have quit. Take it one day at a time, if you can do one day without cigarettes you can do the next and so on. It does get easier until eventually you don't think about it.

Some people might think smoking is cool but looking after your wellbeing is even cooler....I've shed two stone recently and work out three times a week. I couldn't have done that had I still been a smoker. Keep up the good work mate

 

Skunk only for me mixed with a third of a Marlboro light, mmmmmmmm

 

Why hasn't anyone said " giving up smoking is easy, I`ve done it hundreds of times " yet ?

 

Quitters

 

Title should say:

I've *given* up the fags

 

It gets easier over time. You'll notice when you get a craving, just ignore it and it will go in a few minutes. As the days pass the gaps between cravings will be longer and longer. Three weeks without a fag and you've cracked it.

 

My dad gave them up just before new year, after having a heart attack - solely been put down to the smoking.

He's been on the patches and still is. Now and again, he'll light a fag and take a wee puff, but says it makes him feel sick now.

Still gets the urge/notion.

Good luck, Eddie!!

 

Cant wait til Im allowed to neg rep Tina again!!!!!

 

Could you crush a grape?

 

God you're a simpleton! You make Gambol look like Einstein

 

That's the same reason my dad quit. He went cold turkey and never touched them again. After about 10 years he smoked a pipe for a short time but then settled on an occasional cigar.

 

Wait. Did he just insult me?

 

It was quite funny. Not what happened, but the fact my dad's in his 80th year and has been smoking since he was 17.

One of my nephews, 21 years old, he smokes. When he came up to the hospital to see my dad, I said to him' - gie it up wee man, or in 62 years, it could be you lying here

 

It's Holt with a new ID. But keep shtum or he'll neg rep you

 

Tina, don't you like the odd puff or ten?

 

Well, yes, but having sex with an endless string of glamorous women is even cooler still.

I once quit smoking for over four years. Women stopped looking at me in the same sexually hungry manner and I became invisible on The Street. It’s this rapidly diminishing chance of sex with appreciative strangers that will drive most men back to cigarettes, to be honest.

Look, if you’re happy for the Master of Glesga to give up on these opportunities then tell him to pack in the fags, sure. I just want to see the guy get his hole every night, though, and for this - let’s face it - he’ll need to smoke. You’ll be looking at yourself in the mirror as you pump weights in the gym and he’ll be looking at himself in the mirror as pumps an ineluctable array of vaginal delicacies - and I bet he loses more weight.

I’m sorry to conclude that your advice on smoking is invalid.
