So far today I have been okay without a smoke but the last hour I have started to get really irritable and emotions have ranged from being depressed, to wanting to smash somebody in the ****ing face before being calm again.

Anytime I feel like I need a smoke I'm gonna come in here and distract myself.

[thesheriff443]

you do that ben, what about those electronic cigarettes?

[AnnieK]

Good luck Ben....it's tough going but so worth it

[Benjamin]

They are so expensive and not been proven to be any better than real cigarettes as they still contain chemicals. I'm gonna try do it with will power.

[Vanessa]

Good luck! I gave up smoking and i feel so much better for it.

[Samm]

Good Luck!!! I have never smoked so I don't know what it feels like so I can't give you any advice but well done!!!

That doesn't help, if anything it got my parents back on them even stronger.

Good luck Ben! You can do it!

[Cherie]

Nicotine patchs or gum? just think of those horrible lines smokers get around their mouths from all that sucking, that should do the trick.

This is so true, I picked up a menthol one to read the small print (I smoke menthols) and it had more crap in it than the cigs I smoke obviously not saying they are all the same but switching to those ones for me wouldn't have been any better.

Good luck btw.

I suggest you try them to use only occasionally or keep one just in case for those days when willpower is über hard. I live in a house where my parents smoke and they have done most of their lives, so I know from their experiences how hard it is to quit. I'm super proud of you for trying and hopefully you can say goodbye to smoking

Good luck!

Get the Nicotine Micro Tabs from the Chemist, not that cheap but better than paying for fags.

You can get them on prescription too...your GP should have smoking cessation which can help

Yeah I read the small print on them one day and they contained just as many chemicals which I'm sure are just as harmful.

My solution so far to ignoring the couple of minutes craving is either come in here, eat one of my Christmas sweets, run up and down the 4 flights of stairs in my house or put on a dance track and gyrate around my room for a few minutes.

[Benjamin]

Thanks for the good luck messages btw everyone.


If I flip out more than usual (hard to tell I know lol) a lot of it will be down to this for the next few weeks.

[Mystic Mock]

Distract yourself with everything you've got Ben, as a Music man though I would suggest maybe listening to some Music?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Good luck! didn't know the e-cigs has chemicals too

[Jords]

Thought e-cigs were just water vapour? My dad uses one with 0 nicotine.

[Mystic Mock]

I think it depends on which brand you get Jords.

[Natalie.]

Good luck Ben, you can do it
