My mothers just stopped, after smoking for 35 years. She said she would once she retired, just she couldnt do it bewfore retiring as she thought she might end up killing some of her patients if she didnt smpke to chill out sometimes! Thats another problem, my temper is really really bad without smoking, when I smoke, I just **** off outside for 5 mins to chill when people are doing my head in

I thought they were like 8 quid a packet I suppose if you roll your own its not too bad price wise

We can get 50g of backy for 6 quid, go through about one and a half packs per week between me and gav. So its like 9 quid a week ish.

But as i said, have loads of tabs from lanzarote recently to (between 12 euro and 18 for 200). Crapping myself throughcustoms mind

your metabolism slows down, your heart rate drops, your blood pressure goes down, and your stomach isn't contracted due to nicotine. Those things alone will make you put on weight, even if you don't eat more, and you do eat more, to take your mind off it and because food starts tasting delicious because your taste buds start to recover

I smoked 30 a day for 35 years, stopped and never looked back ... and now i'm one of those superior non smokers

Vaping is a good stepping stone for most (if you use it in the same was as cigs, as in taking 6 vape breaks a day, and not vaping anywhere because you can). When you want to give up that too you can carry on vaping nicotine-free vape juice.

There are actually some vapes that i like, the blue slush one is what helped last time. But as I said, put on a ridiculous amount of weight in a very short space of time so went back to the smoking.

Doesn't help that given so many people are successfully stopping by using vapes, the Government **** themselves as tobacco is not bringing in as much profit...so now vaping indoors is banned and must be treat exactly the same as smoking, obviously hoping people just go back to the cigs
