OK I've held back from commenting until now.
I was a smoker until I stopped cold turkey nearly 30 years ago, and I used to give it a real hammering (sometimes 3 packs a day when traveling). All the family smoked, except for one brother so I was exposed to smoke from birth.
Tried to give up a few times but was never serious, always though one won't hurt especially at the pub after the footy (you could smoke anywhere then). One day I just decided to give up and stuck with the decision although the wife kept smoking. I've never had a puff since and now class myself as a dedicated anti smoker.
Sixteen years ago my mother was diagnosed with cancer and it was caused by smoking, she smoked until the end and couldn't stop. I helped my father nurse her at home for three months until she passed away (she wanted to die at home). This was very tough but rewarding.
My father gave up smoking about the same time I did but was diagnosed with Emphysema nine years, ago also caused by smoking. Watching a big strong man waste away over the years continually attached to an oxygen pump was terrible. I was with him when he passed away last year. The only way I can describe his last years is try living by only being able to breathe trough a straw, you're always struggling for air.
Giving up smoking is one of the best decisions I ever made and I encourage everyone else to do the same. I've never felt better and am still reasonably fit (but slowing down with age). I'm sure the damage has been done and it will get me in the end so I'm making the most of life now.
Anyone who has given up, WELL DONE, those considering giving up GO FOR IT - YOU CAN DO IT.
Oh and that 'Greensmoke' - just something to make someone else rich.
Now 3 Years & Six Months since I smoked after 53 years of smoking (Started at 14 Years).
Stopped cold Turkey with help of Tablets prescribed by Dr. Still have the occasional urge for a Fag but it does not last long.
I tried Patches etc and they did not help as you are still getting Nicotene , the same as the Greensmoke thing.
I still do not have a sense of smell.
Keep going Bob it will return, everything tastes better as well. I was never crook while I smoked but had Bronchitis three time in the year after I quit, I was tempted to take it up again then.
Took about 18 months for the cravings to go away but it's been worth it.
