Well done to all those who have kicked the habit... "The Sequel" and I both gave up nearly 6 months ago, It's been our third attempt over many years. We both gave up cold turkey, I could never come to grips with cutting back.
What has helped this time is that we both gave up at the same time and neither of us wants to be the first to give up, giving up.
As an old and sage person once said: ONE CIGARETTE IS TOO MANY, A THOUSAND IS NEVER ENOUGH

hang in there mate yes you to can be smoke free,at the end of the week theres your play moneyOriginally Posted by timbar
That's just as big an influence for us - the dollars (the health factor is a given though). As we both smoke, we'd probably be burning through the better part of $200 per week!!! No sh!t ... If we can pull the pin soon, that's all the dosh (and more) for the trip next year sorted!!
thats a lot of play money BIGRIG if you managed to stop shortly
you and the cook could go on your trip twice
Yep I go through $140 a week with both me and my misses....Thats ridiculous when you think about it....
do you realise that is $7,280 per year or 2/3rds the cost of bluey

i gave up 16 years ago
and old man customer of mine helped me stop, i was 100+ a day smoker
he told me he started during the 2nd world war he was a bommer pilot he started when his mate and copilot blew up along side of him by flack.
he wanted to give up at the end of the war and said he could`nt
he was told by a old man from the 1st world war
tell yourself you dont like the taste or the smell 10 times a day min.......... out loud,
and in 3 months you will stop
so far 32 people i know have listened to this , and 32 people have stopped (i have all the names and numbers)
how many here will stop ???????????
oh by the way apparently im the worst reformie ever ..............AND I DONT CARE!!!!!!!!! roflmfnsao...work that one Kat hahahahahaah
HELL NO !!!!!!
Lets not bring Bluey into this Bob, leave him alone...lol....
I know I know I know...$7280 a year...lol...I could have Bluey modded up to a machine by Easter 2012.
Rito heres somethin I've done this Anzac day will be 5 years i rekon or maybe 6. I was a hard core smoker, smoked flat out for 17 years minimum 40 a day + upto 20 captain black sweet filtered cigars! I tried cold turkey.....wasnt very pleasant to be around apparently. Tried patches 2x 24 hr patches at a time and still chaffed a pack in a sitting at the pub. Finally had enough and booked hypnosis. Havent looked back no cravings no withdrawals nothing. (Woke up with a sore arse hahahahahahhahaha) but no smokes. You dont actually go to sleep are totally aware of your surroundings. Maybe twice a year i have a dream that i light up a smoke and wawake up pissd of with myself then realise it was just a dream, and alls good. Just a friendly reminder i spose. Anyway wifey also did it and a couple of mates all still non smokers.
IF YA DONT GET STUCK YA AINT TRYIN HARD ENOUGH........OR YA TOOK THE CHICKEN TRACK
WARNING: TOWBALLS USED WITH SNATCHSTRAPS DO KILL!!
The old boy did the same and hasn't smoked for about 19 years - it was pretty radical in it's day (going to hypnosis) but it worked ...
