Good Luck. Put the money in a piggy bank and if you have doubts after a month, count it and pick a holiday destination!

When things get bad try the e cig Menthol are good

 

Hated menthol fags but the e cig was ok in menthol

 

Now i hate fags the smell and enjoy being able to breath

 

Keep going it is worth it:-)

cheers. know what you mean, taste smell etc already noticing it.

looking at the nhs info; after 24 hrs carbon monoxide leaves body, lungs start to clear mucus. 48 hours nicotine free, improved sense of taste and smell. 2-12 weeks circulation improved. 3-9 months lung capacity improved no coughing weezing etc. 5 years half the chance of heart attack compared to a smoker. 10 years chance of lung cancer half that of a smoker, chance of heart attack now same as someone whos never smoked.

well done guys x

[Ford]

cheers, still going. is tough, especially now! for every want of a cig am having food or a beer!

[dpick]

Hi ford stick to the beer not as fattening as the food also try to keep hands busy to keep your mind off the fags.

 

All the best with this and the new year.

hope so. cause it has been, and still is sometimes, tough (and have had a couple of cigars since stop, but not since last time). an e-lite might have to be an option if can't resist a craving!

cheers dpick for support. (as an added incentive for myself, will post up every 4 weeks ish for awhile!)

[dpick]
