    My dad was a 60 a day smoker - he's smoked since he was 11. He told me tonight that he's cut down to a third which is very good news. He might be able to get through 3 hymns now without a fag break!

    me and my n2b gave up 5 weeks today we are on the patches and its really messing with our slep ie we dont get any and when we do get it we have funky dreams but it will be worth it in the end plus we are saving a woping £260 a month by both of us not smoking both of us have smoked for a very long time me since i was 12 i am 31 now and h2b since he was 18 he is 36 now so its been hard

    I quit for 3 years then started again last year. In that time i put on almost 3 stone. I didnt mind - i changed my diet and joined a gym and it fell off me within weeks.

    But im back on them again - and what with my exams on the 12th March followed by another 6 month placement 50 miles away, and the wedding, there's far too much going on for me to quit right now - although im, down to less than 10 a day.... shite excuse i know lol!

    I gave up 4 years ago and have never looked back.... the smell actually makes me nauseous now. Have saved a fortune, skins better, teeth arent as stained, I can taste and smell and thats without the health stuff ( I am just a bit fatter but thats a small price to pay!)

    Well done and keep it up

    Well done!!!!
    I gave up smoking May 2008, when i was pregnant with my son because it made me sick. had to have hypnotherapy tho, when i tried to give up by myself (patches), i lasted 5 days but, I was an emotional wreck, crying all the time and throwing tantrums, so went to a hynotist, still feel like i want a ciggie every now and then but it disappears almost instantly and then i don't think about it for ages. probably wouldn't happen so often if H2B wasn't still smoking. Need to save up for him to go to hypnotist aswell, he tried but failed after 2 hours.
    Well done to all the ladies who are giving up and good luck to the rest when you decide to.
    Keep up the good work

    I have been smoke free for 5 weeks now!!! ;) I too have been saving the money in a jar, thats what is paying for our wedding!! I spent £35 a WEEK on them. I realised at almost 42 I'd had enough and wanted to see my kids have their wedding days too, my son is only 2, so I need to be around a long time yet.
    I hate the smell of it now, but can totally empathise with anyone thinking about giving up... no excuse is worth your health and wealth is it? ;) YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

    Wow, congrats to everyone who's managed to quit!!! H2b & I have tried a couple of times, but we just went cold turkey and ended up back on them after a couple of weeks because we were too b!tchy to each other :( I've heard about that book CupCake, one of my friends swears by it, but I'm not quite in the right frame of mind to quit yet... I keep talking myself out of so many things about it lol, like I couldn't put my money in a jar, because I always pay by card & hardly have cash on me. Plus I'd want it to be so very specific, I'd have an excel spreadsheet to help calculate how much I'm spending and how long it'd take me to save X amount, and I'd have to put the exact amount in the jar, but then I'd get all anal about the prices being different in each shop... Yep, I'm a nightmare.

    I dont smoke but my h2b does. Any tips on helping him to give up as i refuse to marry a smoker. I wont have my money wasted on a disgusting health affecting habit. Still 18 months til we get married but he has no inclination to start.

    A couple of the girls I work with are using champix, they started together and are really helping eachother, another person gave up a few years ago, she was hypnotized too and said it was the best as she tried loads of things before and that's what finally worked. I think when I quit I'm going to get one of those magic cigs to still use at home for a while

    well done you, a week is great, keep it up. H2b gave up on Saturday, and he's finding it really hard, he's got patches and we got him some inhibulators (or whatever they are called) yesterday to see if that helps him a bit.

    I've bought him a new golf club as a well done gift if he keeps it up and hasn't smoked by Saturday.

    I'm not getting him one every week though, but he says he needs some sort of incentive.

    I think an Xbox game might have to be next weeks present!!!

    I'm sure he is lovely, as is mine. But he's a bear with a sore head at the moment, he says its not so bad today,but that could also be as he's busy at work today, and he's got that little plastic tube thingie.

    Its totally out of character for him, so I know its down to fag withdrawal!!! Poor thing.

    Faye Champix is a pill you take one in the morning and one at night you take it for 8 to 15 days before you want to give up and then just get on with it lol. I took it for 4 weeks all in all so i have not taken it for about a week and i still don't want a ciggie. ( the only problem i had with it was that it made me feel really sick for first 2 weeks but for me it has been wort it!)

    My H2B is trying to give up but hes in such a crappy mood cos he doesnt want to use the nicorette cum we got or the electronic cigarette- he just craves the real thing! He manages a couple of days then gives in every time.
    How can I make him see that for his health, our future, our marriage, his nephew and our future children he NEEDS to give up for good.
