Almost into my 3rd week now. Concerned that I will now die of starvation - I am chewing so much gum that I am shortly going to be left with no teeth.

Well it will be 5 weeks nicotine free now and I am now starting to feel very confident about never smoking again. Each day is getting a little easier and the only hurdle left is in the middle of an all night sea trout session when I have just lost one ;D Keep it up the rest of you guys

Gave up the Xmas before last and the toughest thing for me was the Sewin fishing as well! Once you manage to do a night without one ie your first trip, it's not so bad. Losing one, and waiting for it to get dark sitting on the bank. Do it once, and you'll be away.

I enjoy either a big cigar or a pipe waiting for the light to go when sewin fishing and hardly ever smoke in any other circumstances these days.

its almost 4years since i stopped (i was a heavy smoker) i used patches and found it easy. had the odd notion for one but never a craving. went to doc with a cough & asked for a cough bottle he gave me a prescription for patches & said you stop smoking & i'll stop you coughing i think you must really want to stop not just have a go at stopping

Well here I am, 2 months today and still nicotine free and it's getting easier.
NO MORE FAGS FOR ME!!
Apologies for kicking this back up, I was inspired by the reappearance of the plane flying debate thread. ;D

OK, I stopped for 9 year and then foolishly had a cigar one day, I'm now on twenty fags a day, if you've stopped I will give it another go....but remember you are a reformed 'smoker' and one day you could well be tempted, its one hell of a drug.

I have never smoked, but just out of interest; do you think the new ban on smoking in pubs and clubs is going to help people give up?
Over the years, many of the smokers I have worked with have tried to give up smoking. They tend to manage it fairly easy at work, but putting them in a pub with other smokers after a few drinks seemed to be the most common cause of weakening and failing.
To me that alone makes the ban worthwhile.
Let's hope alcohol is next.
