How many have made it

Gave up about 10 years ago and still haven't decided to have another since, although as the others say, it can be a struggle at times. I had to give up alcohol a few years back as well so I know how hard it is to lose ones pleasures in life. Its worth it though, so hang in there, it does get easier.

gave up nearly 3 years ago after smoking since 1964. Put on a bit of weight at first, but have now started to lose it.(the weight, not my marbles} Don't wish to sound like a lot of ex smokers who go completley anti! But it really is a horrible habit, stinks and it does gradually kill you! Put the money you save in a jar so you can go to Canada or New Zealand and take some of the pictures you have ever taken.. Live long and prosper.....Tony

given up 25 years at 40 a day means i should have smoked if i had carried on
wait for it
365.000 fags at a cost of todays price of 4.oo pkt
73.000 pounds or put it this way my mortage is is being paid for for giving up
just think of the volume of smoke it would have produced so thats my contribution to global warming
plus an extra ten years life expectancy plus cheaper life ins
did it with the wife she was on twenty a day it was a man woman thing so we both gave up together neither wanting to be beaten by the other.
so to all who are trying to give it up it is not easy but it sure as hell worth it.
think positive and you will get there

I finally gave up on Sunday the 16 June 1992 while canoe surfing on the river Blyth estuary at Southwold age 48, they get wet and soggy you know.
I started at 15 and was a 30 a day man. I never think of them now and never intend to start again. As you would imagine I had tried to give it up on a number of occasions over the years, in fact this is an understatement, in fact I would comment to colleagues, I wish I had a fag for the number of times Ive tried to give up. In that time I had tried thousands of times for an hour, 3 times for 6 month and once would you believe for 4 years. One fag did it. I can recall squashing up half full packets and throwing them out of my car window while at work, only to go back some time later straighten them out and have one.
Stick at it; the first three weeks are the worst. You wont regret it.
