First day without a ciggie

Posted in Getting started
schedule 26 May 2017

I am 20 years old, Iv gone 2 years of smoking and yesterday my partner has constantly asked me to quit because he's worried about my health & for my future and children. Today was very hard considering iv been craving one all day and knowing my dad smokes it really triggers me into buying another packet only because it helps me stress less and calms me down. But I feel as if I'm going insane without one and I have an e-cigarette to help stop the craving but it's not really working. I don't know what to do. Someone please help.

Hi Rachel,

Congratulations on giving up. I'm sorry, I have no advice to offer on an ecig because they aren't approved for use here yet by the Therapeutic Goods Association. Have you tried calling Quitline?

They were fantastic for me.

It's the weekend so they will be closed so maybe to help over the weekend speak with a pharmacist?

I wish you luck because you have your whole life ahead of you and giving up is so worth it.
