This is no hint this is just beating my own drum or pumping my own tyres. 156 days do smoke free and the savings from not smoking is growing by the month, $500 per month to be honest. My health has improved, coffee is much more enjoyable inside cafe's as opposed to sitting outside in the freezing cold. My intake of mints and spraying of aftershave has decreased as I don't have hide the disgusting smell of a smoker. I can now smell the stench of cigarettes on people from a mile. Seriously I don't know how or more to the point why I ever smoked. I have made a commitment that if I was ever to return to smoking that I would take the money out of the bank and take it outside and put a light to it and watch it go up in flames, because thats what smoking is doing ! I am not going back I have seen the light. Hallelujah !

Thanks for posting your story. i needed to read it tonight. Am day 25 and struggling. I was not a big smoker but a regular smoker and often felt like a social leper. In fact wouldn't go out because it was more enjoyable to sit at home and puff to my hearts content....... Until the morning after, when I could smell and taste the aftermath.

It is great o read stories like yours and know that others have done and are doing it... Thanks again
