Day 3, Still going strong, though I don't mean to bore you, I'm expressing my thoughts here, to try & make it painless as possible not smoking. Your good gestures make me feel better, & keep me looking at a smoke free life. I will let you know on a weekly basis from on, how I'm am going. Again Thankyou For Your Support JD

😫can someone please tell me why I’m having the worst anxiety of my life? The physical side effects are getting unbearable. My chest literally feels like it’s crushed and I can’t breathe right. My chest is tight and all that’s on my mind is smoking. I didn’t think it would be this hard. Will this go? I just need help with the crushing feeling. I’m in hospital 3 days post ob (breast abscess) and I...

Hello my names Gina I’m new to this so bare with me please, I’m day 2 into cutting down to 1 smoke. I used to do about 25-30 a day easily. But I’ve come to realisation that going to hospital on Monday has told me I need to snap out of it and stay committed or I won’t be able to breathe for much longer. Now I have never quit before and I’m suffering some crazy voices in my head telling me to k...

I am absolutely stoked about being now 4 weeks as a non smoker! I can't believe now how scared I was. This is the first time I have actually confessed to that. My days are so much easier now. The anxiety about when I am going to fit my smoke breaks in, getting to the shops to make sure my stocks are ok, who is around, can they smell me......all gone. And I saved enough money to go out and buy...

Hi all, I'm new to this, but I thought that after 43 day without smoking I needed to try something to keep me going. I'm 60 years old and have smoked since conception, since my mother smoked during pregnancy, and my dad smoked all the while I was going up. I took my 1st puff (not second hand) at age 6. Started smoking everyday at the rate of a pack a day when I was 16. I have tried to quit many...

Day 2 & going strong, I believe from cutting down to zero has helped me stay stronger from not going back. With your help, I know I can achieve the best result. I have smoked for many years, I think about 45yrs. THANKYOU Keeping in good spirit JD

I started smoking when I was 13 years old. My family were all smokers, mostly truck drivers and I was surrounded by peers who smoked. I’m now 38 and a certified Chef. My idol(of course) is Chef Ramsay. I own all of his books and every one of them tells you that if you smoke, quit now because smoking dulls your palette. I knew patches and gums wouldn’t work so I decided to try E-cigarettes. Howe...
