Deciding to quit smoking because of the cost is not a good enough reason alone. We have all deprived ourselves of better things in life while choosing to smoke. Maybe you couldn't afford to buy a house. That is a great security and investment if you missed out. Some maybe don't eat as well as they should. Others can' t enroll their kids in hockey. Family vacations are out of question. How muc...

I do apologise for asking this question in this area, I understand it's unorthodox, but I just haven't been able to find out where I go to respond to comments left by other members. Would someone be kind enough to help me/ tell me how I can respond to comments left for me please? Best regards holycow

We had a bit of a discussion on statistics involving quitting smoking. The numbers in themselves may seem dismal, but statistics are set and presented to serve the purpose of selling products. Strangely enough, even the nrt manufactureres put in their small instructions to use their product with councelling. (That would include this forum). So who ever is out there, know that you have alread...

I stop smoking every year for as long as i can remember, the problem is every time i have a drink, which is not that often, they go hand in hand. There usually is a trigger of some kind and the fact that my wife is a heavy smoker makes it a little harder....

Stay strong and fight the fight. We the addicted smokers can and will always beat the addiction, we just need to maintain focus and ignore the side effects which are always very short lived in the scheme of things. On the 22nd June I will have met my biggest milestone yet and that is my one year anniversary of being quit (cold turkey). I want to offer each and everyone on this wonderful communit...

Well it’s been 9 days I have been smoke free. I have been using nicotine gum. I’ve tried giving up in the past. This time I feel so determined I’ve listened to Allen Carr’s book and hypnotherapy audio. I feel so determined strong and not only my health but the $450 I’ll save a month is such a huge incentive as I’m a single mum and need this money for more important things My partner smo...

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><em><u>Stress Ball Satisfaction</u></em></h3> <em><u>I would have to say that one of the things that has helped me to quit for the 9 days that I have are the 2 stress balls that I bought to occupy my hands.&nbsp; One is a stegosaurus dinosaur and when I squeeze it, green bubbles ooze out the sides.&nbsp; I have another one that is pink, and it has tiny gel like be...

I was a smoker for more than 20 years and am now I am on Day 14 of being smoke free! I have had some days where the craving was pretty strong I thought I would cave, but a few deep breaths and the craving passed. I am using patches and find these are helping a lot however I am really exhausted from this insomnia I experience every night for the past week - I am awake until around 3:00am and it’s ...
