Getting started

Hi Everyone, 10 days ago I started on Champix to quit smoking. I have tried Champix in the past with no luck due to nausea but after failed attempts of cutting down, cold turkey and NRT over the past few months I’d had enough and took my first tablet 10 days ago. This time on Champix I’ve made sure I have something to eat before having my morning and evening tablet and the nausea is almost no...

Just had my last puff........never going to have another puff again

I have started today I smoked my last cig this morning before work. I quit smoking for 10 years in my 30's then after a night out I tried one and was hooked again badly. I am now trying again after 20 years. Just turned 66 yo I plan to use Nicorette Inhaler and Vaping ( not nicotine based )

Hi, I set my quit date today and didn't renege which I'm happy about. I have smoked for approx 30 years and have given up for approx 12 months on two separate occasions. My best friend's husband was just diagnosed with lung cancer and to say that did not hit a note for me would be a lie, I am frightened for him, for my friend and as a smoker myself. I tell myself I enjoy it but really I don't. It...

It's different every time. It's different for every person. I started smoking at 12 . I stopped the first time in June 2016. Cold turkey. It's nothing like this time . Picked back up a cig. In Oct. 2018. After a disaster. Feb. I was told I had Hypothyroid. We tried me on Levox. Which took less then 4 months for my body to become allergic to it. My thyroid was at an 11 I had crashed. Then this...

I'm still here, I haven't abandoned ship LOL. Evening folks (it is almost midnight here on Friday) It has been a crazy busy week for me & I apologize that this is the first time I have had a chance to pop in. I see there are lots of new stories & can not wait to read them. An update from me...I am still struggling to fully launch. I have switched to an electronic cigarette with 14 mg of nico...

Day 1 today in my lifelong love/hate relationship with smoking. I already know that day 3 is my worst enemy, day 21 is my risky complacency day and any form of high stress just sends me straight back to the cigarette counter BUT this time i have new tactics. I have developed diffusion and distraction techniques, I've downloaded and registered on the icanquit app. I've entered the icanquit number...

I had food poisoning and was extremely unwell and could not smoke-so now 2 days later I am telling myself the first cigarette will make me feel ill. Crazy as it sounds I can not smoke unless I have a drink as an accompaniment so have told myself that I can have a cigarette without a drink (YUK). I am missing them, I have so many gaps to fill. I am keeping my quitting a secret in case I jinx mysel...

Hello, I started smoking regularly in late Jan this year when I found out my Mum has 3 weeks to live. She was diagnosed quite suddenly with small cell lung cancer that had spread to tumours in her spine and brain. Her initial diagnosis they maybe she might have a couple of months. But meeting with all the different teams at the hospital within a week and a half the head oncologist one day said t...
