Day 17. The monster is still slain. I feel so much better. My skin looks so much better. I smell so much better. My sense of smell is so much better. And I am $300 so much better off. I am pleased to be a non smoker.

Hi everyone, just joined the forum and have been so encouraged after reading your stories. I have smoked for almost 9 years and I quit 17 days ago, using the patch for the first week to help ease the transition. Now, only using the NRT gum when I have a really bad craving.

It’s still shocking that I quit cigarettes 1st try. I’m 33 and smoked since 13! 20 years of fags and I gave up 1st time with champix which in my view is a wonder drug.
