If you are a smoker

[Uncle Spielberg]

If you are a smoker do you want to give up or are you happy with your smoker status and intend to carry and take your chances with the statistics ?

 

[Beach Hut]

I have no issues carrying on

 

[Seagull Steve]

I smoke and want to give up. Infact to my shame, I only lasted a week last time.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I have gone for option 3. It seems to me it is a physical impossibility to have a drink and not have a fag. I want to cut down but this year thats not happening at all at the moment.

 

[Drumstick]

I only smoke occasionally when drunk or angry which isn't very often. Sometimes I'll buy a pack of backi smoke til it runs out then not buy another for 2months.

I'm sure I could go that next step but I'm not desperate to do it just yet I'll continue as I am for a little while slowly cutting it out.

 

[Fur Cough]

Really want to give up, just find it impossible to do so.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The money is my prime reason as I simply cannot afford it and could spend the money on more productive things.

I 'gave up' NYE but had a relapse last weekend. Have had serious bout of man flu since and at the moment I cant imagine having another cigarette, even though I'm stupid enough to have some in the house!

Like most people, the real test is when I drink!

I can't afford to give up at Belgian prices! Lol lol lol.

Unfortunately the prime rule in giving up is that you really do have to quit completely. Just one cigarette is likely to start you smoking again. I gave up 2 years ago and STILL have fight the urge a few times a week. Once a smoker always a smoker IMO, it's all down to if you can avoid smoking the next one that will start you off again.

I really envy weekend smokers or those that can just smoke one or two a day. If I could do that I'd start again right now!!

I gave up three years ago and would be willing to give time to anyone who seriously wanted to quit. My general health and well being has improved dramatically.

However, it is a choice, and I think people shouldn't console themselves with the idea that they will give up one day, it's generally just to make yourself feel better when smoking.. It is best just to be honest as your brain knows if you aren't telling the truth. That way when you are serious you will do it.

However, I don't condemn anyone for smoking. I don't like reformed ex-smoking evangelicals full of anti-smoking bile!

I'm a smoker..... Kind of. I buy a pack on 10 and will last me 3 or 4 days. Only really smoke when having a beer

 

[Art Vs Science]

If those electronic things were a little cheaper I would. As it stands, duty free roll ups work out cheaper as far as I can make out. I really do need to give up though

I would love to not love smoking, but I do.

It's an expensive and unhealthy habit, but I enjoy it.

I love to have a cigarette in the morning with a cup of tea, after a meal, when driving, after sex, before the football, after the football, when stressed, when relaxing, with a pint, after several pints, before bed....

I DO plan to quit, or at least cut down, but it's very difficult to quit something that you genuinely enjoy.

This!

I've just given up - 3 weeks now. Its f*cking hard work, but its getting better. I've had a couple of minor lapses when hammered
but on the whole I'm finding it liberating. Its been a long time since I've actually sat INSIDE a pub for a whole evening.

Still miss it though..

 

[Saltydog]

Reformed! 24 day and counting (30th Dec)........is hard at times but I hope to get healthier as I age!!

Cut down from 15 ish p/d to 3 for the first 2 days then to 2 for the next 5 days then went cold turkey.

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

I enjoy the first cigarette of the day and that's it. The following 20 odd are purely maintenance to keep me from going mental.

Would love to quit, and would love even more to have not started in the first place.

 

[Falkor]

I dont smoke but its up to them that does, i wish people could still smoke in clubs, as they stink now its grim.

I hve tried it many of times at school as every one else did, and when getting older, but was lucky to never to get addicted.

 

[Cypriot-Seagull]

I gave up on new years day not lit up since. Very very proud of myself coz i didn't use any patches or other aids to quit. I've been tested and tempted many times but I'm gonna stick to my guns-to put it bluntly we just don't need it! Did i mention that I've been smoking for 22 years!

I got down to smoking when in the pub having a pint and fortunately there is no pub culture here and I only go on a Friday night.
I had my last cigerette about the end of July last year, I really fancy one on a Friday when but have so far resisted.
