What symptoms have you had giving up smoking ?

[Emily's Mum]

Stopped 6 weeks ago, cold turkey. I have felt fine, apart from tearing the heads off half the people in the Arthur Waite Stand on Tuesday night

Stopped 9 months ago.
Used patches & gum for 5 weeks
Put on a stone & a half.
Never had so many flu like symtoms like Ive had in these last 9 months.
I look better, better colour & I dont stink any more.
There are times when I'd still love a fag but I fight it & the feelings soon pass.

I dont mind others smoking around me & I still try & get a whiff of their fag...

Its hard but worth it I guess.. Probably saved £1300 rrp or £600 bloke in a pub prices

i gave up 8 months ago, believe this or believe this not, but i had got up to 70 a day !!!!!! (YES 70 !!) and i gave up, i used will power and also my doctor prescribed patches, which i felt helped, some people reckon they dont, the main ingrediant is will power though, i really do not want a ciggerette again, in fact when i smell smoke now it makes me feel ill, however i have really worked hard at not being an ex smoker and going on about it, the upside is im saving in the region of £450 MONTH (wife gave up as well btw) and ive bought a brand new 2 bed apartment with the proceeds, the down side is ive put on about a stone and a half, and if anyone says good morning to me i rip there frigging head off !!! (well i used to its not so bad now)

my advice is stick with it, everything will get better in time, good luck
