My last cigarette was the 21st december

That makes it a calendar month. Have to say, it was helped by a shitty cold that lasted almost 2 weeks, but its actually been easy; I just stopped because of the cold and didn't bother restarting. It wasn't intentional. :) My eyesight has improved. Weird. My lungs are clearer and I have more energy. Mind you not poisoning yourself with carbon monoxide is gong to help.\ So all in all interesting, and here is a tip: Smoke until your mid 40s, That way when you stop you will feel young again and be as healthy as you were in your 20s and so not feel the effects of ageing! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Well done, that man. Keep it up. I gave up about 20 years ago. Felt crap for a year, put on a bit of weight but it is worth it.

In itself an interesting experiment in finding out just how much crap there is in your lungs as a smoker.
Funny how people have to find these things out for themselves rather than use the example of others.

It's a denial thing, I suspect. "Yes, I know smoking is dangerous and ruins health. But not mine!"

Works well doesn't it? In a few weeks it will be a year since I had a cold, stopped smoking and did not buy any more tobacco since then. Instead, I now spend that money on building and flying model helicopters.

Its a real killer, and owrse than that, its a shadow life. A real waste of time. If you smoke, just do it properly and kill yourself, If not, then live! :)

30-40 a day!!! It was bad. :sigh: Anyway, put on weight and had a cough for ages. Also, I quit cold turkey. Just stopped one Thursday afternoon in September. Got in my car and went to light up. Decided I didn't want to do it anymore and have not smoked since. Have never even craved ne and I'm not all that bothered if others smoke around me though I do hate the smell. Good luck: it's never too late to quit. Except, of course, if you are on your death bed. Not going to help you at that point. :-)
