Be strong and just destroy them, that way they cannot call to you. Throw them in the toilet and take a dump on them just to make sure.

what he said tbh!

Done a week and a half myself, on mild patches and a inhilater, its like a plastic ciggie that takes nicotine cartridges, when the urge gets too much I can have a few puffs on that.

30-40 to 0 a day after 16 years of smoking is turning out to be a absolute nightmare. I am noticing things taste a hell of a lot better now and this morning I followed some girl into work and could smell her purfume from miles away.

Feeling really good about not smoking today :)

I have tried several times in the past to give up but I finally think this is the time it works.

We are lucky in the UK that we can give up on the NHS, 2 weeks worth of patches and 2 weeks worth of inhilater cartridges cost me the same as 1 and a half packs of fags.

Nicotine gum, patches and inhalators are afaik not cheaper in any way than fags, cause it all contains nicotine which has a high taxation or w/e you call it.. Dunno, not thinking clearly atm

Denmark sucks and I want a cig

Wait another 5-6 monts until your gustative nerves are fully recovered. At the moment, they´re like Dresden 1945. :)
In another 5 years, your lungs managed to get rid of all the tar and look like normal lungs.

*thumbs up*

Well i've always said that people who feel alot(you pedantic bastards)better without smoking, shouldn't smoke. It's not for everyone really.

I have smoked for more than half my life which is quite sad really. The amount of money I have spent and the fact that I have basically been paying the government to harm myself is shocking. Probably near £20,000 in 16 years spent on tobacco.


Oh god, I think I will turn into one of those dreadful ex-smokers that moan at people that smoke :(

:eek:

I can't be your non-friend if you do!

Don't tihnk about the money though, you would've spent it anyway on some random crap like cake.

If you take any aspect, like candy for example, and crack the numbers, i think tobacco might lose(if you eat candy).

Over a year you'd save around £2000 (assuming uk prices for 20 a day every day)

Done over 3 weeks now. Feel a hell of a lot better for it. On the very mild patches and hardly using my inhalator, 1 or 2 cartridges a day...I am allowed 12.

Its supposed to be a 12 week course on the NHS but I don't think it will take that long for me, a couple more weeks and I will probably drop the nicotine patches and inhalator completely.

Those figures are for people who buy 20 pre made ciggies a day. I used to smoke rolling tobacco which is a lot cheaper, £11 every 4 days, or £6 every 4 days if someone was selling it in the pub so I never really spent that much money on it in one go but that's still £700-£1000 a year.

The only thing you "save" is your health,
the here and now economic benifits, are slim at best.
unless you pool that money, you wont see any real major difference.


if you pool it "like I did"
H'choly crap!
