Been trying to give up smoking on and off for about 25 ywears now :smash:

 

Tried the patches, tried the gum, tried the dummy fags, tried will power even tried a hypnotist but nothing seems to help me for very long. OK I admit I am weak I admit that I have no self control but after a chat with Mac1 he advised me about a drug called "Zyban" So I go to my doctor and he tells me I cant have the drug until I have joined a local "give up smoking club" FFS. I dont want to join a fookin club I dont have enough time with my job and I aint an alcoholic or Junky I just want to give up smoking. He knows I have tried all the other things. What on earth is that all about? :headvswal

I am going to try and give up soon, got to psych myself up for it, good luck mate. As for Zyban my friend tried it and it works but made him go a bit funny upstairs.

Stick the patches on your eyes Vini then yer cant find your fags. :cool:

ill be joining you vin after i finish all my duty frees

youve been smoking so long,that if you do give up you'll most probably peg it!

Thanks Steevo. Just what I needed I'm dead if I do and I'm dead if I dont? :rofl: :rofl: :slap:

sorry for my optimism..... :)

ive tried them patches but they dont stay lit :(

i quit 2 years ago, your only going to quit if you want to quit, and best advice is find a hobby thats time consuming, ban smoking in the house so you forced to go out in rain, and each day u dont buy a pack of fags chuck a fiver in a jar, buy yourself somthing nice at end of week as a reward. after a week you no longer have cravings its all psycologial, just dont think about, do somthing else to take your mind of it. after 2 weeks u will taste food, and realise how horrible second hand smoke smells and wont want another fag.

 

all sounds anal i know but worked for me i was on 20 a day somtimes more, and just one day i threw my fags away and never bought or smoked one since.

wait till next year and go and spend all your time in a pub, you may become an alcholic but hey, you will have give up smoking as its not allowed in pubs from next year lol

a lot of doctors have that policy m8, it's to see how committed you are (don't shoot the messanger)

my wifes is the same, whereas mine in the same health centre prescribes it

i went to mine and said i wanted a prescription but was prepared to pay, and he said no need, i then ordered some online for the missus

so if you REALLY want to give up m8, loads of online places you can buy,

not exactly cheap but worth it for the benefits;)

Difficult - if you really want to do it, you will.

 

And to not quit is to court hideous disease and death.

 

I'm still on the Mayfair Smooth though so I can't preach.

Just keep modding all your vehicles bud, soon you will not be able to afford ciggarettes. LOL Just think of a packet of fags doing you out of a fivers worth of mods.

Zyban works. For less drastic (and more pleasurable) measures, try pipe smoking or cigar smoking (the goal is not to inhal). I took up the pipe and quit my 25 a day habit of 16 years in 2 weeks. I still smoke pipes and cigars, but do not inhale, and the relaxation of this kind of smoking far outweighs the minimal (if any at all) helath risk. If you look at insurance tables for pipe smokers (in particular) the life expectancy is actually longer than people who do not smoke at all! I can also go for days without a pipe or cigar and not feel any cravings and I don't wheeze any more after climbing the stairs.

but Stella i would drink about 13 pints a night then lol

No One Likes A Quitter!

I tried the patches but I had a real job trying to light the *******s PMSL

 

Get on that Zyban Vin you wont regret it! As for the funny upstairs comment you already are :rofl: ;)

no matter what method you use, only YOU can do this, if you want to stop you will, if you dont you wont, simple as that...

 

i stopped after smoking for 30 years when a mate asked me how my wife and kids would get on if i kicked the bucket.. makes u think.. we all know they're not good for ya and kill a lot of people...

 

plus now i'm not a smoker, you really can smell a smoker when they enter the room, i often think "jesus did i used to smell like that"...

 

the down side is i put on 3 st, so now the fookin extra weight will probably kill me.. lol..

 

i also often find myself grabbing a smoker and nicking some of their smoke.. lol.. doesnt happen often but i still get the urge even after 14 months on not having a single drag..

 

hope u get sorted mate, its not easy, but after a week the cravings will ease, and after a month you'll wonder how you ever smoked... you'll save a lot of money, your house/clothes/kids wont smell of smoke, and more then anything your longterm health will improve..

 

god i sound like a right righteous c**t.. sorry, not meant to guys..

Not in my case and thats a fact!

 

I was on 40+ per day and no matter how hard I tried I could not quit.

 

Only thing that worked for me was Zyban what an amazing thing it is. :bow: :bow: :bow:

maybe the physical addiction part of the smoking is stronger in some people mac.. i dunno mate... but after 30 yrs of about 30 a day i just stopped dead, the only thing for definite is that i ot my head round it and WANTED to stop more then i wanted to carry on..... how does this zyban work exactly???

Thats it see. Poeple think that we are all the same and we aint. Like you Macca I have tried and I really want to give up. YES! I enjoy a fag now and then but that dont mean I like doing it. I will get some one way or the other mate. But I aint got time to join no poxy club. I will kick it...THEN.....Maybe I might do better at the TUG o WAR? :bow: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

you can do it Vini :)
