Just spend a day researching the effects of lung cancer. That should put an end to the cravings.

The ex girlfriend watched her Mum die on her living room floor from lung cancer. That's pretty brutal stuff. She was a big smoker (her mum).

Good luck with quitting mate, your life could depend on it. if only i could get my Mum to quit.
 
I used Champix as well with great results. Gave up 4 months ago, my wife is one of those annoying people that can smoke every few weeks with a drink and then not bother for another few weeks. Had a week moment a few weeks back and ended up smoking two fags whilst pissed but because of Champix (nearly finished the course) there was no enjoyment to be had (though I had two to make sure). Not had one since.

Have been exercising quite a lot as that stops me putting on weight and also makes me feel the benefit of giving up.
 
You're actually through the physical addiction stage. What you're feeling now, unpleasant as it is, is psychological addiction. Nicotine is among the most addictive substances known and your mind is missing it. Read up about how much you've already improved your health. I believe you'll have no carbon monoxide in your blood now, lung function and heart will already be improving.
Are you going cold turkey or using Nicotine Replacement Therapy? I used patches but the advice on the box as to how long to use them is rubbish. My Broither in law's a doctor and he reckoned up to a year of slowly reducing the patch strength would do it. Anyway I haven't touched a ciggy now for 5 years and I'm one of those nauseating zealots who can no longer stand the smell of them. Keep going and the advice about exercise is a good one. You'll do it!

and if you cant be arsed exercising, its still healthier to carry a few extra pounds than be smoking each day... plus, giving up smoking doesn't make you put weight on, it just puts your appetite back to normal... so its up to you to eat properly and not eat like a pig when you become unusually hungry!
 
just into week 14 of quitting. cold turkey method, as said earlier stay in the pub where you can,t smoke its easier, and get so bladdered you can,t ask to nab one for the way home its easy really plus my daughter nagging me helps.can,t comment on the exercise side of things i am now to big to get out of this chair. only kidding good luck to one and all.
