Quitting tobacco

[remember arthur mann]

Poundland do 'Galpharm Nicotine Replacement 4mg Lozenges', 36 in a pack, all minty and that.

Been smoking over 25 years and i'm using them now, they are working a treat, don't suck a full one though it blows your head off, 4mg's is 4 roll ups in 1 - split them in half and you can go 2 -3 hours without a hint of withdrawl.

That's like dumping beer for whisky

Comes with a programme you are supposed to follow, gradually reducing. No smoke is the best part of it.
edit: oh and they are a quid, works out at about 15p a day.

I'm on my 6th day of "cold turkey". It's tough but I already feel better in a morning. I've just been eating lots of celery and carrots to avoid eating any type of bad food I can lay my hands on

I sincerely wish you all the best in kicking this horrible habit, like many people on here I lost both parents with cancer.

I did it cold turkey 20 years ago after blowing smoke into a tissue, I stared at the residue for half an hour and thought feck it, I'm going for it. It's one of the most difficult things I've ever done and I regard it as one of my greatest achievements. I smoked 20-25 a day, more at weekend.
You have to be 100% up for it or you'll cave in. I used to imagine I was in the doctors being told I had lung cancer if I was feeling weak. It take years to leave you and like I say it's very hard to do.

Thank you all for sharing. Nice to see I'm not the only one who wants to/is trying to kick the habit.

Have heard tobacco is the Indian's secret revenge against the white colonists. In jest I'm sure, but it's a motherfucker no doubt.

It is hard. I did it cold turkey but I replaced it with other activities. Exercise, bike riding, a walk, a wank. You will feel better almost straight away.

And then a bit sleepy....

Over 6 years now. After i quit smoking weed there did'nt seem much point to smoking as i'd spend the 1st hour of the day coughin up shit. Gradually started smoking less and one day just thought fuck it, haven't had one since. Just think blues if you give it up it will pay for your seasoncard, cl etc and you will be healthier to boot. I chatted shit for years about giving up but its a great feeling having done it.

Anyone tried and had sucess? I quit cigarettes, 12 years ago, it was difficult. Had to stay away from the pubs when my mates went out for 2 reasons. 1. I'd get drunk and buy cigarettes. 2. I'd not but smokes but get blind drunk because instead of bringing a cigarette to my mouth I'd bring my beer there. Was a process but I've done it.

That bring said, I picked up spit tobacco, dip, chew, whatever you wish to call it. I like it better than I ever liked smoking and it is a cast iron woman to quit.

Sorry mate, and no offence but that is the most disgusting habit you could probably pick up. I used to work with some backward arsed hick from Fargo North Dakota that was a semi pro baseball player and full time dirty tobacco chewing ****. Big globs of thick, brown arse juice all over the job site and you couldn't understand a word the **** was saying because he had what looked like a cock in his mouth at all times. Good luck.
