thanks for that Macca.... definitely crossed off the list....   much appreciated.... 

That's OK

By the way I gave up smoking 10 years ago.

I went cold turkey when I was told I had to have open heart surgery to fix clogged arteries.

I also gave up beer due to the urge for a smoke while drinking.

I managed to overcome that though and I now enjoy a beer at the barbie.

Cheers

Macca

A friend is quitting... again... and interested in trying Chantix.... anyone with experience/success with that?

I quit with Chantix.

 

My wife said it changed my personality a little. I had weird dreams, (which I like).

Other than that, it went well.

 

I know some people have serious depression with Chantix, some even get suicidal. So they say.

 

I think it's a wonderful thing. I know, for a fact, that I'd still be smoking if not for Chantix.

 

Oddly, my insurance would not cover it.

Amazing that people use nicotine to quit nicotine.  I stopped cold turkey 1 Nov 2005.  At $62.50 a carton of marboros, hot damn, look at the $$$ I'am saving and that's here in Texas, USA.  And that was because I also had clogged arteries.

Yeah, really. That's the beauty of Chantix....no nicotine involved.

seems to me it's a bit like a general anesthetic... you don't know how you're gonna react til you try it for the first time...  

 

I think with Tom's 14yrs and WOM's near 10... you guys have definitely got it licked....  

good inspiration...

I finally went cold turkey and quite on Good Friday last year so I am about 9 months and a few days. Having a bit of a problem with my breathing but have started an exercise program that is helping. If you haven't quit, please try before it is too late. Lost my Mom to lung cancer a couple of years back and just hope I did not wait too long.

 ... Good for you Frankie!!!  Also deep breathing exercises can help! Walking too, but not when it is so cold.

Bravo Frankie!   

On another note (no pun intended), Phil Everly died today from COPD.  [e digicons]:'([/e]

Smoked for 43  years so I do have COPD.  A mild form but enough that if I'am stuck ay the end of a parking lot I'am huffing and puffing when I get to the door.  So my advice is quit now, and at the price for cigs. damn its damn near to costly.

Will be 4 years for me on Jan 15... another milestone I am pleased to reach in much better health than if I had not quit.

Not only is my breating better, so is my sense of taste and smell.  I had almost forgetten how good is was to smell the Sunday roast as it cooked away.... and the taste, oh so much more flavoursome and enjoyable now I'm not smoking.

To all who have quit, good onya...

.... and to all who haven't, please do.  It will be the best decision... health-wise and financially.

I put my cigarette money away every week and it has added up to quite a tidy sum. Now to decide what I want to buy for myself!

One day when you find breathing is a chore and not a natural way of life, you will wish you had quit. Trust me, I know this and only say this out of love and concern for those who think it won't happen to them. It will happen, it is just a matter of time.  [e digicons]:')[/e]
