DarioJ and I have decided to give up the devilish little white sticks, in favour of better health, cleaner lungs and heavier pockets, full of money to spend on new kit!
My quite date is the 15/01/2013. I think for most of you this will make sense written like this; 01/15/2013
My aim for the end of the year is to have enough for a DJM2000 Nexus!
Anyone wants to join or just to offer support/hints/tips, then feel free.
I’ve tried cold turkey before and lasted about 4 hours lol, this time I’m taking champix tablets which are really helping. In also using an e-cig with plain liquid (no nicotine) to help with the cravings.
I stopped smoking 18 months ago, I used the electric cigarettes for a while, but was still quite addicted to them.
So I went to tesco and bought the patches, it really is worth doing. Im now a non smoker
If your in the uk you can get 12 weeks of nicotine patches for the price of a prescription, you’d be crazy not to.
But I now need to take up a sport, my current hobby of eating isnt working. Smoking is slimming
they’ll have to pry the ciggies from my cold dead hands! oh wait
..either that or just keep on raising the price… If the governments of the world do that with alcohol when they realize the population will give into their demands with no fight I won’t be happy.
Tried champix… One of the listed side effects was ‘Vivid Dreams’… Dude, vivid doesn’t even come close to scary-ass nightmares I was having! I’ve tried a self help book this time, as well an e-cig. Have to carry on smoking whilst reading the book cover to cover. Will see how it goes!
Yeh I do get pretty vivid dreams but they’re not unpleasant, just very real! Only side-effect I’m getting is nausea after i take a tablet, but it’s normally fine as long as I eat something beforehand. Taking one on an empty stomach makes me feel like I’m going to throw up IMMINENTLY for about 5 minutes, pretty nasty. I haven’t had a cigarette in 3 weeks and I haven’t killed anyone or committed violent crime either so it must be working
Exactly…this is why I am always broke! It’s sad that if the choice was to spend the money on cigs or sandwiches at work, I’d chose the smokes…everytime, and then not be hungry because they suppress your appetite.
Ant wait to have some extra money to save and then spend!
Someone said something to me the other day on this subject which is very true; one of the best things about not smoking is that you don’t spend your entire life worrying about how many you have left in your pack and if you’ll have enough for the next morning.
make sure you quit with some in your pack… It is your back up plan and allows you to make a choice whether or not you really need one which gives the power back to you.. If you quit with none there you are powerless and at the mercy of your addiction until you buy another pack, feel like a failure and finish the pack… It is also good after 2 weeks, a month and three months to cheat. It wiill make you realize just how bad they taste and make you feel. It really gives you the motivation to keep fighting.
Been using an Ecig on and off for almost a year and cut down the fags to about 3 a day. But been off them completely though for the past month or so since buying a “proper” e-cig Mod/Tank and started making my own E-juice.
No too bad for a Chain Smoker who spends 14 or 15 hours a day at home on his computer
I worry the feckin’ EU will ban Ecig juice with more than .4 mg nicotine in a 10ml bottle I’m healthier than I’ve been in 10 years and pretty damn sure that without an Ecig (with nicotine) I’d be back on the cancer sticks in no time.
Honestly “Vaping” starts to become a hobby in itself, chasing that perfect Vape combination of taste Throat hit and smoke and you just forget about the fags.
