Re: Ex Smokers???

I gave up about 10 years ago (I think). Tried twice previously but only lasted 6 months each time! Then tried the patches and finally kicked the habit!

Now I detest the smell of cigarettes!

They say there's no-one as virtuous as an ex-smoker.
I'm really lucky that I'venever (ever) done it and simply can't see the attraction

Re: Ex Smokers???

Stopped completely 6 1/2 years ago when I discovered I was pregnant with 1st son. Now I can't abide the smell and my 6 year old makes a point of making a fuss about it if we happen to pass a smoker in the street

Before that, I was a 20-30 a day habit . . . I must have been mad!!!!

Re: Ex Smokers???

I gave up just over two years ago. I'd tried to give up before but couldn't because OH smoked. Last time he gave up first, so I found it easier, but not easy. I used sugar free chewing gum as a nursey friend of mine gave up with the nicotine gum and got hooked on that! As a life long asthmatic I should never have started, but my then GP was a smoker and said that if it reduced stress, which it did, not to worry!!! Now I have COPD and I remember at my first annual review at the surgery when I told the asthma nurse that I'd given up, her face really lit up she was so pleased. When I wanted a ciggie, I pictured her smiling face and I found that was the most helpful and supportive thing.

I stopped smoking 20-odd years ago because my son started and I couldn`t tell him not to with a ciggie in my hand, could I?

Re: Ex Smokers???

Baz and I stopped almost 5 years ago.

We find the smell of cigs utterly repulsive.....
