Only thing annoying me is trying to concentrate on writing up my menu plan and equipment lists etc.. for the Culinary fare. Maybe Satriani isn't helping right now either? lol

Well i have now been 35 hours with out a ciggie after 5 years of smoking. Im going cold turkey and it's not too bad, just need something to do with the extra time now, have tried the pills that you suck on but they taste like shit!

Here is to being Smokefree! :-)

18 months for me now..approx money that I did not give to the cigarette company's $6,000.
Top effort, remember that you have not given up anything, you have gained.

You dont save the money you would have spent on smokes (thats a bullshit line) you spend it on other things. Other things that mean more you than a smoke ever did.
Yes I worked it out that I would spend $4000 per year on smokes...now I dont.

Yea i haven't saved anything yet, but i may set up an automatic transfer of what i would used to spend on smokes and put it onto a savings account, use it to fund a trip somewhere.

A little O.T. - but why the fuck do people start in the first place?

Used to use the baccy to smoke hash when on OE, was great for having a toke in public looked like a rolly and didn't smell overly dodgey.

Trouble is got hooked on the legal stuff.

Cheers guys, haha when i feel like a smoke i just go for a ride, generally fixes it, or have a bit of a

Good thinking that man! I have not had a smoke in 18 months and dont even think about it now. The first couple of days when the habit wanted feeding were probably the worst, but if you have made the decision to stop smoking you will be fine. All you have to do is not have one smoke, and that is easy.

I was a heavy smoker and had smoked for over 35 years, I simply decided to stop and did! Never regretted it. Your industry is notorious for smokers, stay focussed.

We have a woman that has recently started working in my office. She is a smoker. The smell of smoke was very obvious when she first started. She has elected not to smoke during work hours (she is the only smoker, and it is a bit lonely out in the carpark by yourself) no pressue or anything, her call.

Now all i can smell is her baccy! She is a Port Royal Smoker and it reeks! Imagine saying that, not so long ago I used to enjoy the odd rolly Port Royal

I used to love it, but the cold baccy smells revolting. I dont usually mind the smell of smoke, in fact I quite like it depends on the brand I think. You can smell a smoker a mile away. I never realised that. YUK! So glad I dont smoke anymore!

My parents have been smokefree for over a week now. Makes me glad to think that my clothes, and the house , won't smell like the bloody things anymore.

You know this is something my kids commented on. Despite the fact we never smoked in our car, and always smoked outside, when we eventually stopped, they commented on how nice our house smelled. We had non smoking forends visit us and say the same I know that now, but when you smoke, no matter how much you try to make things "not smell" they still do.

Reading this thread has made me want a cigarette even more now, such sweet smoke, ah that's it I'm off to the garage for a smoke.
