Well done you two. Giving up was bloody hard for me, but I was horrificly stressed at the time. Harder than giving up wanking they reckon. Six months down the track you will be pretty pleased with yourself.

The important thing for me was taking regular breaks and switcing the brain into neutral, as I tend to go hardcore for hours and hours.

I just want to say great news and well done, Maha & Mom. I've never smoked, but both my parents were chimneys. Dad last years were awful with emphysema and an oxygen bottle, now my mum is going through it. It is truly, absolutely horrible. I hope you can stick with it, I really do.

It really is easy to not want one.
We have a friend here at the moment who is smoking. I just dont want one, even though I can smell it. I left an ashtray outside for those friends who smoke.

I figured out that, if I were to have kept smoking till I was 80 (another 33 years) I would have handed over close to $120,000 to the tobacco companies.
$3640 per year alone on fags! that money would be better going elsewhere.

Hey there, still happily not smoking. Easy as pie! Can not stress just how easy it has been.

Well done, I have found this time to be so easy. Over 2 months and I'll never have another.
Be super proud of yourselves .

Congradulations about giving up smoking would you be able to pm me the name of the book you read and the publisher.My partner smokes which is not good but at least he smokes outside hes been smoking before I met him and that's 14 years ago so I think it's time for him to give up.

Thanks Nina

Firstly, it helps if the smoker wants to stop.

The Author is Allen Carr and the book is 'Easy Way To Stop Smoking'.

Published by Penguin.

Read that 3 days ago, no smokes since. Awesome book.

That's true you can't make a person do something they don't want to do they have to do it for themselves it just would be nice not to have the smell of smoke or going to kiss someone after they have had a smoke which I don't allow him to do anymore ''YUK''
I just went on the net and had a look for that book and found it.The book has sold 11 million copies i'll have to go to the book shop and buy it tomorrow.I've asked him before to give up but he just wasn't interested but I think as you get older you have to take your health into consideration.

Way to go you two! I had heard of this book last year when my aunty got it....she still has the book and is still smoking......she keeps saying she hasnt finished the book!!
Think I may get it soon to tell the truth...costing way too much to smoke!!

Gotta tell ya 'B' I really did enjoy having a smoke. There were a couple of factors that helped me knock it on the head for good, health/cost.
Someone asked about this book on here last year and I said ''we have a copy here but its missing chapters 11- 18 because we run out of zig zag papers at our last party''.

I am no reader of books to be honest, they cant keep my interest, but I read about 130 pages of Allen Carr's book on the first day, I think because I really wanted to stop smoking at that point. By day two, it was all over, no more book, no more smoking.
The strange thing is, I/we dont mind being around others who smoke.
We simply just dont want one and thats because we dont smoke!

I'm reading all these post's that differen't people have written it's like this book has magical powers everyone is saying that they have stopped smoking it's just blowen me away.I know my partner pays $14 for a packet of his smokes amagine how much he would save if he gave up.

I'm going to have a little chat to him tonight and ask him if he would consider to try to have a go in giving up smoking I spose because i've never smoked it would be easy for me to say it's would be easy to give up but I know it's not.So everyone cross your fingers for me that he'll agree with me and Max will read that book and give up.
