Giving up sucking on Fags:

[Big Dave]

I used to smoke a packet of Winfield blue every day.

I went to a hypnotist. One vist. $30 and have not had a cig since. - 15 years.

Hypnotherapy worked for me and the co-pilot - she had the same result.

You have to want it to work and it quite likely will.

Factor in inflation and it'll be cheaper to keep smoking bro.

my ex was a smoker, and a gambler, an alcoholic and a whore...

So apart from all that, was she okay?

Good on you. There might be a local quit program in your area so ring any doctor. In Southland the Health Board set up a free Quit Smoking service run by a practise nurse. I used it with success.

For me, I had to make the decision to quit and work towards it. I smoked about 10 a day which helped. Reduced that to 6 for a couple of days, then no more. Used the patches which worked suprisingly well. Having the support of the nurse helped 'cos I felt like I'd promised her to do it.

The main thing is to come to the point in your head of no more smoking. If you still want to, you won't stop. So you need to believe that stopping is achievable and will happen.

$30? That's one packet nowdays isn't it?

Cost isn't an issue with Dover - he rolls his own..picks up fag ends others have thrown away and takes the baccy out of them for use later.

How else could he afford the wear and tear on Gixxers?

I won't advocate the use of nicotine replacement - I chewed nicotine gum for 6 years while trying to quit - cost me a fortune coz I was chewing gum and smoking cigs...it's now been 5 months since last nicotine intake and I'm still coming down!

Never tried hypnosis - cold turkey worked best for me.

Well I've never taken up smoking, so I can't offer any advice.

But congrats on making a smart move
