If you remember the magazine "Australasian Post" then you must be close to my age, the aforesaid magazine use to advertise a book/programme to give up smoking, can't remember the details but I do recall I was allowed to smoke while I was reading. The basics were that I had to reprogram myself by reversing the smoking process by removing the cigarette from my mouth and replacing it in the box then back to my pocket. They stressed that your imagination is far stronger than your willpower so I had to imagine what my life/death would be like if I continued to smoke and what it would be like if I stopped and lived a healthy life. I haven't had a smoke since I read that book back in December 1975. Did the book work or did I just really want to give up? Damned if I know but I still don't smoke and I can't tell you how happy I am about that!!! well that's my 2 cents worth.

Worked for me and I didn't have nightmares. I had smoked for 20+ years up to 30 a day at my worst. My first attemp at quitting worked thanks to Zyban. Have not had a smoke in 7.5 years and I am thrilled! Mind you a doctor telling me I had the start of emphysema at the age of 35 was a great motivator.

down the road of the E-cig and it worked a treat. Buttered rum was my favourite flavour - inhale, throat hit, exhale vapour, I felt like I was still smoking....after 4 days I lost my cravings, put away the E-cig and have never looked back. I couldn't believe how easy it was, but I wasn't a heavy smoker, only about 10 per day but I have never missed it for a second.

This week I could easily have started smoking again but stayed strong. I used nicorette gum for six weeks and normal gum for a couple of years. I hate chewing gum so that habit was easily to kick. I have not noticed any difference in smell or taste and cigarette smoking by others does not bother me at all. The difference was in how I felt health wise!- Posted from rhpmobile

I used to be a major addict. I easily smoked 30 cigarettes a day during the week, and double that on the weekends. I loved everything about it and would rather smoke than eat. Then one week, while on night duty, I decided I just didn't want to do it anymore. When I got home from work early in the morning I tossed my ciggies, lighters and ashtrays in the bin. When I woke up I left them there. I decided to go cold turkey, which wasn't easy but doable. That was the year 2000 and I'm still a very happy non-smoker.

Being told I had mild empyshsema by 24 was pretty scary, wasn't scary enough though - only a year and a half later I have woken up to my god damned stupid self and now have been off the cigs for two weeks tomorrow. After 11 years with several attempts on quitting never getting any farther than 3 days with zyban, champix, patches, and that gum! Cold turkey. Haven't had cravings like I used to, I can drink alcohol without cravings. think it's mental state that helps a lot. I have had fellow colleagues trying their hardest to get me to smoke by blowing smoke into my face whenever possible or continuously offering me smokes. But this time I'm determined, not to knock them out - and not to take up the smokes, but just rather laugh at them for being so sad as to try and revert me back to their insecure levels. So your title dirty filthy cigarette smoking scum fits quite to my story. - Posted from rhpmobile

That if you smoke all your life you have a 50% chance of being dead before 70. It's also likely to be a pretty slow and shitty death. Stop thinking about your self for a minute... Would you really wish that on your family and friends? Those who love you??I bet they would like you around longer, happier and healthier..What spins me out about the few smokers I know is the incredible sense of denial they have about it..

I have never ever smoked in my life to date, and definitely won't dip my foot into it after witnessing how many health problems my late father had gone through and then passed away because of it! This is also why I am quite sensitive to being with or around smokers and certainly not happy to be a passive smoker! So more power to you all for wanting to quit for your own health and family sake, etc.

gave a 29 year/ 50 plus a day habit up by going cold turkey....it was difficult, and I was frustrating to be around....but I did it. no gums, zybans or anything.....just toughed it out on my own...... got up one morning and looked at my full pack of horizon milds......and screwed them into a ball and tossed it into the bin. never looked back, and since giving up, its been one improvement after another....the first being able to actually smell things again....and taste... I cant stand the smell now, it triggers an asthma attack.... my 'reward' for giving up has been developing adult asthma...yippee...

I was actually 19 when i stopped smoking. I thought it was only single guys that looked at pictures and didn't read profiles, or again like single guys, are you assuming that with a couples profile only the female half contributes here, lol.

I was lucky I guess. With each pregnancy I stopped cold turkey!! Slowly in between pregnancies I would succumb to the evil stick!! But never as heavy as I was originally - get up smoke and coffee for breakfast type deal. After my third child that New Year I announced that was it!!! I still love the smell of a match being lit hummmmmmm ..... But am now a reformed smoker! If people only knew how badly they smell and taste after smoking it would put them off. I work at a Doctor's surgery now - there are so many sad things that happen from smoking!! Is it really worth having your loved ones watch you die of lung cancer as you continue to smoke?? Meh for me I think not!! Gypsy- Posted from rhpmobile

to see pretty young girls, all dressed up nicely, driving to work in their neat little car, with a horrid cancer stick in their hands sucking in lungful after lungful of dirty filthy smoke, and for what reason is also beyond me, I admit I have been a sucker to it when I was younger, but since peer pressure is no longer an issue, I am happy to say that I no longer waste my money or heath on cigarettes. I quit using a packet of patches, on the first day I used a full patch, second and third days I cut one in half, I forget how I went from there, but with every new full patch I cut them smaller and smaller, call me a cheapskate but it worked a treat and I was done by the end of one pack. I think the new cigarette packets are awesome, it might not stop people from smoking, but it takes the glamour out of the old Benson & Hedges and the likes, they are all just the same now and also no longer in plain view every time you gas your car up or do the shopping.

That its the EX smokers here, more so than the non-smokers, that are more willing to dish out the vitriolic "disgusting, horrid, you filthy scumbag" type labels.... Are you still trying to convince yourselves you don't want one??? Yes I smoke, but I hardly think its justifiable to suggest that non-smokers and ex smokers are anything but human. - Posted from rhpmobile

Are you still trying to convince yourselves you don't want one??? Met people that still crave cigarettes 30 years after giving up. I've actually heard more than one person say: "If I live to be 75, I will start smoking again". I must be one of the very lucky ones. I couldn't possibly imagine ever lighting a cigarette again and never have cravings.
