Giving up smoking - Report in here!

I've been on the wagon since Sunday morning... but all this chat obout smoking is making me want one again! Or maybe that's because it's a friday?
 
Thought I'd tell you this story as a warning to peeps that you need to give up smoking now.

My friend's dad had been on holiday and came back with a bad cough. He went to the doc and was immediately referred to hospital where a scan showed he had a cancerous tumour in his lungs. He was told that day (Thursday) that he wouldn't survive the weekend. He died on Sunday. He didn't smoke himself but his wife does and he has been passively smoking for the past 30 or so years. His family are devastated, he was only 60. It's just so unbelievably sad and it's so preventable. :(

Its nearly finished now, and so is the pack :?

get through 1st 2 days it gets easier (with a patch).

reach week 2 and you'll be fine, but its when yr out that the hard one.
 
Thats the problem, been going out about three nights a week for the past month. Always have some left after the night out, so smoke them all to :?

Its my birthday night out tomorrow as well, and nearly all my mates smoke :?

Just want to cut back to smoking on nights out only, that'd be fine
 
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago a girl at the C_____ place who had lung cancer who had never touched a cig.

Christopher Reeve's (the late Superman) wife now has lung cancer and she's never smoked either.

I know a guy who's 95 years old who's smoked 60 a day for 70 years 8O

Cruel world.
 
take up running.

believe me after going for a mere 2 mile "jog" u soon know its bad for ya, and find out that yr blood flow is restricted to certain places.
 
I'm setting a date for when I get back from Ibiza, know there's no chance I wouldnt smoke over there.

Only started full time about 6 months ago after just smoking when I was out for 5 years previously :evil:
