Giving up smoking

[Euro-commuter]

DOn't forget your metabolism will drop and hence you will gain weight.

Don't listen to that devil, Sally-Anne. If you can kick the weed, you can fix the weight later, it's not as hard as giving up.

I dont think I started cause I was weak....I started cause I was a tart, and all the sexy lads smoked round the back of the bike sheds

Ahhhh, happy days...

The lads who were cool then are not the same ones who are cool now....

The secret to giving up is to actually want to - not because you feel you should.

The wife and I gave up twenty years ago. Simply threw the cigs in the bin one day, and never smoked again.

As TonyEnglish says above, break the habits. We also stopped going to the pub for the first couple of months, and started doing the washing-up by hand (after dinner cravings - you can't light up when your hands are in the sink!). All sorts of stuff like that. Do whatever you have to, to divert your attention from the cravings. But if all that fails, you can still fall back on the fact that you really don't want to smoke.

Giving up smoking is easy. Just don't do it ever again.

Best way to give up is everytime you buy a packet of cigarettes, stick the filter ends up your (or your friends) ar$e and replace in packet.

Smoking makes you look cool.

Only if you don't have a personality. Oh I see what YOU mean!
