The first week over

[oracleslave]

No problem now with the danger times - first thing in the morning, after food and while boozing.

Going from 40 a day to zero with no help from patches or similar was scary but not as hard as I though it would be.

I was on a similar number per day. I used plenty of nicorette gum in the early days of stopping though.

Off to Luxembourg Friday to stock up, can bring back 800 at a ridiculously low price (about €3 a packet) along with 10kg of coffee and petrol at around €1 per litre.

Now that's what I call durty spekulation!

Giving up after smoking that amount per day must have quite a marked and immediate effect for the better on health and fitness?

No cigarettes

First four days were hardest but no problem now.

Jolly well done

Should be pretty marked and immediate effect for the better on ones wallet!

Didn't really notice an immediate improvement to be honest. When I was a smoke I used to appease my guilt with 4 heavy gym sessions a week. When I quit, I actually got quite lazy as I didn't have the guilt pushing me to exercise.

I think it took me about 6 months of coughing "stuff up" to really clear my lungs and get properly cardiovacularly (not a word but you know what I mean) fit again. I haven't smoked in around 10 years so my body apparently should have just about healed itself by now.

Congrats!

Fags kill my father when he was only 34, I think the smoking bans are working.
