    Keep it up, my father died at 34 from smoking.
    That's tragically young
    I met someone a few years ago who's circulation in his legs was so bad from smoking he had to use crutches. He was only about 30

        Coming up to 3 years now. Not tempted at all. Ban in public places was a good thing. Now if my mates go out for a fag all I feel is sorry for them followed by a slight sense of disgust at the smell when they come back in.
        Hard Brexit now!

          Nearly 10 years for me now. Although I did have 1 relapse when asked to light a err, umm, exotic dancer's fag at a go live party.

            I still go out with the smokers... but thats partly cause I'm getting old and need to escape from the noise.

              Only the Alan Carr book but it does seem much easier than expected this time to " reprogramme " 20 years of smoking, perhaps i'm just ready to stop now and get some energy back.

                the after-sex smell puts you off your pint and pie?

                    I've just managed 2.5 hours but can feel myself giving in in the next 10 mins.

                    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                      Congratulations. You've broken the back of it now.

                      3.75 years for me now, but I was forced to stop - sort of.

                      Still craved one though for a long, long time. Still get the occasional pang if I'm around smokers.
