Don't be a quitter.

[suityou01]

Technically and factually unsound.

Cold Turkey for me. My stats are:

You've now been a non-smoker for:
0 years, 3 months, 20 days, 6 hours & 0 minutes
In that time you've saved over £441.00
You've avoided smoking over 1323 cigarettes.
You've extended your life by over 6.43 days.

Since you've quit smoking:
After 20 minutes, your blood pressure drops back to normal
In 8 hours, the carbon monoxide levels in your bloodstream drop by half, and oxygen levels return to normal
In 48 hours, your change of having a heart attack decreases. All nicotine has left your system. You sense of taste and smell return to a normal level
In 72 hours, your bronchial tubes relax and your energy levels increase
In 2 weeks, your circulation increases and continues to improve for the next 10 weeks
In 2 month coughs, wheezing and breathing problems dissipate as your lung capacity improves by 10%

Cold Turkey for me too, worked rather than a long drawn out reduction of nicotine or using patches.

I do have the occasional lapse.

I can see three separate instances of a "Join" button on that page. Big, orange, buttony things with the words "Join now!" on them in big, white letters. Have another look

Worked for me - not smoked for 18 months now and it's been 12 months since my last nicorette mint!

Nice one, thanks! You are the first for me, so apologies for dissing NRT .

I think it was the method I used
The tiny mints for when out and about and drinking. They gave a massive hit of nicotine which immediately killed all cravings (I had to drop to the low dosage ones straight away)
I used the gums when driving as traffic jams were always a smoking hot spot for me so I needed something that I could draw out.

You're supposed to cut down on the mints and gum and then stop after 3 months. I just decided to use them for as long as I needed to. After 6 months I was sick of them but I had broken the smoking habits and routines.

I'm planning to quit (again) when the current stock of duty free baccy runs out. However, I refuse to stop smoking on any of these non-smoking days/weeks/months things as I'll give up on my terms not some other do-gooder anti-everything-anyone-enjoys-that-is-bad-for-you types terms.

What will you do with the time?

Wow! I gave up about 5 times - sometimes for months - and it was the lapse that got me back. I evertually realized I was either a smoker or a non-smoker. Since 22nd Dec 1989 I have not had a single one.
