Nope. Gone to the site just now and the big orangey buttons are now there. All signed up.

No. Not there. I'm on iPad 3 using safari.

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

I do have the occasional lapse.

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.

You've extended your life by over 6.43 days.

What will you do with the time?

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.

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.

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

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%

+1

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

I do have the occasional lapse.

Good idea I think - easier to give up if the country is behind you!
