Giving up smoking!!!

My mum found my lighter and fluid and initially thought I was sniffing!! I was like - no I'm smoking - and they still thought I was sniffing! My dad used to smoke and when I was 15, when we were out one day, he said to me, look if you're going to do it and insist on not giving up, then do it in front of me, and light one up for me at the same time (as he was driving) and that gave me a lot of respect for him. He knew that if he tried to force me to give up, and would do it even more! I am so glad that I don't anymore though, I wouldn't take it up again. I never realised how bad my clothes etc smelt until I put on an old coat and smelt it - it went straight in the bin!!

i could never smell it on me when i smoked!!!

I couldn't either, it was only when I stopped that I could smell it - :sick:

i have noticed it since the smoking ban came out over here, before when i ust to go out and say if i got up the next day the smell of smoke of my hair and clothes was horrible, but now its not like that cause there's no smoking in the pubs which is good in that sense but horrible when you have to go outside for a smoke

I go to play snooker on a Saturday night. The smoking is bad enough, but then the whiff of spliff starts coming as well.

I smoke and yes I do know it's a terrible habit. I don't plan on quitting though because I've become accustomed to it. I can't stand normal cigarettes though. I have to have Lamburt and Butler menthol and I can only smoke a few per week. I can't have a lot because they're absolutely disgusting and make my breath stink. I always have to have a Polo afterwards and a spray of breath freshener. I don't know why I do it then but it's probably the habit I've become accustomed to not the cigarettes.

yeah id say it is surely it easier for you to give up if you only have a few. think of your baby

It probably wouldn't be as hard for me to give up no but I'm not going to because it's just something I have to do now.

why do you have to do it??

I understand where WQ is coming from Debs.....I was the same before I gave up. You know the damage that it can do, but you "need" it. I always found that my worst time of night to smoke was before bed and would chain smoke 2 or 3 cause I would have this wierd thing where I knew that I wouldn't be able to have any more till the next day! Its a strange one and I wouldn't be able to completely describe it, but I know what WQ means...
