for those of you who have quit smoking

[Eraser]

While I dispise smoking and find it quite easy to not even try it once, I do have a lot of respect for those that are able to quit.

No keeping it going is easy - but yeah, i'd say it takes a bit of effort to start smoking

[Nightshade]

You start smoking and quit, then you can call me a pussy.

I'm thinking of getting help in the form of nicotine patches/gum this time, even though i'm against it in principle :\

Pussy. :icon26:

Resolve is the key.

I quit 19 months ago now, and yet I still get a craving every once in a while, or a dream about sneaking a quick ciggy.
I also quit booze at the same time, partly to remove one of the things that increases the need to smoke, partly because I'm fed up with the whole booze culture in the UK at the moment. It's generally assumed in Britain that you can't have a good time without having a drink.

A month later, I found I was drinking too much caffeine to compensate, so I cut that out too.

Granted, I'm lardier now, but much more happy about myself. I never have a hangover, I never have problems sleeping, and I'm not forever hacking up gack.

I know
I'll try again sometime soon.

i really dont think i smell, i know smokers cant smell it but im pretty conscience about the way (and others) smell and everytime i sniff myself all i can smell is deodrant

now if i smell my fingers right after a fag then i can smell it, so i dont think i smell

the teeth i brush regulary, i know they aint pearly whites but still

If you're a regular smoker then trust me, you smell. :icon26:
I quit 2 1/2 years ago after having smoked for 22. Took about a year for my smelling sense to have improved noticeably.
With my new and improved sense of smell I quickly realised something I had been oblivious to for many years; up close, smokers smell like old ashtrays.
