I packed up about 5 months ago. Found it quite easy. Instead of a smoke I had a few biscuits, a few sweets or a small chocolate bar instead. The problem is I went up to either a pack of biscuits, a pack of sweets or a large bar of chocolate instead of a smoke. I put on 3 stone in 3 months I am not exactly small so I got quite big. I decided I needed to lose weight so I started smoking again. I have lost 1 1/2 stone in 2 months. No diet needed
as luck would have it - i go to spain quite often and buy them there, for me and the missus - works out about £3.80p a pkt of 20. the spanish moan like hell about the price of them over there - just goes to show the tax that is levied on each packet by our goverment.
I know it's a bad habit but I support the city which either sends you to drink or smoke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I gave up 4 years ago after my 3rd heart attack (I've had a double bypass and also stents inserted). Got bored a bit lately and tried a small cigar. I thought I could handle it. Now back on bloody ciggies! :facepalm: (my missus don't know though! She smokes like a trooper so doesn't smell it on me!) I'm still trying to give up again.
Gave up 15 years ago would never go back on them even if they were free. Never felt better and since giving up not had a day off sick in 9 years. Smoking is a mugs game.
