Had a e-cig, shite and gave it away. I've worked out I can smoke 20 a day. Lambert & Butler are £7.45p a packet = £2,652.20p a year. That's it, I'm packing in for good, I've got twelve left and after the last one that's it. Anybody else fancy packing in and no telling lies, see who's got the most willpower?

I'm on 14 months without now, and for all the nicorettes/patches I tried before with no success, this attempt was based due to similar figures you just posted and served as inspiration to keep going, nopatches no e cig just stopped and counted the money on this http://smokefree.nhs.uk/quit-tools/calculate-the-cost/ and calculated the health benefits day by day with this http://whyquit.com/whyquit/a_benefits_time_table.html each one of them was a target coupled with the money saved in a tin and before i knew it I'd done two week and had a few quid spare

 

it's fucking hard at first but you just need to steel yourself to it if you're serious

good luck

I'll have another go BB.

Do you want me to calculate yours in new pink shirts?

Yes.

Cold turkey. Every fucker I know who has managed to quit has been this way.

 

Best of luck BB.

£7.45 x 365 =£2719.25

Good luck. Done it several times over the last 40 years. Longest period I ever smoked was only 3 years though. Tis all willpower in the end, same as dieting, laying off the booze or getting back into shape. If you want it enough you will do it.

That's how I did it after many failed attempts.

 

It sounds daft but the best advice I can offer is to enjoy it. Get a buzz out of the fact that you're getting healthier everyday and know that the withdrawals are temporary. They're nowhere near as bad as people make out once you've got your head around how they work. In fact, they're so negligible that they don't even wake you up when you're asleep.

 

Go for it, best of luck and it will literally be the best decision around your own future health you have ever made!

Good luck BB, if your head is in the right frame of mind that's more than half the battle.

 

I went cold turkey, first time I went 9 years then stupidly started again, coming up to 4 years this October.

£7.45 x 365 =£2719.25

I never had LW down as a mathematical genius! :-)

I'm sure I read somewhere, that stats "prove" that you are less likely to succeed quitting smoking without some type of nicotine replacement therapy.

I used the E cigs and they worked for me, 21 months without a cigarette now - piece of piss.

I'm still on the e-cigs but still smook a few real cigs when I'm out on the lash.

 

I've turned a £200 per month habit into a £70 habit.  I also feel a lot healthier and don't cough at all in a morning.  I'm happy with that.

6 years 8 months. Patches at first but I'm convinced it's more to do with mindset that nicotine coursing through your veins

 

I still have moments where I could kill for a ciggie but always temper that with the thought that I've wasted 6 years and besides, I ain't going into a shop paying 6 or 7 quid on 20 cigs.

just cant spell

 

got a O level in maths and one in geography

I'd love to, really want to try this year. Kent is right, just need the willpower.

That's not true. You are more likely to successfully remain nicotine free at 24 months by cold turkey than by any other method. I know that because I work for the NHS and part of my job is smoking cessation.

He instantly realised that an odd number of days multiplied by an odd amount of pence had to give odd pence answer.

in.

 

last packet today. promised my missus id give it ago, again.

Fair play to the smokers who try and quit, it's the ones who don't try and say stuff like "I like smoking" even though it wastes money and it's killing them overtime, dirty habit, should be banned imo. but obviously won't, financially and people will go nuts.

Is it worse than drinking? Or should that be banned too? How many tobacco related incidents do the Police have to deal with?

but I do enjoy smoking.

Not sure about police, but what about doctors/nurses, how many patients do they see because of smoking, how many other people could they be seeing (people with injuries/ill-health not self imposed)

Fucking loads.

 

But have you ever been down A&E at 2am? Least cancer chancers aren't kicking off with medical staff.

 

What about all the burger and pie eating fat cunts?

but I do enjoy smoking.

 

Oh I'm sure everyone who smokes loves a fag, why else would you smoke,  anyway even if it was banned they'd still get a way of getting like druggies do.

:lol: Carlos, I think we could go on a while with this, all the way down to a grain of rice.

Oh aye. I think they should ban the selling of sausage barms for £1. Least for a packet of fags, lots of money going back into the system.
