Go for it. Electronic cig is what I use. It is more a substitution (maintenance treatment) and less a detox. I saved money and my lungs from tar but I still get nicotine in my blood. Champix should be monitored by a physician. You need mental stability before starting, it might be stressful. Zyban is another option.
Well it was a good day. I faulted only once . Had one cig but it took me 4 hours to smoke it. Tomorrow will be better. From a pack and a half to one, I think that's ok . Thanks for all the tips. It really does help.
it sounds a bit harsh to say, BUT you have to NOT smoke ! going without for long periods and then allowing yourself 'just a puff or two' is NOT giving up ! it's just torture my Doctor said this to me and it was a defining moment in my quest to stop. smoke your last one then you have to get it in your head somehow that ~ YOU ARE A NON-SMOKER (not someone who hasn't had a ciggy for x amount of time !) it's very hard , good luck sir

I threw a whole pack of smokes away the morning I woke to quit! No here and there as you will just want another here or there. Good luck Steve. Text me if you need. I still have urges I just know I'm stronger then them!Ash's mobile on the move.
Yep I can't stand the smell of it now BUT I still crave them. I also can't stand to be in a vehicle with a smoker. So nasty! Or people to stand around and smoke close to me. Yuck! I get a killer headache when I smell it also. Time makes all better!Edit: Another thing I've found is gas stations or anywhere to buy smokes easy avoid! I use to only go to a gas station to get gas and wouldn't dare walk in as it made me what smokes more. Just little things I found to help me. Make sure everyone knows your quitting and tell them to NOT smoke around you. Ash's mobile on the move.
