Congrats guys on your new non smoking lifestyle. When i quit i found atomic fireballs very helpful. They are sold here in the states. They are hot cinnamon candies that you suck on.
I think Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms should be a convenience store, not a government agency.

There is no problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives.

I'm into my sixth week and I can also report my BP has gone down to 156/93 still a little high but hey! that's without meds  ;)

Apparently when I had my carbon monoxide levels checked at the start they were 35% which by all accounts having blood using only 90 oxygen,which would explain some raise in blood pressure so I'm told it's now 2%  :D


oh I should have said my BP doesn't go to 170/100 any more which was the official reading,I think I said 170+/90+
 in my first post  ;)

Congrats to both of you for doing so well  :cheers:

I haven't used my nicotine e-cig thing for a week due to the flu, but I'm not really missing the smoking thing right now anyway. It's all about your state of mind to it I guess.

Those e-cigs are good I heard,do they give the same drag sensation like real ones?  :think:

The first couple of week are the worst, for me anyway, cause I really enjoyed smoking..  :P

Yes, bizarrely good! They are strange, but a damn site better than the toxic alternative.



Allen, believe me I know! I have given up a few times over the years, for up to a year at a time... just not very good at staying away long term.

Update..  :)
Today I haven't been smoking for 11 months and it's 32 days since I chewed my last piece of nicotine gum, so technically I'm clean... ;)

 
Move along people...  :D :D
