I need cyanide caps!!

I've been trying to give up again too - the two times I er, 'successfully' gave up in the past, I went cold turkey too.
Good luck, and stay away from the pub if you want to succeed. If you can last a Friday night without a cig, then you have succeeded.

[I'm guessing your mates are like mine, and ALL smoke?]

My uncle was told to give up by his doctor when he was in his fifties. He started eating mints. From then until the day he died (in his late 80s), he always seemed to have a packet of Polos ('lifesavers' for the yanks).
"Fancy a Polo-mint, Adam" he would ALWAYS say...
[that last bit wasnae strictly necessary]

OT:
When you're a kid, you tend to associate things (and smells, sights etc) very strongly with people. I always think of him when I have Polos :lol:

Har har!

Which reminds me - in Britain, you could quite happily go into a pub and say, "Do you do fags behind the bar?"

I always wonder what would happen if you tried that in the US!  :lol:

If I'm going to quit, they need to put me under, and keep me unconsious for a week.

Hey T-bone, how's things?

I'm trying to stop smoking as well, doesn't help when all my friends smoke as well, both my housemates, and both my sisters, grrr....

Two things I found helpful when I gave up in the past (for 6 months and for 9 months):
- Don't tell anyone you're giving up [a) Because actions speak louder than words b) Because, seriously, smokers may try and help you fail :-(]
- Sod all these replacement patches, chewing gum etc, just do it cold turkey...

Aww, sorry to hear.

I'll never forget one of my all time favourite Amiga.org quotes came from you in a heated debate with someone else on here.
"I slept with my wife-to-be last night. Have a nice wank you looser[sic]?"
:roflmao:

I haven't smoked today!
Yet.

I got smashed last night and have spent most of the day in bed  sleeping off the hangover. I was offered a rollie earlier, and turned it down, but now I'm getting cravings.....

Tomorrow night I'm gonna try and pull, a lady-friend might, err take my mind of the tobacco ;-)

Drink from a bottle of ice cold water until you can't drink any more.  Seems to work for me each time I get a craving.

If you pull, what about the obligatory post-coital smoke?

It's the law! ;-)

:lol:
In any case, the likelihood that she will smoke is quite high...
