Hi,

My name is andy and i am planning on quiting smoking tomorrow, i know i am from the UK, but hopefully you guys wont mind me doing this on here, as i cant find anything similar for the uk.

Ive been smoking for 6years, i dont know why i started but i wish i never had, recently ive been getting really bad coughs and the whole smoking thing is getting me down. I have tried before and lasted a mighty 3 days, i am planning on going cold turkey, ive tried herbal cigs in the past, the gum, and neither worked, so wish me luck and i welcome anyone reading this. (or till me to Mod cutUK if u want)

Good luck Andy. I have tried many times and it never sticks. Maybe you should look into e-cigs. I am considering it.

I am an x-smoker for about nine yrs now.....this is what did it for me. someone had told me that I am the one smoking not the cigarette. I am in control of my actions, and dont let it beat u... good luck friend,,, go cold turkey, it is only bad for a few weeks.

Well nearly done 12hours, cold turkey not going to bad, was my usual times oh habit when i wanted another, thought of hetting an e-cig but not really taken by it, so just trying the hard way, got s big meal in a bit which i know as soon as i have finished i will want a cig, at least i havent got any. On the plus side i hav football tonite, last time i tried to play after quitting i was coughing up some monsters lol wish me luck.

Just back from football, and i bet you cant guess what i really really want, yep a Mod cut. but i havent got one, all the shops are shut so i hope i can just drift to sleep easily. I dont think it is going to be easy but fingers crossed, then it starts all again tomorrow

Yeah good luck.. You can definitely quit smoking. Above all if you feel that it is difficult to quit smoking then you can try with e-cigars.

Hey Mod, that word is not offensive. The term faggot means a bundle of sticks meant to be burned, and in the UK they use the diminutive fag for cigarette. Why must we kill the Englis language because a select few butcher it into offensive slang?

Start to read every page and article on whyquit.com Also get the Allen Carr book. Good luck, you can do it (if you really want to)

I second the Allen Carr book.

I bought the Allen Carr book, and I did quit for a whole three days. I didn't plan very well for the three airplane rides that week I decided to quit. I had three packs of gum and still after a very rocking landing on my third jet, I had to bum just one.

And I hated myself for it.

Allen was from the UK, and smoked was it 60 or 100 cigarettes a day? I recommend that book to you. It will help a lot.

Good luck to you Andy. Good luck to us all in this battle.
