Insane principal putting the price up to stop people smoking...has no impact on wealthy smokers and really punishes poor people who don’t give up...typical Aust Govt stupidity...but lets not go there....
The next one was wanted an operation nothing serious more cosmetic, penis enlargement......only joking...lol...anyway was told wasn’t going to happen unless I stopped smoking. So both of us gave up me a day earlier and have lasted till now without smoking at all...I never smoked the last cigarette of the packet and it’s still in the glove box today..
Its been a battle often feeling like one but that happens less and less as time goes on...but I don’t want to be in the grip again and know one is too many and a thousand isn’t enough.
I think a good way to stop smoking is say I’m not going to smoke tomorrow...after that I’m going to reassess...maybe go into another day...etc or if I get to 80 I might start smoking again..lol

Well done ! I think thats the only way to quit - cold turkey !

FWIW i’m still a smoker ..... but lol

I did “quit” twice in the past lol

It’s the first 24/48 hours that i find impossible - the first 24 really.

After that i was fine .... for about 4-6 weeks both times - first time i just thought sure i wanna try one see how disgusting it is, im so over it that was easy 1 will be no trouble.

Next time had a pretty stressfull life event thought f&$ it im going to buy some smokes i need 1 to chill out.

1 really is a trap and will drag straight back in
