After 8 gruelling days without any cig's i am wondering when i can consider myself a non smoker??
i worked out that as i was smoking about 30 fag's a day, at approx £7.45 per 20, in 25 years ( at todays prices) i would spend £100,00.00. wow. |

Having not had a cig for about 2 months now I decided that I will always be a smoker but just not had one for a long time. For me it takes away the pressure of changing to non smoker. |

Got myself an e-cigarette yesterday in a more determined effort to stop. Although I have got myself down to about 2 packs a week I think it's time to give up completely. |

Well done on stopping. Me and my hubby have also stopped. It's been 1 week and 3 days since we last had one. I asked him the same question as that last night lol |

I'm fairly confident as I've been off the fags since August 2010, but call myself an ex-smoker.....once I hit the 2 year mark in a couple of months, I'm gonna consider myself a non-smoker 
Well done all you lot who've given up, I will have saved round about £5k at today's prices when I hit 2 years, it's paid for me a few extra holidays  |

I stopped smoking 64 years ago and the smell of cigarette smoke makes me feel ill. Remember this - who wants to kiss a smoker? Keep it up, you'll live longer if you don't smoke! |

massive hugz and stuff to all of you, I stopped 4 years ago and have to say it was one of the good decisions that I occassionally make. I used some new tablets that were out at the time but the side effects made me so ill I just told the gp I would give up without them, which I managed to do.
mwah, xxx  |

that is how i feel, the pressure of never smoking again is too hard to bear, but just currently not smoking ( hopes that stay's that way forever ).
good luck to all. |

Having smoked since the age of 12, I still enjoy a cigarette and at the moment, don't have that desire to stop. 2 years ago, I had a pulmonary embolism...2 bloodcots settled in my right lung after passing through my heart. I stopped smoking for the first 5 days in hospital as obviously wasn't allowed to leave the ward. After that when I was told to move about ( in my rather dashing surgical support stockings) I would wander down to the main entrance, dragging my drip trolley and light up. I was given patches to help me stop smoking, and several bollockings from the doctors and nurses, but even after being on deaths door, I can't and don't want to stop yet.
Besides, if I stop now, I'd turn into one of those patronizing, conceited ex smokers and start telling other smokers how I am so much better than they are because I managed to quit!.....and I couldn't possibly do that.  |

I'm in the process of cutting down, ive cut out the 'boredom' ciggies an already smoke less than half of what i used to (approx 15/16 per day). When i'm getting the urge i try and grab a piece of fruit to eat, its like double being good then! The hardest thing for me is the habit and the fact i do enjoy smoking, but after 18 years of smoking i think i should seriously consider quitting!! |

I stopped 11 months ago, no ciggie since then. I still get urges and enjoy the odd passive smoke. So I'm calling myself an ex smoker. I will only call myself a non smoker when I don't have any cravings anymore. |

I actually go out with the non smokers for a chat. It doesn't even bother me that much, I like the puffs lol. I don't enjoy being in a closed room with smokers as my clothes and hair get smelly. Have tried snogging a smoker since and it was well off putting though. |
