don't bother sending off for the kit that's being advertised on the telly unless you're 6.

why whats in the kit... ** lights up cig **

A toothbrush and a frustration thing that breaks too easily and stickers to put on a chart and other stuff that I didn't get to see cos it got thrown away.

A toothbrush and a chart makes me wanna give up right now...lol

i got hypnotized 3 times

I'm trying at the moment although I think I should have left it til I'm having a less angst time - or I should have done the other half in first cos he ain't doing so well.

Ta for that Uggers, won't bother getting it.

then i light one up without realising lol

i just cant do ittttttttttttttttt,

but hey them kits sound brill baby S wld love the stickers, were do i get one from hahaha xxx

I'd give up trying if i was you, if it isn't something you really want to do then it just ain't going to happen

sunshine stickers for a good day and cloudy ones for a bad one lol. That sort of thing:)

Stray, I have to use patches - couldn't attempt it without ;)

Julie, I do want to but it's versus my will power. Can't flipping afford to smoke these days;)

my method worked for me in 1978, I decided I wasnt going to BUY any more, I was on roll ups at the time......

mind you methinks the damage was already done, for I didn't become that world beating athlete I was hoping for........

I have been looking into the e-cigarette's and I am tempted as you can smoke them anywhere, even on a plane :))

As for the stickers I can give myself one any time. lol

Good for you, Bob - lots of people seem to manage it by will power alone.

Suzy, if that's one of the electric things that has smoke and everything, I quite like them - my mate has used one for a couple of years now.

Unfortunately I am on the lash tonight, so I don't fancy my chances

There the ones :) I am looking to buy a starter kit for £19.99.

Have fun tonight Uggs :))

about 8 years ago both of us gave up with ziban only lasted 12 mths

lynda, belive me i smoke much less, when out int his weather lol, altho i have cut back since the ban, before i loathe the cold lol

That's the thing, seriously, you cannot nag someone into not smoking, it is a genuine addiction, and has a strong grip on some. We all know the harm it does, we all know we stink, we all know we shouldn't do it, we dont' even really WANT to do it, but the willpower to give up only comes with genuinely wanting to give up. If you don't want to do it, if you're not ready, then no amount of willpower or nagging will make you do it.

People who have never smoked, often don't understand what the addiction is, and how it can affect you. OK the effects of the withdrawal may not be as severe as alcohol or drugs, but they can drive you absolutely mad with the cravings....and that is when willpower is compromised.

enough to drive someone out for a fag Lynda? lol

What I dont understand about you Uggs is that you seem to have a fairly hectic social life that involves numerous visits to places that do not allow smoking (by that I mean generally the pub - lol) so where exactly do you find you smoke the most?

If you cant smoke at the pub, at the cinema, library, restaurants etc. then the time and opporunity available to smoke is limited surely?

I think you need to expand your social life considerably to involve never being anywhere where smoking MIGHT BE allowed and thereby cutting out the opportunity to light up!

Keep sticking on the patches love, you'll get there in the end. :)))

Off for a fag now - enjoy your evening.

Lynda, I think you should set up a residential course for GR smokers to quit......then keep their money that they would have spent on cigarettes as payment. You could throw in the odd cake or pudding to keep them happy.
