Anyone here is struggling with smoking ?
Hi All
For some reason being in the ME makes it particularly harder to quit ,
I sat a date to quit which was the first of Jan this year , but fell off the wagon after two weeks
Does this place make you smoke more or make quitting harder or its just all in the head ?
share your thoughts / experiences with ciggies and whether you quit , relapsed or planning on quitting them

I one day decided to not have them in the day time. Just like that.
So stopped carrying them completely and made sure none were available at the work place for me. Honestly speaking it was hard only for 2 or 3 days, as I had the thought of looking forward to having a smoke with a cold one in my head the whole day.
Now if I am not having a beer, I dont need one. And sometimes can even go for days without a smoke. Its all in the head mate.
Its been over 10 years now I think. I dont mind other people smoking in front of me like the other 'quitters' who just have to make a scene when someone farts smoke in their direction. Hate 'sore quitters'

I've cut down as well. Can easily go through 20 a day if I'm honest.
Decided to stop smoking so much at work, now I'm in a different office I have just never let the routine start. I probably have 4-5 by home time instead of 12-15. It's made a huge difference.

as for me , I'd always go full turkey on weekends , just doesn't stick for more than 15 days at best , once I've stretched that for 2 months .
it seems like a curse , I'd always go back sucking on those cancer sticks .
Happy for you pal ! that is some discipline you've got right there

Re: Anyone here is struggling with smoking ?
I'd really like a super-light menthol. Friend of mine quit by going lighter and lighter until it was basically breathing. Then he found it didn't have the same appeal, so the whole - need to get up and do something was replaced with water / coffee / anything and didn't have the same struggle because the nicotine side had subsided over a long period. I guess...

Re: Anyone here is struggling with smoking ?
yeah , I tried the 1 by 1 Marlboro White , they were fine just not as smooth as Golds .
recently I've tried the all new dunhill slims with the receding filter (Gold not Silver ) and they taste heavenly especially with a good cup of freshly brewed coffee
certainly taste much better than the Swedish Nicorette that I've been chewing on and spitting occasionally ,
