I imagine if I were smoking I'd be an addict and unable to quit. It's not as if smokers don't already know that they're killing themselves. Who knows though? Maybe they're effective for some people or at least help push them to seek what help is out there.

Honestly??? No, as bad as it sounds. I am a smoker and I have kids. I to have also tried most things including Zyban, which did work till I lost my grandad and I was weak enough to reach for the ciggarettes again.

I admit I have no willpower. I hate the smell, the taste, the cost, the health dangers, at 30 I've been smoking 17 yrs.

Do I wanna stop? yes, Can I ? no

i seem to remember seeing either in the press or on tv sometime ago, that a chemist did a study on tabbacco and why it's adictive, and found that tobbacco in it's pure form isn't as it contains nothing that could lead to an addiction, but refined tobbacco as used in cigarette's on sale has so many additives in it that some combine to make a substance that is addictive, so are cigarette companie's deliberately selling a known drug under licence by all goverment's ??? and if so why don't smoker's get the same help that drug addict's recieve ?

I smoked from the age of 14 to erm 5 years ago. packed in using Zyban. was never tempted even when I had some really dark moments in my life. Then June last year I went on holiday with a group of women who all smoked. Started by smelling them, then lighting them and then voila there I was...Patsey out of Ab Fab with the cig in my gob first thing in the morning.

So the other month I went to Fag Ends and went on Champix. OMG I wanted to throw myself under a train. I was still smoking but so incredibly depressed. Plus I felt constantly nauseous. So I stopped them. Right now is not really a good moment to pack the cigs in. But when my life settles again, I would like to stop and hopefully encourage Patrick to do the same.

Then as I said, will put on profile for all smoker to feck off coz they are dirty smelly beasts....hahaha!!!!!!!

There's a massive ongoing NHS support setup for quitting smoking isn't there? And yes, cigarette companies deliberately added addictive chemicals to fags for many years.

Over 4000 chemicals to each ciggie.

In order for it to be addictive.

Normal tobabcco is not addictive.

If cigarettes were attempted to be introduced into the UK today ( IF they were not here already) then they would NEVER NEVER be allowed to be sold, they are already worse than some class "a"drugs,(in terms of the contents, not just tobacco).

They would be subject to testing that the companies managed to avoid in the past.

.

.

However as approx 85% of the cost of cigs are tax, thats about £4.25 ave, they sell approx 2 1/2 million per DAY, thats over £100 million going into the govt treasury, they KNOW its killing millions, but £100 million per day pays for a LOT of "hush"money

Read the research, you are not enjoying it.

What your body is actually saying to you is thank you for avoiding the 100% inevitable pain and suffering that it's going to endure from being separated from this addictive substance.

It's a very long way from enjoyment, in fact it's likened more to a feeling of absolute relief, in the same manner that a junkie gets from their fix

If it spreads to you fingers your gonna be stuffed eh lol..

The coughing is your body getting rid of the crud.. after 3 days your now clear of the nicotine.. so now when you go and have one its just plain lack of willpower..

I dont want to stop smoking it is legal so why shouldn't I smoke.

Obesity costs the government more than health problems caused by smoking.

Alcohol abuse costs the government morethan healt problems caused by smoking.

I neither drink to excess (a bottle of bacardi a month mostly over 2 months) nor am I obese.

Non-smokers now have the law they wanted to give them non-smoking public places, isn't it about time they found something else to moan about your becoming so tiresome with your anti smoker droning.

I packed it in last November after 33 years of smoking and just got fed up with my house smelling, me smelling and the restrictions being a smoker puts on your life. Having to make sure you didn't run out of ciggies, going outside for a puff and being concious of the sneers you get from non smokers. So I put my arse into gear and was determined to end my addiction. I had my last ciggie on Oct 26th and despite my father having a stroke and then dying in November, I didn't slip back into it and am so glad I packed it in. When I think how much money I've spent over the 33 years I smoked, I kick myself. Now, being an ex smoker, I'm afraid I've become an anti smoker and would never meet someone off here that smokes. The smell just turns my stomach now.

Good luck to anyone who is trying to pack it in, I just used to think how wonderful it was that my house was smelling lovely and all the money I saved. £2,000 since October! It went part toward my new (and very sexy) bathroom!!!!

This very threads existance verifies what I have said along with some of the comments here, for instance "it's a filthy habit" is there a thread about over indulgence in alcohol ? is there a thread about the problems of obesity ? is there a thread about the problems to the public caused by the chewing (and discarding) of gum ? ...... I dont think so

Yep its addictive, I know that same as any other smoker, there has been times in the past I wish I never of started but currently I do actually enjoy it.

No intention of packing up and as I have a draw full of tobacco not going to run out and feel the affects of withdrawal

Even though I smoke, I have a fairly healthy life style, I don't drink, I exorcize, I eat a healthy diet ... so have to do something bad

Tony,

Not for me to criticise how you live your life, that was not my intention. All I was doing, pedant that I am, was pointing out what research thinks with regard to enjoyment.

Here's a way to give up.......... have kidney stones with an abcess, week in hospital, last thing on my mind was a cigerette........... (and for anyone that wants to know, kidney stones are as painful as giving birth!)

Bruv said you haven't had a cigerette for a week why not try and stop,

not had one since, don't say I have given up, it's like being an alcholic, I know if I ever have one, I'll be back smoking again........

Good luck to you all, and just to say I don't feel any healthier!!

Ive stopped

Well ok and a few slip ups.

But carrying on regardless.

But have to say...

Smoking as an addiction is quite selfish and no you dont consider

Kids when doing it.

Well only to a point.

I wouldnt ever smoke while in same room as my son though as he got older his choice would be sometimes to sit with me but i always put the thing out.

He had always had a bad chest and suffered when with his mates who smoked.

So wouldnt do it.

Its like any addiction.

You have to do it for yourself.

with me, emotional blackmail never worked

I never fall out with anyone especially over such a trivial thing, we all do our own things that we maybe shouldn't and thats mine

I do find it funny though that some people think of smoking as a weakness.. does that meen drinking is a weakness.. after all, they can both affect your health

because there are far more smoker's in this country than drug abuser's and the goverment is actively trying to regulate smoking as it does drug use, a drug user can book into a rehab centre and get all the help and back up thats needed including 1-2-1 counciling a smoker goes to his doctor and is given a batch of patch's or what ever and sent on his way, no back up no counciling and no rehab centre, even people with problems that can't kill them get better back up help than a smoker
