Default Re: I want to quit smoking but i fail everytime

I started when 18 , pack a day for the next 10 years until smoking was banned in the office in 1990 (aged 28) . Then smoked around 10 a day (20 on weekends). Quit a few times but only lasted 6 months tops. Gave up totally in 2008 aged 46 , used hypnotherapy.

Don't miss it at all.

What I notice most about being a non smoker now is how bad the smell of smoke is on people. I can now understand what my misses used to complain about. Especially hate it when someone who's just had a smoke gets on a train and sits next to me . It wreeks

While I've always been pretty fit and been a keen runner (despite being a smoker) I do notice that I suffer a lot more bronchitis as i've got older , which is no doubt attributed in most part to once being a smoker. Wish I'd stopped much earlier for that reason.

Mate, if you're 29 give it up NOW !

EDIT: I tried what Smurf said (ie having a packet and lighter on hand) . That was as much use as an ashtray on a motor bike. I just gave in and had one when the cravings got too much and before i knew it I was back on them.

FURTEHR EDIT: Just noticed you're coughing up blood...If that's not enough incentive to quit , not sure what is
