Liked, but not for the fact you're off to work.... hope all customers are full of festive spirit (and not the liquid one ;)) and the shift flies.....

Well done cutting down on the cigarettes! Big thumbs up. Do you think there maybe a temporary impact on your bs as your body get used to less nicotine?

Thanks SJ :)

Possibly but that's what i want to find out. Does cutting back or quitting cut down BS and if so, by how much. I'll soon know I guess.

The dollars saved are huge ... I was smoking 40+ two weeks ago and got up to 50 + when first diagnosed as I was super tense.

I can tell you one thing. yesterday I had a 4 hour break and when I lit up, it tasted disgusting. Mike :)

Same with some of the sweet stuff I used to like (apart from Snickers ;)) tasted sooo sickly sweet I couldn't taste the flavours anymore. Did crave a Bounty bar earlier but as I had none. .....

Congrats on the smoking, I stopped about 6/7 weeks ago after some 46years, not had a single one since but am using an ecig.

Everything tastes different, some good some not so.

But certainly overall results are positive.

Good luck on your journey

Cannot put my finger on it at all but I have no serious cravings at all ... still around 10 today (and that's it with 1 B4 bed) and only smoking half of them as I usually do. Waste of money, waste of health :) Bit by little B*&*&y bit :)
