Smoking is expensive and bad for us, we all know that. However, it might not be a good idea right at this moment when you are still struggling with your blood sugars - you have cut out a lot of your favourite foods, which is proving very hard for you. Cutting out smoking right now may not help. I would suggest one thing at once. But that's my personal opinion.

Good luck Ally, best decision you'll make.

Hi @ally1, You go girl. Just remember don't believe all the hype about having cravings to smoke.. you wont - Its only your head you need to educate. Also dont forget to speak to your dr... as usually they can offer you help in quitting.

Hi Ally1.. Lovely to hear that you are giving up smoking. Wish I could, I have tied the patches, spray, will power several times, not having agood time trying to do this, I agree with bluetit, hard to do it while you are concentrating on your health issues. I know.
But I would really love to be able to say I DO NOT SMOKE. I agree help is needed, it is when you are alone, that you have that ciggy. fatal, as then you resort to the habit again.
What have other people used or are there any ideas that you have. because I really need to stop.

I think that your idea is wright smoking is bad for every one who use it espesially the people who are suffering from maladies

When I gave up smoking I did it through the Allen Carr programme and attended a day course. it was I thought very expensive at the time it cost around £200.00 but I did this to support my best friend who wanted to give up also. So you spend a couple of hours talking about smoking - you were allowed to smoke throughout the morning - then they did this kind of group hypnosis at the end. I couldn't for the life of me tell you what they said, but since that day I've not smoked. For about 2/3 weeks after the course I felt really strange like something was missing from my life - I couldn't sit down and watch the telly as it felt weird... but then that feeling passed and so life began as a non smoker. So perhaps you get his book out of the library... I know people who found it very useful.

I quit for 2 years then went back on them at the weekends when I had a drink..............

I have only just recently stopped again with one of these vaporisers.............would recommend it, gives you the sensation of inhaling the smoke, comes in a variety of flavours and it has the vapour which looks like smoke.........

I need to cut them out in order to improve blood pressure as my eyes are deteriorating.........
