[QUOTE="Lillywac, post: 1047222, member: 258793"] Do you really want to quit that's the real question? Do you want to be messing around with a vype pen in 12 months time (not sure what this pen is)? Not interested what the pen is, a crutch perhaps? I was smoking up to 3 packs a day and I had no problems with that at all, everyone around me was smoking. However, we know in our own hearts it's not healthy and there's enough information around us to confirm that. THIS IS WHAT I DID 1. I DECIDED I wanted to stop. That's me telling me I want to stop, not me telling everyone else first. I decided! I did it Cold Turkey. I made a decision not to drag it out. 2. I picked a day and I picked first day of the week. 3. Then I told everyone, even warned everyone around me. Now everyone is aware and supportive, if you want them to be. I didn't know how I was going to feel. There was only one incident in a work meeting where I got annoyed. This guy was not supportive. 4. When I had done what I said in (1) above "I decided", you have cracked it! After 2 weeks I could say I had cracked it. Over the months you may get the odd memory or craving and that's to be expected.. 5. Since the day I quit, over 6 years ago, there has been endless reasons to start smoking again, loss of savings, loss of job, loss of property, legal cases, loss of friends from cancer, heart attacks....... The point is we all have our problems but the key is when YOU DECIDE to quit, nothing will rock you. You make your decision and be proud of that decision. I had a list of illnesses, including mini strokes, diabetes, cholesterol and incident after incident.........These days I feel great! I used to sit in surroundings, amongst friends, that would have a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other and tell me how well I have done to quit smoking. They further go on to say why they would never quit? Each to there own as they say. My circle of friends changed slightly and the way I socialise because I was sick of inhaling smoke and smelling like an ashtray. I still have good friends and family that are avid smokers but that's they're choice. There is so much more I could talk about but simply I would say "don't make a song and dance about it". It's all in your capable hands ally. Well done in advance! [/QUOTE]
