    Nice one Paul, I gave up about 10 or so years ago.

    i found that the craving for a cig after the first couple of weeks didn't last as long at it would have taken me to smoke a cig so felt no point in having one.

    GP also prescribed me patches which worked for me.

    ive never been tempted since.

    good on ya and don't give up givin up! N
