Sneaky Wee Puffs

Firstly hello to everyone, im a new member of this forum.

I've stopped smoking actual full cigarettes bow for around four months but the cravings are still really bad. I've been having a sneaky puff, one or two puffs of a roll up and thats it in the morning (my wife still smokes). Then im fine and dont touch it at all.

I use an inhilator, sometimes with a cartridge inside sometimes without. Obviously i want to stop taking these puffs but is it acceptable.

is it okay to do this if its getting me through the day?

How can i stop this?

    Well done Allan for getting this far. If you are in UK do ask at your local GP surgery........most of them run schemes to help give up smoking and they are very good.

    Alternatively you could try nicotine patches, but do it with guidance from your GP. Then you will be using the correct strength patches for the correct amount of time.

    Can you persuade your wife to give up as well? Its not helpful for someone trying to give up when another member of the family is still smoking. You will be inhaling her smoke as well.
