Hiya everyone, I'm just about to give up smoking, (Wednesday), the truth is I'm bricking it, ive tried so many times before, but feel NOW the time is right.

I guess what I need is something like this forum to come onto to get help from people who have gone through the withdrawals etc.

Will come on here from time to time to get advice or just to vent if that's ok by everyone

Wish me luck and roll on Wednesday

    try gp stop smoking support do patches minimum of 8 weeks. vape if you really have too at a very low strength nicotine. stop vaping after 12 to 29 weeks as I do not believe vaoe additives are safe.. then stop vaping before this becomes a habit also. this way is guaranteed to make you quit if you remain strong. the difficult bit is,staying quit as it takes a long time to feel better with some people.

    Hey Mick,

    hows it going? did you manage to quit?

    The hardest is the first 3 weeks. You hang in there, try eating something at that instant you wanna smoke. Like peanuts or something sweet. It helps.

    Stay STRONG!
