I stopped smoking by not buying any cigarettes.
No fuss.
No nonsense.
No hyperbole.
That is all.

I've been nicotine free for four days.

I did that about 15 years ago. Same approach. "How did you give up?" "I stopped sticking things in my mouth and setting fire to them."

[QUOTE 2879445, member: 1314"]Good man, Vernon. I gave up some years back. You won't regret it.[/quote]
I stopped ten years ago and took it up again last summer in the Czech republic where I went from 0-30 per day in three days. It had to go. I did enjoy the first fag of the day but I was enslaved by the rituals and accoutrements.
Disrupting the acquisition of cigs this week was made easier by having the mother of all colds. I sought comfort from rum, absinthe and akvavit gargles. Oven cleaner was on the list if the alcohol didn't shift the sore throat.

No, it's Absinthe and Akvavit. He probably needs a home start.
[QUOTE 2879477, member: 1314"]I do still miss smoking. I used to do Old Holborn roll ups. I had one last Summer.

Old Holborn was my weakness too. I smelled someone smoking one as I walked passed a pub recently. I felt like the Bisto kids following the gravy vapour.

Its weird really, sports and cigarettes seem to go together.........when a season is over, football, cycling, most sports really.......the press always get photos of our top athletes puffing away on a fag when they are out in the clubs and bars.
