I was on 60 a day and gave them up 32 years ago. No, vapes, patches or chewing gum.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes...i have had loads of attempts over the years at quitting, i am very ashamed to admit ( even to myself) that it is now 40 years ago this year that I first started to smoke...
I am not a heavy smoker, bizarrely i cant stand the smell of it in the day but get a glass of wine or beer in my hand and I chain smoke!
Really well done to all the folk who have successfully managed to quit   :)

I gave up years ago with no alternatives, but by carrying an opened pack around with me for a year. The choice was only mine, my personal challenge and I was so proud of each clean day one at a time, I just couldn't waste that effort and give in.

  Snap KKOB. I was on 60 a day.  32 years ago I started my own business and stopped smoking on the same day, my birthday.

  I kept on thinking about the effect on my family, the cost, my health, and the amount of extra Tax I was handing to the Government.

  So I picked a date, my birthday, and went for it.  And it worked.      :)   You have to tell yourself to do it I think, it's in the mind. Good Luck.

I was on 60-70 a day. I went to fagends and tried the tablets and gave up in Oct 2014. Had a relaps in june 2015 and went back to fagends. I was on the nicotine patches and they worked, to the extent that I would forget to wear them!!!
I feel fantastic and proud of myself as I had smoked for over 40 years. The other thing is I don't know how I managed to find the money to fund this habit.
Good luck Karennina....you CAN do it.  ;)

Good luck to you.  Champix was the way for me - nothing short of  miracle.  18 months and  can truly say it's the best thing I have ever achieved.  I can't bear the smell of them now.
