Cheers keith
Been told by the doc to think about giving up the fags as I have osteoperosis!!!!!: :)
need bags of sunshine apparently!!!:D thats easy:D
-
Good luck honey Its well worth it - ten years now for me ! Do it girl x Sue
-
Good luck with the quitting.
My doctor here in Turkey, told me that not only do I need lots of sunshine but, need lots of calcium which of course, means chocolate and full fat dairy ice cream (or so I assumed.) So, it goes to show that every cloud really does have a silver lining!

two of my workmates have stopped smoking for 6mths so far they went to the doctor and got th new pill that helps you stop. they are so pleased it as worked for them
-
I have also given up smoking 3 months ago after a health scare and can honestly say it is worth while.
I beleive the only way to stop properly is to go cold turkey which is what i did and i suppose the fact i have had a health scare gave me the incentive to stop.
Am really proud of myself and hopefully will never start again?

Hi i think the tablet you are talking about are CHAMPIX they work really well but you have to want to give up ,these are brilliant you can now get them over here but not cheap ,but they do work worth every lire.

Hi All
well update on the stop smoking and champix..... well after being on them for five days I got food poisioning nothing to do with he tabs just some dodgy eggs which were expensive as the hospita bill at esnaf came in at 859 lira :o
Anyway I have stated back on them two days ago as a newbie so im taking one a day at the min I cannot stand roll ups so have no cigs at all in he house just a packet of tobacco and when i have a roll up it makes me feel sick as a dog!!! and i cant even smoke half of it:D next week irll strt taking two tabs a day just wondering what others have experienced when taing two tabs.................? any info greatly received and cheers in davance from an almost non smoker i hope :D
-
When I was on two tablets I started missing letters out of my spellings when typing:D
will power is the only way to stop, if you really want to stop you can, tablets and needles are for people toying with the idea and have too much money to spend ;)
-
hahaha Andy!!!!! trust you................
-
I stopped a 40 a day habit ten years ago. I used patches and willpower and found it really really hard. If it was easy to stop them most people would if only because of the expense in addition to the health issues! It's a bloody hard thing to do and you really have to want to do it.
I cant imagine how I would have coped with the smoking ban in pubs and all the restrictions that wern't in place before, especially on holday!
I still have dreams that I have started again and wake up in a blind panic ! :(
Good luck Mary T ! :)
-
alot of my workmates are on these and they have found them great none have gone back smoking
-
Jukebox your a star!!!! and cheers to puma :D

Hi
Well I started when in Turkey and I found the tabs great ,
A) No agressive thoughts
B) No real desire for a cig except for the " what do I do with the empty hands" bit.
I have started again and I dont feel bad about it, Why? You need support. I was in a situation where for 2 months I had no partner and no cash so I ended up sitting in an empty apartment for two days a week.
And no, I am not condoning giving up, Jackie joines me in a couple of months and with her support a9 and no finacial problems) we will both stop.
Don't try and do it without support, some can, but most will not . Our friends help us.
Regards

I used these last year with some success but found that the two tablets after a week or two were making me feel a little funny for want of a better word. Nothing major, just a sort of 'I can't be bothered with anything' sort of feeling. I mentioned it to the lady at our class who told me to revert back to the one tablet, which I did and all was fine.
Good luck, I hope you succeed I certainly wish I had.

Hi
I found that I dreamed a lot. It is one of the side effects mentiond. But when I say I dreamed a lot I really mean it.
Most times it was ok but sometimes you woke up feeling really tired.
However, as I mentiond, they stopped the agresive feelings that is comon when stopping smoking.

10 years ago I gave up a 60 quid a week habit of Hamlets in the day time and Condor in my pipe in the evenings with just a single visit to a hypnotist. For a few weeks I sometimes fancied a smoke but never had cravings. In my mind I just said "Ken you don't smoke" 8). Everyone who knew me could not believe I'd done it. Never looked back since and believe it was the best thing I've ever done 8)

well done kenkay
