Very good luck with your mission. Give yourself every chance. If you can get the lovely pills we call Champix (here in UK) I can highly recommend them. I wrote lots about giving up in previous post as have other folks, scroll back and check them out.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck to your Syr sassy_girl.

I'm proud to say that barring a major disaster I will reach a whole year not smoking in just 17days

Thank-you so much....I have to say the first 6-9months were a breeze compared to the last 3 or 4. I've had major cravings around assignment times and just because I think the universe is testing me - I'm weak willed in the face of hedonism - but have been real strong and denied them all.....not even just one little puff because that's how it gets you back in it's clutches.

I would imagine so. As someone who fights daily (and nightly) with asthma, I appreciate you appreciating your lungs and those who love you enough to stop smoking. It's hard to watch someone throw their lungs away when you really wish yours worked better.

I'm so sorry you have asthma sassy_girl. Sadly I already threw my lungs away and have the asthma, the COPD and 50% lung function

I did it to myself though and can't complain.

I believe mine stems from growing up with two smoking parents. Sad but true. Sorry you are fighting those dreaded issues even if it's your own doing. Maybe others will read this and feel inspired to quit too!

That's what I hope sassy_girl. I'm only 47 and have 50% lung function. I cycle and try keep it to the best of capacity but I'm afraid the damage is done, I have to make an effort to keep lung function, I can't take it for granted. If anyone could learn from my mistake of leaving it too late to give up smoking no matter what the Dr's say then my job is done.
