Well done. I am currently in the process of quitting with the help of Champix. After over 20 years smoking I have tried patches, gum, cold turkey, you name it I’ve tried. The Champix are working I am on day 5 and I haven’t yesterday I only had 8 smokes for the day (not bad for a 20+ a day smoker). I still haven’t had one today, but time will tell. My quit day is day 12 (next Sunday) and I am hoping that I will have quit before then as I just don’t feel like one now. My daughter is so happy that I am quitting, she has been getting very upset over the ads on TV and keeps crying that this is going to happen to Mummy. I want to be here for a long time for my daughter and husband and to be a good role model for her.

well done on making the change

It is very hard to quit smoking, I quite 4 and a bit years ago and know how hard it is, but well worth it

I can so relate to this story. I still struggle to give up this dreadful habit, this addiction. I recently made a purchase that is quite expensive and requires me to pay it off. I know that the only way I will be able to do so is to give up the ciggies and the $200+ per month I spend on them will go towards my purchase. God give me strength!!!

Well done! I quit around 5 years ago! It’s not an easy thing to do!

Great story, it is very hard to quit smoking and children just pick up everything, shows how much we want to change and better ourselves for our children

Love how this was written! congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! (bet you look at the prices of them these days and feel a lot happier!)

This is something I am currently trying to battle. I don’t like the taste or smell and thought it would be easy. But alas it isn’t

A very interesting read, thank you for sharing! And well done – not an easy thing to do. 🙂

Hope i can take after you and stop this habit. It is so hard to do, you are my new inspiration!

Congratulations on quitting. Its really hard work but you just have to do it for the sake of your kids.

Congrates on giving up, my parents have smoked all there lives & have tried numerous of times to give up 🙂 but haven’t succeeded :
