Pat and have to quit at the same time or we'll undermine/kill each other. (I think she'd win in a fair fight) we are getting serious and have slowed down quite a bit. We'll get there!

Reminds me of the guy that gets pulled over by a cop for not coming to a full stop at a stop sign. He argues with the cop about not deserving the ticket, saying he slowed way down, and that's the same as stopping. the cops says it's not the same, not by a long shot. Cop says to him, "tell you what, I'll start smacking the hell out of you with my night stick. When you've had enough, tell me and I'll slow down".

Hang in there, Tom & Pat. There's one hell of a lot to be gained by quitting.

One of my "tricks" was to bum them from friends that still smoked when the urge got the better of me (bars were the toughest, stay out of bars :) They knew I wasn't being cheap and every so often I would buy them a pack, replacing more than I ever bummed anyway. I found that if I had to ask somebody for a cig I smoked a whole lot less. If I had a pack, I would smoke them all...

Food for thought, it helped wean me to the point I could just give them up.

march 12th 2002 for me after 28 years. I was on low tar cigarettes for some time before that:- 15/day. I was getting seriously pissed about the price (==$10 per 20 in the UK). I used the Nicotine chewing gum and managed to give up before I'd finished the second packet. I did find that the lowest dose gum was still too strong and used 1/4 of a stick at a time.

Silly thing... in 2001/2002 when I stopped, the UK tax take from tobacco was greater than the entire socialist National Health Service drugs budget. As more people give up _and_ live longer, they are having to find other things to tax :-)

Work together and support each other. We need you.

A standard power feed fits on the BP knees just fine. Half of Tho's BPs and so forth have them. When you are 5'6 and weigh 100lbs soaking wet with a handful of ball bearings in your pocket..he doesnt like cranking them up and down either.

I installed most of them.

On Sat, 21 Apr 2007 05:57:46 GMT, with neither quill nor qualm, "Tom Gardner" quickly quoth:

I had cut back from two packs/day to 1/2 pack/day when I got the flu. After a coule days, I decided that it was the best time to quit, as I was already half-cold-turkeyed from the illness. I've never looked back. That was 18 years ago last February.

My top tips:

1) Quitting is a decision. All you have to do is make it.

2) Cheats like the patch simply keep putting the drug into your system as long as you're on them. As long as -any- nicotine at all is going into your system, you will continue to be addicted to it.

3) For the oral fixation, I substituted sugarless bubble gum for a few months.

4) For the manual fixation, I played with my pens and pencils a lot, and sucked on straws a bit.

5) The best tip was that when I wanted a cig, I simply walked outside and took a deep breath of fresh air, no matter the temp. It got me away from whatever stress had led me to thinking about a cig and it filled me with peace (and oxygen.) What more could you ask for?

6) Smokers REEK! Remember, once you quit smoking, everyone around you will never think you smell like a dirty ashtray again!

I hope you're quick to make that decision, Tom. Namaste.
