WTF is going on with this giving up smoking malarkey ?

[Jonjon79 13,358]

I'm pushing 40yrs old and, my health and my pocket could be better - nearly £10.60 a pack now

I work 50hrs a week in an active job with plenty of heavy lifting and, I eat a varied diet so, I'm pretty healthy and, my stamina is good.

 

I do like a smoke - especially 1 with a coffee around 4:30/5am when I get up, after a meal, last thing at night and, with a cuppa at work.

 

I know that the missus and my daughter would be happy if I gave up.

 ......... I went a week a while back but, feck me did I get grumpy - not with those 2 - I was a complete c**t to people out and about and at work.

 

I'm trying again - now is day 1 and, I've discovered that Nicorette gum makes my eyes go funny and gives me the shit's

........ I've got one of those vape things but, it just ain't the same - it might stop me from being a grumpy twat though

 

I suppose this is just a quick rant

Swedish snus?

Champix worked for the wife and a few others I know (friends not wives) ya have to get them from ya quack though, but they seem quite happy to if your serious about quitting. I'm too old to quit now, and the more people tell me I should the more I want to smoke. I'm a grumpy twat with nicotine, would be everyone's worse nightmare if I tried going cold turkey.

I never smoked but I used it for a couple of decades. It's discreet and the strong brands will take care of all of your nicotine needs. I gave up completely at the end of 2015 but I do miss the odd one.

 ...... I never knew Champix worked like that - I just assumed it was the same as other gums.

If you contact your dr’s theyll give you patches, gum or a spray. Good luck bud. Atb

don't quit you wimp

I hate the vapes , gave me bad throat and headaches because I used it so much.  I had a little look at chsmpix before and although it can be good it can have some bad side effects to it

Champix will have you waking up in the morning with cum on your sheets!

Snuds are actually nice but rot your gums, teeth and make ya breath smell like the shoite Joe888 spouts on independence

I keep giving up and starting again..... I've said before I'm weak!
