More smoking advice pls
Further to the enquiry about redoing a smoker's room, we've recently
inherited some good furniture, in particular a dining room table and upholstered chairs. Unfortunately they came from a smoker's home and even after a month with us still smell strongly. Any ideas about getting them to kick the habit? thx Marc |

If you've inherited them they must be over the legal age, there's little you can do about it except wait. Time will teach them. Mary M. |

M. It doesn't say suitable for fabric, my choice for fabric would be to use the vax machine. (since you don't want to dissolve the smell further into the item, the vax sucks it straight off) mrcheerful |

(since you don't want to dissolve the smell further into the item, the vax sucks it straight off) I would have thought one of the foaming type carpet and upholstery cleaners would be a good bet. You use a small amount of cleaner on a sponge or brush to work up a good lather, and then let it dry. It dries to a crystalline form which you then vacuum off. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

In my experience not at all but others have different experiences. But the offer was for the partner to hyptonise and I've no experience of that. Mary -- Richard Faulkner |

: I want to give up smoking - how successful is hypnotism? Hyponotism doesn't give up smoking. You do! Having just done so (over two months now), the greatest help for me was a partner who had also just done so. She was about a week ahead of me. In the months before giving up, we had progressively pushed smoking from something we did pretty much anywhere, to "downstairs only", to "kitchen only", eventually to "outside if you really have to". This also had the effect of breaking links between things like using computers, watching tele, eating, drinking tea/coffee, etc. and smoking. And think why you want to give up. If the want is strong enough, the doing is easy (well, easier). -- Rod |

Having just done so (over two months now), the greatest help for me was a partner who had also just done so. She was about a week ahead of me. Well done, both of you. I think it's probably the hardest thing to do. I hope you're feeling better - your wallet certainly will - and that you keep off it.

If the want is strong enough, the doing is easy (well, easier). I think that's probably true for some people. In fact I think that different methods work for different people. I tried very many methods and none of them worked. I didn't even enjoy smoking, I wanted to give up but I was a junkie :-( I'm now a reformed smoker of 21 years and although I don't want another and hate the smell I wouldn't dare have even a puff because I know I'd be hooked again.
