The vape helps cut down though. *Must try harder* :-) What strength liquid are you using? 12. Right. I'd recommend 18 when first changing from fags to venting. Once you're well off the fags, you can try a weaker one. Ok, thanks for the advice. |

Is any of you taking part in these Stoptober shannigans? I delayed starting because of a wedding. I am on day 5 and trying to work but like buggery can I focus. I've given myself aims, 1 save enough money from not smoking to get another tattoo and 2, spending money for a Muse concert. It is really hard battling not to go to the local shop. Everyone is either a smoker or a non smoker, decide which you want to be and make it so. You don't need a gimmick like 'stoptober' to give you the kick up the arse. Get an inhaler / ecig / puffer thing and have a drag on that if it gets too much. I packed in smoking for 2 years once, they were the most miserable 24 months of my life, everyone said to me, 'can't believe you started smoking again, you'd have had another 10 years of life if you'd stayed packed in', and I invariably replied, 'yeah, that's why I started again' Ha, I know that feeling well. I only stopped for 3 weeks many moons ago. I have never climbed so many walls in such a short space of time :-) That's the problem I am having usually when working, I will resolve my work issues whilst having a fag break, standing looking at it. Now I have to find something else to resolve my work issues that doesn't involve lighting up. It makes you wonder if anyone has murdered anyone while going through withdrawl and pleaded insanity. You could grow a beard. I used to bite my nails and this gave me something else to fiddle with while cogitating. Picking one's nose could be another alternative distraction, Lol. |

There are two problems, one is the hand habit and the other the addiction, trying to tackle both at once is too much for some people. I read somewhere on the interwibble that moderate use of the "hand habit" can make you slightly short-sighted. Is there any truth in this? |

Depends whether you set fire to your todger I'd imagine, as that is what you

Ah, that is interesting. Women's hormones are bad anyway without adding withdrawl. Both the people in this house ended up hypothyroid and needing to take thyroid hormone every day within months/a couple of years of giving up. One M and one F. Both gave up by cutting down then simply stopping. No vaping, wellbutrin, gum, patches or anything else. -- Rod |

Is this another way that smoking ****s you up then? No. Pure coincidence -- Global warming is the new Margaret Thatcher. There is no ill in the world it's not directly responsible for. |
