Cigarettes & I

[RadicalEdward]

It's been 14months for me and I am the example of what happens when you don't give up in time. A 30 some yr smoker I've ended up at 47yrs old with 50% lung function. You don't want to end up there...really you don't.

Woohoo!! I did a little dance for you that is awesome!! 14 months!!!
I've been told the first twelve months is when 90% of quitters pick them back up - after that there's an exponentially less chance you'll go back

Have you done it cold turkey or have you taken advantage of the many sorts of nicotine replacement therapies out there?

I haven't used any nicotine replacements, but I have used a couple of different techniques to get over the hand/mouth fixation
The best one while I'm at work has actually been brushing my teeth :P
~which was a suggestion from withm in this thread!!
It means I'm still walking away from my desk, going downstairs, spending about 5 minutes away from my work, and then coming back
I just smell minty-fresh
