Hi TAB
patches are not cheating. I’ve gone cold turkey before but it messes with my moods, so I’ll be good now and go through the whole patch regime. The last time I did that, I stopped for 10 years (then things went a bit wonky).
Yay, first 24hrs are over!!!
We can do it 😁

Well breathing seems easier already and wow does stuff smell lol, like cars in carparks, bitumen, fuel fumes, ok clothes etc lol, well and trees on walks smell good and saved heaps of money already

Well done @TAB and @Former-Member!! Must be really nice getting your sense of smell back @TAB.
I just enquired at the local womens centre and they have counselling to help give up smoking. I think I'll give it a go. I have a vape but am still having cigs a fair bit instead of using it. I feel like I'm horribly addicted, physically and emotionally. Just not strong enough to go cold turkey.

well its just bits and moments re smell, but have also changed drinks, stuff drank for years I find foul now. I am using patches, so thats not really cold turkey I guess. Also was on news apparently 60% of vaping liquids have nicotine, even when sold as not having it. I did quitline nearly 20 years ago it didnt work for me, when theyd ring, it wouold just remind me of failure Anyway its what ever works Sure you can do it @eth
