    By any chance are you partaking in Stoptober?

    I have as well, I'm just going for the 'I'm going to balance snacking with exercise, and if I happen to loose weight it's a bonus' I feel quitting is more important than LOOSING weight, at the moment. As long as I don't gain for a month I'll be happy. :)

    I have also downloaded the NHS 'Couch to 25K' podcast and when the cravings got too much I went for a walk/jog. Not only do you feel the cravings go, you find a few good reasons why you quit e.g getting breathless quickly, stitches and it helped me resist for day one!

    I started here in Sept 2012.... I waited about 6 weeks before I quit smoking. I think it helps to get in the habit of logging prior to stopping "*kitten*".

    Quitting is possible. Fill your time with other things that are healtier habits.

    I am quitting too. I have so many bad habits to break, and can't wait to feel good about myself again. Friends needed please!

    According to our family doctor, a true "craving" will last 10 minutes, so if you can get busy doing something else whenever you want a cig, after ten minutes you should be able to relax till the next craving. Good luck!

    Congratulations on quitting smoking! A small and silly tip that helped me immensely: cut a plastic drinking straw down to the size of a cigarette. When the urge strikes, hold it like a smoke, "puff" on it, flick the "ashes," etc. People will think you're insane, but it really does help!

    glad you quit smoking...but I want this in my feed for all the "*kitten*" rage....

    since most will assume you are gay bashing.

    start by trying e-cigarettes. At least you're not getting the other harmful substances that way.

    Oh. And your thread title? Yea. I'm waiting for someone to not actually read your OP.

    Quite. The expression 'can I bum (or sometimes 'scab') a *kitten*?' is fairly common round these parts,
