did you quit smoking or are you trying?

I quit 19 years ago. I chose a date to stop (about 2 months away ) so my mind was ready for it. When that day came I went cold turkey, I found it was more an habit than really wanting to smoke i.e after breakfast I would smoke, when it was break time at work I would smoke etc. so I did something else in place of smoking, after dinner instead of having a smoke I did the washing up, by the time I finished I didn't want a cig. Just try to do something in place of smoking, cleaning or walking, you will be surprised how quickly you break the habbit, because at the end of the day that's all it is. Good Luck.

Im trying at the moment
I cant do cold turkey but i have found that its the triggers i need to stop
eg
phone rings i always spark up
coffee i spark up
certain points on my walk
etc etc

i found getting past those cigarrette triggers helped and ive cut from 20+ a day to about 5

I quit smoking 6 years ago when my boyfriend at the time told me they made my breath smell bad. I went cold turkey, but it was the 3rd time I'd tried. Once I gave up for 2 years before starting again. Whatever happens, don't allow yourself one with a drink, or in social situations...that's how they creep back in.
Sadly I still crave them when I'm out and have a glass of wine in my hand. It's an eternal battle with willpower, but it'll make your life soooo much better.
Good luck!!
