| Quote: Bullseye "Make an appointment at your Doctor's surgery. When I gave up 8 years ago I saw the Nurse who was helpful with advice and I got patches on prescription which really worked for me.
You still need a fair bit of willpower but if you really want to give up you will.
I never touched a cig for at least a couple of years after 2005, nowadays I can have the odd one occasionally but I've never slipped back into being a smoker. I can go months, even years without ever craving one.
Good luck.'"
Tried the patches but get arm ache with them  |

| Quote: SaintsFan "I smoked for 20 years, early days Regal, but mostly Malboro Lights. I have been using VIP e-cigs for a couple of months now and have never thought twice about returning to the coffin nails.
I have used Totally Wicked, a disposable just to see what they were like (given that they are now sponsoring a stand at Langtree Park!). They were fine and although the disposables are expensive (£6.99 for one!), their packs appear to be about average cost and they have both cigarette and cigar like e-cigs available with many flavours, including tobacco.
I use VIP. I have just now cut down the nicotine level from 2.4 to 1.6 and so am on track. They look like cigarettes, although they are a bit heavier due to the battery (and so take a little adjustment when it comes to handling them, but you would get used to them) and they come in two flavours
That's briilliant news thinking of trying these myself there's a shop in castleford that sells them might after go and check them out

| Quote: Rock God X "Have you tried hypnotherapy? I had one 60 minute session about 8 years ago and can't recommend it highly enough.'"
My wife tried cold turkey, patches etc and always failed. She had one session of one-on-one hypnotherapy 7 years ago and has not touched one since she walked out of the door.
She swears by it, but I have a different take on it. When she tried patches and cold turkey, she was badgered by me and the kids to try, but she went voluntarily to the hypnotist because SHE wanted to stop for herself and was determined to succeed. I think the hypnotism helped (no question), but probably helped to enforce her will to cease smoking rather than was the cure all. |

I had been 100% determined to quit several times before I tried the hypnotherapy. |

I tried E-Cigs too ( www.ecigsbrand.com) and although they were effective in delivering the nicotine hit, they weigh an absolute ton. If any of these e-cig manufacturers could develop a product the same size as a roll-up, that tasted like Golden Virginia, then I might be tempted to give them another go. |

I've seen [ipatients[/i from the cancer wards at Hull Royal Infirmary standing outside having a smoke, so there's no guarantee just visiting one would work. |
