I stopped smoking 40 years ago, (i'm now 81) and after several failed attempts i discovered another way and found it easier than i thought. I was having a attack of bronchitus and i hadn't had a smoke for two or three days because i was coughing so much. I knew i had to stop. I was having some flack off my wife and daughter who where both nurses and then i realised i had stopped! If i just didn't start again it was half the battle. Other attempts had always failed by mates asking me how i was doing, and offering me cigs. Then the secret dawned on me, DON'T TELL ANYONE AT ALL! Six days later my daughter said you haven't had a cig today dad. But by then the worst was over, and i haven't had one since. The point is if noone knows there is no pressure, hope this helps.
I was quite a heavy smoker rolling my own with OLD FRIEND which older smokers will remember and is a very strong tobacco.
I'm not going to say this will work for everyone but it did for me and i never considered myself as being strong willed.'"
has anybody ever been banned for swearing in there first ever post? now that would be funny.
By the way i gotta disagree with you, you are a stubborn old mule.
