I decided to quit after a few heavy work christmas parties. I knew it would be hard to quit over the christmas period so re-read Alan Carrs book which advises to pick a date and then keep smoking up to that date. I was set to stop on new years eve and made a concious effort to smoke as many as I could. I really sickened myself and was releived to quit on New years day.
I quit smoking real cigarettes about 6 years ago. When I play golf I still carry an electronic cigarette (Cig-Air), its something to puff but without causing the harm that real cigarettes cause.
Went to the doctors today about a lump I've found and about losing some weight having stopped smoking. I knew I had put on some weight but a STONE I'm gutted.
