Are you going cold turkey or aided. I have been off it for 1.5 years and used nicorette sticks. I changed my routine so to avoid times that I would
have a ciggy. Going for a walk or playing music through head phones helped in difficult times. Also started going to bed earlier and stopped drinking
alcohol for a week or 2.
Good luck.
P.s I still love the smell of a ciggy from a distance.

When I stopped I found that liquorice was a good replacement the black airwave chewing gum also helps

I found making tea in a tea pot helped, or doing something that isn't difficult but takes a while to do as it takes your mind of it.

Hang it out for at least a week. Use nicotine replacements. Change your routine. Keep busy. Treat yourself. Keep reminding yourself why
you're packing up. Don't even think of a reason why you should be smoking. Be positive and try to see what's good about not
smoking. Good luck!

I packed up 40 years ago and never touched one since, no patches or sprays then and no substitutes like eating or anything. If you want to pack in you
will otherwise just give up now and admit you are weak and unable to control your impulses 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Jon, iirc you've done the hard part as the nicotine is mostly out of you system. What you need to remember is the craving only lasts as long as
you think you need a smoke - get distracted at the time and the craving is gone.
I quit 7 years ago but still chew gum (ordinary stuff). I did get fat though, so maybe a workout every now and again

I think you smokers should be encouraged to carry on !
The government gets HUGE amounts of revenue from you guys, savings in the health service will
not happen overnight so there is only one place they turn to to recoup the losses...
The motorist.
I've never smoked and still suffer as a result 
So there

I am the only person in my family that has never smoked.some have given up, some still trying.
Two things I have observed are:
You will put on weight as your metabolic rate decreases. Dont be disheartened and maybe fill the smoking time with a quick fast walk and lots of air
through the lungs. This really helps you consolidate and analyse sticky situations that smoke may previously helped with.
You may of stopped smoking but you will never stop quiting. My dad restarted smoking after having stopped for over 10 years. Its a battle that needs a
life style change. The sooner you deal with it and change your ways the better.
Good luck and stay strong. It will be worth it.
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Stopped 30 years ago, as earlier on if you really want to stop you will! everything else patches etc are tricks after the first couple of weeks as
they feed your habit.
Hardest part for me was social smoking down the pub, now you cannot smoke in pubs then that base is covered, do not expect the urge to ever go
typing about it now makes me think about smoking, your body never forgets.
So it's all bad news then apart from your health, your pocket how you taste things and the horrible smokers smell

Get your self an illness that makes smoking really difficult and painful, makes the nicotine detox easy.

Don't overdo it compensating with food though Jon. That was the hardest one to give up I found, I always used to have a cigarette after a meal.
I also found it hard to go into the paper shop first thing in the morning on the way to work and not ask for a packet and matches. Just force of habit
more than anything but I found a pack of twenty unopened once as I was walking to the pub and when I got there I gave them to a bloke at the bar
before I was tempted to open them.

Can't believe people still smoke at all to be honest. Its probably cheaper and healthier to pay a man to hit you on the head repeatedly with a
toffee hammer.
