"Tips on giving up Smoking?"

Any of you successfully quit the old cancer sticks?

I don't smoke during the week, or the weekend for that matter, but as soon as I have a couple of pints I smoke like they're going out of fashion. I'm sick of waking up feeling like I have someone stood on my chest after a night out, but I don't seem to have any willpower when I've had a skinful.

I know people who've tried those crappy patch things, but they were soon back on the fags. I refuse to fork out loads on those things anyway.

It looks like soon smoking will be prohibited in public places, which suits me just fine, it may be just the thing to force me to quit. No need for it - at least if there's some 'erb in your cigarette, you're getting something out of it. I don't smoke much rambeesh these days anyway.

Mmmm ... suicide sticks.
Pretend your finger is a fag (well, it's already part of one. mnar) and suck it, and set light to the end as well. You probably won't find it so nice, and people'll laugh at your foolishness.

Find yourself a bit of skirt who would be really nice to you if you didn't smoke.

By the time the novelty wore off you should have enough control over the urge to refuse to smoke with a drink again.

I stopped smoking in an instant, I just stopped buying them. Of course I was only 16 at the time, and had only been smoking a year or two, so I was never really addicted.

I still have the occasional cigar, mind, but that's just for image (ie. I don't have)

It does. You get a little scuffy hit on the back of the throat. But it wouldn't work for Borat, as he's a social smoker, which is very different from being an around-the-clock smoker.

Just use your willpower you p****.

;D

Nicorette Gum is nasty but works so well..

I was on 30-a-day, rollies, no filter, very nearly a chain-smoker. I would light up first thing in the morning, and link smoking with every activity.

And then I comprehended that I'd been puffing on those things for 10 years solid. Then I visualized myself as a sad case in a hospital bed with a tube stuck in my throat, looking like a shrivelled hag, and I quit.

I chewed nicorette gum for a while, and then sucked lollipops, like Kojak.

You have to stub every fag out on your member after smoking it.

Or bathe in petrol every morning?

But not too much in case you begin to enjoy the pain, thus giving yoursel more motivation to smoke.
