Stopping smoking

Good luck. Don't beat yourself up if you fail the 1st time, just keep trying. Every time I quit I'd work out how much I'd saved so if I started back again I'd tell myself I still have that extra how ever much in my pocket and that's so many cigarettes I haven't smoked, then I'd try again another day. It might be easy for you this time, it might take a few attempts but you will manage it at some point. I'm nearly at 7 years now, I also managed 13 years previously, you'll never be a non smoker. I always tell people I'm not smoking currently.

Has anyone had any experience with the lozenges? Last time I tried it used the patches, which I didn't mind. I plan on using the patches again with the lozenges, I don't feel like i could go full cold turkey.
 
Yes. They gave me awful heartburn - but it did make me not want to smoke!
Oh my days you wasn't wrong, I tried once yuck, tried again absolutely not. Still smoke free, found it easier than I thought. Why did I waste my money on the lozenges?! If anybody reads this thread, if you feel like you can do it, then just do it without the lozenges. I'm still using the patches but that's no fail.

Well done. I quit multiples times, sometimes all I would think about was smoking (obviously that led to failure) but the 3 times I quit long term it was easy. I was definitely a routine smoker rather than a nicotine addict though. I quit once and I had to change my route to work because I had set points on the journey where I would light up and I literally couldn't drive past them.

Ah well done! So glad it’s going well for you so far, it was years ago for me so I feel like I’ve forgotten just how bad they were!
