So, I've not had a cigarette in a week now and its great. Based on the fact I smoked 20 a day and an extra 20 over the weekend I've saved nearly 55 quid so far. It's not great deal of money by any means and it won't make me rich but its better in my back pocket then wasted on cancer sticks.

I haven't missed it as much as I thought to be honest, I have up for 4 months a few years ago and wanted a *** constantly, this time it feels completely different, probably because I really want to this time.

The only side effect so far, is that I'm hungry all the time, but according to the NHS website it's because my taste buds are getting better each day.

Another bonus is spending absolutely nothing during the day at work, I had 100 quid in my wallet Monday morning and its all still there.

Get an electric one Steve. I swear by them now. I don't use it nearly as much as I thought. The last time I used it was at four on my way home, its a novelty at first and you use it load, but now I hardly use it when I'm not driving. And most of the time it's just hanging out my mouth when I'm driving between jobs and I'm not actually smoking it.

Well done to all of you. I never really smoked other than cigars when I was drinking, that got knocked on the head when you were banned from smoking in pubs and clubs so giving up wasn't a problem for me.

I am addicted to boiled sweets though, especially Foxes, if they get too sticky to unwrap you can eat the wrapper as well lol.

Good work. Try sugar free polos for sweets I used them when I went on a diet worked a treat to stop hunger

Don't eat too many sugar free mints. Some of them can have a laxative effect. I stuffed my way through a couple of tins of super strong mints a few years back and spent the next day on the toilet.

Good luck and fight the good fight, if I did it so can you. Now its just the gambling, drinking and womanising I have to stop.
