Good luck!

Take all the help you can get to start you off.. patches, smoky thing, gum, tablets... just until the worst of it is over.

I stopped smoking 12 years ago after smoking 30 a day for 35 years ugh! I found that I needed a very good reason other than health, money etc., and I took 10 minutes at a time for the first 2 weeks. Each time iI craved a fag I told myself to wait another 10 minutes and so on.

I also found it helpful to be around smokers and enjoyed the whiff of their fags lol.

GOOD LUCK!!
