Now you know what I would rather spend on and nothing ever on credit
    I thought you was moving into a new built house, so why change so much, remember it's only best to spend so much if the house is yours, otherwise you are throwing money or giving money away,

    You are right Michael , sorry Harry I shall start a new thread of wasting and saving money

    I thank you all for your encouragement, and i really think with you guys behind me i can do this... I know its a case of mind over matter, but i have got hold of some patches and a nicorette inhaler...
    A friend of mine owns an off-licence and he says that by next year all cigarettes will be sold in 20's. Nothing else.

    I smoke B & H Blue which cost £5.99 for 18 I think although I'm considering swapping over to vaping.

    Good luck anyway with your quest to quit.

    I gained plenty of kilos due to eating snacks as a substitute.
    That when I started an excercise regime. Just simple stuff like daily walks and cycling.

    Took me 2 years to lose that extra weight.

    Harry, it's going to be very tough and you'll need to be strong. When you get the urge just do something (not eating) to get past it like it's just a gap between smokes.

    Stay focussed and strong....

    Don't get withdrawal symptoms.... get angry at yourself for being weak.

    Keep busy and DISTRACTED.

    I ate snacks (and still do), but affects depend upon your metabolism , exercise, etc. No excess
    weight gain for me... just look healthier !

    Stay determined Harry !

    Wishing you the very best of luck Harry, ........... you can do it!

    My partner was prescribed Champex to give up his 30 cigarettes a day habit and hasn't looked back since his last one 5 years ago. He also took up running and then cycling to keep his weight at bay and is at his slimmest now, as well as having a much healthier and smoke free lifestyle
