Great decision!

That's the toughest part, just decide...which you have already done.
Good for you Man!

since my last cigarette, This morning was hard, I was really craving, went to the supermarket and bought a load of lollipops which I sucked all day today! Didn't help that it wasn't busy at work so I found myself stood around alot (time which would normally be spent smoking)

as of tonight, I feel better, way better than this morning.. Not wanting a fag at all right now.

Thanks for all your support!

I believe the habit is harder to break than the addiction. Finding something else to occupy the time you used to spend smoking is hard.

Smoking is always been dangerous for health because it may effect your parts of body and also may cause cancer . Cigarette contains nicotine which is really harmful for our health . It should be given up as soon as possible .

One of the best life decisions you will ever make. I've been smoke free since 1975. Yes, it was very difficult. I find it amazing that governments allow such an addictive and harmful product to be sold in the first place.

In fact, I quit the first time in 1970 after watching a man who was like a father to me die of lung cancer. A few years later I started up again and then quit for good. I firmly believe it has added years of good health to my life, allowed me to continue diving for almost 50 years now... and saved me a fortune (that I can spend on dive gear)!

Great for you Griff, you can do it.
As with "Fit", "Form", and "Function"…. everything is interrelated.
Scuba diving becomes one of the biggest “Driving Forces” in our lives. We all joke about it, but we truly start to see how everything we do impacts our diving.

Hi James,
Some effective tips to quit smoking are:
Ask your friends and family yo support you in quitting cigarettes and avoid going to places where you might found smokers. Keep your mouth clean and keep money you would spend on cigarettes in a saving jar and plan for a treat tomorrow. Do start some sport or physical activity.
