My hubby has not smoked since the end of October, no help with nicotine replacement. I think loosing his mum to cancer early October and a chest infection needing 2 lots of anti biotics worried him a little. He has tried to stop a few times in the past I realy feel he has succeeded this time.

Ah thank you guys for your lovely comments, I must admit I'm rather proud of myself and have noticed a drastic improvement in my health, apart from putting on a stone in weight, but come spring I will be out in the garden with my chooks and hopefully lose those extra pounds digging the dirt. I was sorry to hear of your mother-in-law Davina, it must have been very hard for your hubby to give up at that most stressful time but such an inspiration too, good on your hubby )t'

As it's stop smoking day today, I was just wondering how you are all doing with the not smoking?
Myself....well.....cough....cough.... I stopped for nearly 8 months and I must admit I didn't struggle much....then we moved house and I had a really bad abcess in my bottom jaw that didn't respond to antibiotics or painkillers for nearly 11 wks. The only way I thought I could cope was to smoke. How daft was I? I drove to the supermarket at 3am to get cigarettes and have now been back smoking for 6wks }hairout{
I WILL stop again soon!
Hope you are all doing better then I did! >fi<

well done also Lucy, yep I'm still on the electronic ciggie but cutting down on the nicotine content, only on 4mg so basically puffing on fresh air. I have noticed a great difference. I have stopped taking all my inhalers and can take great gulps of air with ease. no coughing up any gunge either , as for the tummy im still piling on the weight >dum<

That's brilliant Sharon! Well done you )c(

I know what you mean about the weight. If I carry on like this, any health benefits from stopping smoking will be cancelled out by the fact that I am now five times heavier than I was at Christmas :oops:
