And so you should be both proud and relieved. For most of us, quitting is tough work and takes a concentrated effort over a pretty long time. As with many things in life though, the greater the effort, the greater the reward. Enjoy your rewards!

NOPE!

Congratulations Parsley on making it through that first month! It's certainly the hardest part of quitting. Treat yourself to something nice - you deserve it!

Lots of people use patches. I would follow either the instructions on the pack of patches or your doctor's advice in terms of when to do the step downs. I started out day 1 & 2 using a 21 mg patch then forgot to put one on day 3 after my morning shower. I didn't feel a lot different from when I was wearing the patch so I just decided to go C.T. at that point. Get the nicotine out of my body right away instead of having to worry about that later. I can't say if that was the right way to go or not. It has worked for me but it also wasn't easy so - do what every you think is right for YOU. As you said, quitting smoking is our common goal and any way we can get there is "the right way" :)

Good job so far Evelyn!! You've still got work to do yet but you are well on your way. You can do this. We can all do this if we want it badly enough.

Have a great non-smoking B.D. Maybe try something new like ..... surfing?

OK, well there's actually a place in Newfoundland Canada called "Come By Chance". Imagine telling people you are from there? Or how about this town, also in Newfoundland ......................

I remember wondering if people who didn't smoke could tell that I did smoke when they got in my car (that of course I smoked in) - Of course they did! I was the one who couldn't smell it.

I'm sure, in the end, they will put whatever political spin on this that they need to in order to justify their actions. Whether it has any effect or not, is debatable. I don't understand all this *****-footing around that governments do with smoking. Oh, let's outlaw small packs to reduce younger people getting into smoking. Oh, let's put horrible disease photos on cigarette packs. Maybe people will stop buying them. If governments were really interested in putting a stop to smoking, they would just make it illegal. Wouldn't stop all smoking but it would stop a lot of it. No one ever died from nicotine withdrawal so current smokers would just have to deal with it and in the end, it would be to their benefit anyway. Now, the job losses in the "big tobacco" industry and related industries as well as the loss of tax revenues are the real reasons governments won't ever take a real stand against smoking.
