850 Days, 34,000 cigarettes not smoked

[Jonny5]

Let's just stop to think about that.

34 THOUSAND smokes.

That is a so many. That is simply amazing. And amazing too is the amount of poisonous chemicals we put into our bodies.

 

I think there is so much propaganda that it's soooo hard to quit smoking that a lot people either don't try, and keep spending money on cigs, or spend tons of money on smoking cessation tools. While in the back of their minds thinking it's unlikely they will succeed, because such a small % of people do. (I know I was one of those on my 3 previous quits. My first quit was at 19. Second at 21. Third at 32, quite a bit of space in between 21 and 32. Final quit at 37.) It's a self fulfilling prophesy! It's not the easiest thing in the world to quit, but the tough stuff is so temporary.

 

Thanks for being an example of being a happy ex smoker. I'd like to think I am too. At least most of the time ^_^

Thanks Jen :-) you're so right. Big tobacco loves telling us that smoking is highly addictive. It keeps the older smokers brainwashed. And adds a sense of danger and rebellion in the minds of impressionable teens.

 

And the tobacco growers couldn't care if thrir crop is used in smoking or cesation products. They want you thinking you can't quit nicotine too!

Thanks Jonny and Sarge  for the  welcome.  :D  You guys have been busy. B)

 

I have also been a little busy, my world got turned upside down last year, literally - I moved to Australia.  :P   

In the last year I have moved jobs twice and house 3 times.  It has been hectic.  We are still trying to settle and are much more isolated and remote than we wanted to be - nowhere near our Oz family. :(    My son is keen to go back to UK.  At the moment I would be happy to return but we will see if things improve this year. 

 

great to see so many still rocking their quits
