Thanks all for the support, I am so determined to get it right this time, it ain't even funny.

Yes Neal I am reasonably young, I am not 20 just yet, I started smoking when I was 16, the very day after I turned 16 in fact! That is when its legal in the UK to purchase. Prior to that, I never smoked at all, not even to try.

Most people do start via peer pressure, I didn't really, I just wanted to see what was so special about it, when I tried my first cigar ever, I quite liked it, and so rather than ending my experiment there and then, or rather being sensible and never tempting myself I kept going.

For the past three and half years I have only smoked on weekends, just 2 cigars. It wasn't till I was 17 that I began smoking a couple of cigarettes on Fridays, and then it was there that was my habit, 2 cigs on Friday, 1 cigar saturday and another sunday.

My first attempt to stop I managed to stop the cigs, but I am thinking the cigars could be harder because I enjoyed them a lot! But you can't put a price on health and wellbeing.

I have put a jar and I am going to pay into the jar for 6 months a'la sky birds suggestion of time... I am going to pay in what I normally spent on cigars and ciggies. I'm still going to the gym, so I will see if stopping makes a difference on my fitness, I can't see that it will because I am fitter than most non-smokers I know. So... excuse my arrogance there but, well...

thanks for wishing me luck.
