I am giving it another go this week as well, since there will be absolutely no smoking in the new car. Wish me luck.

You'll be fine...just don't go carrying a packet around with you for 'just in case' purposes.

My dad tried to stop smoking, but without sucess. So, after much consideration i decided to do something about it. I "borrowed" £100 of his money that he used to leave round the house, then when he was watching, threw the whole in a shredder. Neadless to say the demonstration of what he was doing with his money got the point across, and hes not touched one since... and that was 4 years ago.

I'd be giving praise to someone up above you never ended up in that shredder after it.

Good idea though

I certainly do FK, yes it's a little torture for awhile but the rewards are well worth the effort, give up before bed then patch first thing in morning, but take off before bed.
Good luck!

I had tried many times without success but when the doctor told me I was close to getting COPD the decision was easy! No my wife never smoked, our kids don't smoke either!

Other than the 'COPD' part we are more or less identical...I started to struggle to keep up with the forces requirements for physical agility, I soon realised there was more to the job than knocking someone to the ground
