Mojoman Posted July 17, 2011 Share 18 Months for me. My partner has made almost 2 years (its quite motivational to see your father die from lung cancer I think!). Another friend has quit for about 2 months and I am working on another mate trying to get him to stop (especially as he smokes the cheap and nasty crap and sounds like he is 70 and not 35!).

Well done - Mojoman. My wife has stopped for seven years now and got the most incredible cravings when we were in Knysna now for the MTB races, she managed to get through with some effort though.

HeartCoppi Posted July 17, 2011 Share ^ true, the rubbish is very addictive. This is why its still around; and only for that reason. There is after all, no real reason to smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartCoppi Posted July 22, 2011 Share Ja, they say you have to realise you are an 'addict' and will have cravings all through your life after quitting. Once you start to smoke you will never again be a non-smokerOnce you quit, you can only ever be an ex-smoker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will stop when the time is right for you. Just don't forget about quitting when the good times roll around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch Posted August 23, 2011 Share So, who has given up? How is that going? Who is still smoking? Just over 1 year since I quit gave up years ago. Remember two things when trying to give up:1. Just one puff will see you back on the weed, and 2. a smoker thinks about quitting a lot more than an ex smoker thinks about having a cig oh, and give up when you WANT to give up, else you will fail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
