Caerus Posted August 31, 2010 Share Another day done and dusted , this is definatly getting easier. Not craving the early morning ciggie with the coffee( or any ciggie with coffee now,) my breathing is definatly improving as well, I'm trying my hardest not to eat crap as a substitute(dont want to put on any weight, god I sound like a woman now too,lol.) Another thing I noticed yesterday was the smell of a smoker when I walked behind them, that is putting me off smoking big time. GaryvdM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerus Posted September 3, 2010 Share Thats 1 week that Ive no longer been a smoker Best thing I could have done. I think from my own personal experience is that you need to be ready to quit, dont let anyone force you to make the change, it has to come from within for it too work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted September 3, 2010 Share I don't understand what Greece's "Total ban on smoking" means. It sounds like what we have. Total ban in my eyes is that it is totally outlawed. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23872752-greece-introduces-total-smoking-ban.do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W1Z@RD Posted September 5, 2010 Share Did my first race today since I stopped smoking..... Amazing difference! Didnt feel like my chest wanted to jump out! I also noticed my efficiency rate on the trainer has jumped from 22 to 28 (Average speed / average HR)*100. I you ever need another reason to stop is noticing that my Heart rate has dropped 22 BPM in a controlled spin training session. If there are any ex smokers or anybody wanting to take back there lives and need to chat or want advice ( I have tried stopping about 50 times and tried everything from willpower to Zyaban to Allan Carr) I have finally found something that worked for me . Feel free to drop me a note - If I can share my learnings and it helps - then that is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up! I went for accupuncture at a clinic in Randburg. Haven't had any cravings or pangs. I could stop with Allan Carr, but after 5 days or so I was back smoking.  Have you noticed any gains in cycling/running/gym? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
