IceCreamMan Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 12 years cigarette free for me today. Still get the odd pang but rarely these days as hardly anyone smokes around here. EddieV, Veebee, fanievb and 2 others 5
RudolphG Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Tomorrow will be eleven years for me. The attached book " Never take another puff " was a game changer for me. I gave up smoking cold turkey and never smoked again.I hope this book can also help someone else.NTAP_large_print_212_pages.pdf Veebee and Mojoman 2

NotSoBigBen Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 Not cycling related but my wife had a heart attack 12/12/2019 ... She was a lifetime smoker, both her parents died from heart related disease. Having seen the devastating effect it had on our kids, grandchildren, family and friends she vowed there and then to stop and hasn't touched a cigarette since then thankfully! She has recovered without any major problems I must add [emoji16] Pieter1, IceCreamMan, ChrisF and 2 others 5

Mojoman Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Anyone else using the lockdown period to quit the smokes? I'm on day 2 now...cold chicken....Was offered a pack of Swahil (or some sketchy brand) when I went to the shops the other day...Was a bit weird, the guy had a long jacket on and whistled for me, when I looked his way he opened up the jacket and had packets of smokes in there! I though he was going to flash me or something dodgy!Anyway, R50 for a packet of crappy dry smokes!Time to try and quit...Again...!
The Guy in Pink Posted April 3, 2020 Posted April 3, 2020 Not cycling related but my wife had a heart attack 12/12/2019 ... She was a lifetime smoker, both her parents died from heart related disease. I got a blocked artery behind my knee in my right leg and needed emergency surgery in November to put in a new pipe to supply my lower leg with blood. I was a asked repeatedly, by the surgeon, radiologists, aneathlogists , nurses and everyone else in the hospital the following questions: Do you smoke? Me:No. Them: When did you stop smoking? Me. Before I reached the age of 10. (60+ years ago) They just assume if I had a blocked artery I must have been a smoker.
