Just realised I’ve smoked FAR too much tonight!! YUK!!!
In January 2006 they are going to ban smoking in pubs/clubs in Guernsey. I really want to give up before then, but I don’t know how.
Anyone got any advice??

I recommend you to do a fast. Sounds weird but works really well. There are many ways to detoxicate your body, just check on the net, some of them will make you feel really good. My point is that you have to be really focused on not eating, so it’s pretty easy to stop (and actually even forget about) smoking during that period. Once the fast is over, you feel healthy and you don’t want to smoke again...sounds simplistic, but worked for me and a couple of my friends.

Great idea!
Smoking kills, my dad, my granddad and my mum´s cousin died because of smoking.
Give up smoking in time!

I’m also going to stop smoking. Only 3 more cigarettes to go. I read Allen Carr’s book. Don’t know what it’s called in English but you might know it, it’s quite popular. I tried to stop it before but wasn’t that successfull although I had read the book. It’s a bad book :-) No, it’s not *g* I think it makes stopping smoking easier but in the end it’s everybody’s own fault if it doesn’t work and not the book’s contribution (not sure if this is the correct word (I should learn vocabulary;-))) if it does. Well, when we stop it all we have to do is not to smoke. That’s all. We don’t have to give it up as if we loose something. We don’t have to stop eating, we don’t have to stop drinking coffee or alcohol,.... Life goes on. It is even going to be better.
One more cigarette.... smoke-free life, I’m coming :-)

try to suck your cigarette from the bottom! I bet you wont be able to smoke for at least a week!

I want to give up smoking aswell, but i’m just as hopeless at it as you, so i cant give any advice unfortunately.
They’re banning smoking in pubs and clubs in Scotland in March 2006 aswell, so that will be a bit of a nightmare if i havent stopped by then
