My friend went to Allan Carr to stop smoking and it worked, she paid a lot of money though, i know i cant afford it then again at over £6 for my packs and i smoke more then a pack aday i would easily make the money back!

Today I spent the day with the kids in the kitchen cooking, we made biscuits (i didnt eat them) and a low fat spag bol as well as a few other things I was good and didnt pick while i was cooking AND I didnt smoke for about 5 hours which is a first for me.
I think its all about keeping busy in the 1st few weeks so that the cravings dont bite to hard.

Im will give up one day, just not ready yet

Good luck to you...I quit 14 years ago after smoking for about 27 years....Nicorette gum saved me!

i quit smoking 23 days ago cold turkey. i was TERRIFIED it would affect my weightloss. it hasnt, its all in your head, if you want a cig, tell yourself no, or "just one"...NO becuase than youll want another...same with your eating...if you feel bored after u quit (like me, i didnt know what to do with myself) than exercise, or clean...dont eat! You can do it!

I used Allan Carr's Easy Way book and I did quit cold turkey for about a year. Really good book but it didn't work for me a second time round.
Been off the cigs for a week now with the help of nicotine lozenges which has worked well so far. Only problem now is I like the lozenges too much.

Drinking when trying to stop smoking is also a big problem. Have a drink, want a cigarette. I haven't had a drink for a month now.

Just go for it and be tough with yourself. You've got the willpower to lose weight, you've got the willpower to stop smoking.
