Smoking

[xXxBonnyxXx]

Well I used to smoke - not alot but I know its not the amount its the fact that I did it.

I switched brands to a low nicotene content one to ween myself off them, I found I was able to smoke less, and then yesterday I went to light one on my way to work and had to throw it out the window - it made me feel awful, and tasted absolutely rank.

I didn't go near another ciggy yesterday or today, and someone walked past me smoking earlier and it repulsed me,

Has anyone else had this?

Also cut down on caffene and now drinking caffene free tea - could this be something to do with not wanting/needing the nicotene anymore?

Hi Bonny

I quit smoking in January after being a smoker for 15 years, used the patches and these seemed to work well for me, havent touched a ciggie since.

If I am around a person now who smokes I cant stand the smell of it, and it makes me feel bad that I used to smell like that, which is good when I am having a craving as it puts me off straight away.

Good Luck kicking the habit, its tough but you do will feel so proud of yourself x

I was such a habit smoker though - getting in the car was always linked to having a smoke, but not even the slightest craving at all so far.

I just thought it was a bit strange that I actually had to throw one away becuase of the feeling it gave me,

I did manage to quit once before when I had my tonsils out - but that was really tough - I was in terrible moods all the time and the cravings were unreal.

This time around I just feel good - no cravings at all,

my biggest tip for helping with the cravings is oranges ha ha....... I went through so many of these in the early weeks of quitting especially when I was at work, they helped keep my hands busy and the taste is so refreshing the last thing you want is a fag afterwards, plus they are good for you

yeah i've got a bag of fruit on standby incase I get any cravings - but nothing so far,

Only other thing I've noticed is that I have alot more wind than normal, I've been with my hubby for 6 years now and he has only heard me fart once!!! Now I'm like a bloody gas bag - although I am lucky they are silent ones!!! hahaha!!! (tmi sorry!!!)

ha ha dont worry my fella had to deal with me and my crazy mood swings.... I think quite often I used to yell at him that I was doing all of this for him and he should be more proud of me ha ha

Hmm, Bonny where abouts are u in your cycle? Only i was giving up smoking during my pregnancy wiv DD and they always made me feel sick. As soon as i gave up i couldnt be around anyone that smoked coz it made me wanna throw up, and of course wind is another symptom. xx
