Have you noticed the difference in the way that some food tastes and smells, keep it up you will in time, notice how you breathing will improve dramatically.

I have never smoked by the way but a few friends of mine have told me about the above changes they have noticed.

welcome to the club!   I had my last one in Cronulla at 7.20 pm on 26th March 1995.  Went on patches for 90 days after stopping on 40 gaspers a day.     Made it easy to give up after I accepted the fact I had a nicotine addiction.   Haven't looked back but I do occasionally feel an urge to have one but the sensation goes as quick as it came on....   bloody awful things they are....  save on $$$ and buy yourself some new good tackle or a holiday!

Good man. I've passed the info about the book onto the Mrs as her mum has been a heavy smoker since around 14 and when she's on the drink pretty much lights a new fag with the one she's about to finish.
