Are there any members planning to stop smoking tomorrow? It's the best thing you could do for your health, especially if you have diabetes 🙂

Good luck to everyone wanting to stop 🙂

How are you doing it? Cold turkey, or patches/gum etc.? Best to go cold turkey I think. Nicotene stays in your system for about 3 weeks, once you are over that withdrawal then it's just down to breaking the habit and avoiding places/people where you might be tempted to smke. Patches and gum just keep you addicted, so for me it's better to do the tough stuff - breaking the addiction - whilst you are still full of determination 🙂

Think of the money you'll save and as each day goes by just how much healthier you'll be getting. Well worth the effort of giving up

Lots of people do give up smoking and stay given up. Smoking is very addictive so it is hard.

When i saw my DSN she asked me if i smoked, i said no but i pan to "Why would you want to do that" she asked. I pointed to a poster on the wall, it showed all the health benifits of giving up smoking, i said i havn't got them now, so if i start and give up, i may get them.
