I'm with Mark, I don't want to even try one after stopping 5 years ago as I'm concerned I might go straight back to 20+ a day.
I stopped because I wanted to stop work early and I couldn't afford to while smoking. I had a cupboard full of duty free amassed over a number of trips and I said when i run out of them, that's it.
That took quite some months (not because I slowed though), and ended up that I was stopping on the Sunday two or three days before Christmas Day (and I was still working, till the march after). The lady at the smoking clinic said not to do it then as it would be mega difficult, but my mind was set and I didn't want any more excuses so that's what I did. I didn't even use the patches and stuff she gave me, or the rather pricey vape thing I'd bought.
Maybe because my motivation was so strong I actually found it much easier than expected, partly because as Zero said it was easier when not everyone around you in the pub was still smoking.
there are times when I momentarily fancy one but it's not a lasting feeling. I've just come back from a few days in Cornwall staying with walkers, and we went for a fairly hilly 5 mile walk on Dartmoor which I don't think I'd have been able to complete 5 years ago. it's sure worth doing it, so good luck!!
!"!
btw Fullchat - you have to EARN that £3.6k a year so it's more like £5k before tax...!!
