I spend more money in restaurants, gifts for Pepette, etc ...
incredible amount of more cash each month : £5x30 days, 6 euros, 6.5$.
But breath, taste, etc ... better, incredible.
this thread is the first where i posted in CC, except an attempt years ago, when I started to seriously learn english. ty OP bnne journée and good physical exercise, K21!
You can have free membership to my gym. Brilliant that you packed up smoking but now you need to improve your overall fitness. Strengthen arms and legs, don't be a victim of crime, fight back.

Has Ron actually stopped now?
Not sure if Ron stopped smoking after cutting down. He has been having problems with his PC so haven't seen much of him on here.
k21 you make my day !

What does FB mean by "money is not the fact alone in stopping cig', except in Scotland and Auvergne (F/EU)."? You mean over here money is the main reason people quit? That wouldn't surprise me, never seen a more expensive cig than in the UK
to stop cig' is founded on savings!
in fact, u spend more money in various activities, because you enjoy life
you relly save no money, u spend it in other pleasures, real, theater, food, movies, travel, etc ...
one important thing: the cost of medical problems is lower too, even if u have a good insurance, u never go to the doctor anymore. (teeth particuliary cost me a lot, five years ago, they started to ...fall, believe it !)

k21 you make my day ! since i read your file in physical exercises, i said "i ll do it one day", and yesterday i started with the kiné of my girlfriend! I did it!!! i need it badly (+ 7kgs in two years, i dunno in sterling pounds, but it is a lot to move !! i cook all the day , pot-au-feu (stew?) is back because the weather is a pity !).
Keep at it fB. Build strength in your arms and legs for fight or flight!
Actually, thanks for asking. No I haven't quit yet, but my numbers are real low. 5 a day with the patch. My computer did quit smoking thow. LOL.
And like FB Pete, my whole body is out of shape
Once my blood starts getting oxegen again, I can start building up strength.
Ron, it's good that you only have 5 a day but don't let that increase to 6, 7 or more. Those who cut down quite often drift back to their old habits. You really shouldn't smoke whilst wearing a patch though.
Time now for you to work on those arm and leg muscles. Crime is on the rise and the weak and elderly are quite often an easy target for scum bags. Build those arms up so you can fight back, and strengthen those legs so you can run.
+1 next step is to discover that a cig NOT lited tastes and smells (don't "chew" it or eat it, lol), a cig' lited is another product, awful for the taste. Easy : i needed 20+ years to realize that! then : zero, otherwise the risk to relapse is stronger.
It was nice to re-awake that thread like Cinderella and the seven midgets (secondary effect of tobacco stop : confusion!). See u in may 2018!

See the cost of cigarettes now?!!!
Most is tax. That in itself is enough to make people want to quit.
Oh kaynight. If you have any old fivers be sure to get shot of them today or maybe tomorrow, the cut off date is 5th then they are worthless.

Hee! Hee! kayak...money talks... to me it says goodbye.
I had a windfall this week so mine said hello!
one year more yeepeee
I think I'm FINALLY making some progress.
I've been stuck at 6 cig a day for awhile. All week I FORCED myself to only have 4 a day. EUREKA!
BRAVO, but you should be sponsored by the Tobacco industry, i guess. . they lobby exactly that way! why ? because it never worked till ..u, i hope.
Seriously, one day you'll discover what ALLAN and all those who succeeded say :
"to smoke ZERO cig is easier than to limit to 5 , 10 etc ... with various plans to stop; one reason :
"the cig you lite is not the same product, has not the same taste and smell than the cig you don't lite !!!!!
then ...THERE IS ZERO REASON TO LITE IT ! "
it is so clever than i needed years to understand what that means. Lungs clean, +300 dollars / month !!
Today, Each time I think to that, i couldn't even have the slightest idea to lite one. AUTOMATICALLY!
it works, the rest may work too. Bonne chance .
NB Incredible , simultaenously to your post (no one since one year) ,
there is a tobacco gate today, manufacturers are suited for having cheated to determined cigs as "low tar nd nicotine" which is not!
may be you heard about that scandal ? the trick was about the filter, micro holes in it, and the fingers close the micro holes, the machine which takes measures don't close the micro holes !!! thus he concentration in the lung is ten times the concentration gotten by the measures of the machine !
no link in american, sorry : but a formerly bordelais understands , i guess
