Some of you may recall that I have been trying to give up smoking for sometime, well this is day zero and whilst I'm still using my vape, this is the first day I haven't had a cig for probably 50 years.
I know it won't be easy, i'm hoping I don't put too much weight on, senior management hasn't smoked now for 3 months.
Wish us luck.

The very best of luck I admire how far you have both come especially during the stressful time you have been through

Good luck @woodbine.
You've done well already by cutting down but not having any at all is going to be a great achievement.
Well done to Mrs. Woodbine as well. -
Hi @woodbine, very well done, it's a great result today!
I've been trying to get three close relatives to give up smoking to no avail, I know that life-long habits are hard to break.
You and your wife are to be commended for taking this big step and I wish you both much success. -
Wishing the very best for doing this. It cant be easy. Good Luck
-
Oh wow! Good for you dude! Good luck! It will be hard but so worth it

@woodbine well done

Did you cut down to prior or smoke more?
I find the vaping works great but relapsed and i smoked more apologies for negativity!!
slow breathing techniques reducing vaping controlling or reducing vape intake as they’re a lot stronger I’m led to believe. Even after a day you start to feel better health wise it’s great!!
good luck !!!!! -

as for vaping I hope you got a good pipe some are **** especially the cheap one from corner shops, I paid 25 for mine sometimes I don’t even inhale the vape and just puff on it like a old fashioned style pipe works for me but I can inhale as long as strength of nicotine is no higher than 12mg otherwise I’m coughing quite a bit.
Works for me hopefully when all the problems with my health I can focus on quitting for good !

The vape I use is made in the UK by Gallaghers as are the pods they use, so hopefully as good as you can get.2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡
