Great free stop smoking tool

Options
For any smokers out there with a PC, a great way to subdue your cravings, as I found out when I was trying to stop, is solitaire!!!! Genius game that will honestly keep you addicted till your cravings die down. It worked for me, try it out for yourselves!!!

    sorry folks, but i've actually recently stopped (9 weeks ago) and i clicked this hoping it would be something genuinely useful (it's described as a stop smoking tool) and was pretty peeved to find it was solitaire. :mad: the title is very misleading. :rolleyes:

    maybe i need to lighten up, maybe i just need a fag!!

    i found a useful stop smoking tool over on the mse giving up smoking thread (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=445572&page=385)

    it's basically a motivational tool - it's a little meter that sits in your system tray and show how many years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds you've been stopped. it also shows how much money you've saved and how many days of your life you've saved by quitting.

    very easy to set-up and very unintrusive. only takes a second to download and install.

    it also lets you add your quit details to a forum like this just by pressing a key combination. like this:

    Two months, two days, 2 hours, 2 minutes and 2 seconds. 1281 cigarettes not smoked, saving £320.42. Life saved: 4 days, 10 hours, 45 minutes.

    brilliant :)

    thanks to Katye for this.

  • i found when i quit that all i had to do was chew some gum when i wanted a fag or go and do something, i think so many people try to quit when they are not ready i know i have done it in the past and it doesnt work or is very hard, when i choose to quit i really wanted to do it and i had no help and i managed to do it with only have chewing gum every now and then, i have since started smoking again and when feel ready will quit.

    a way to encourage yourself not to do it is everytime you feel like one google what its doing to your lungs!
