    Hi Angry Bear, firstly congratulations for keeping it up for a year! Keep up the good work! I admire everyone who has managed it...its people like you that prove it can done :A

    I keep thinking back to when i stopped before, and i know i felt much better and it did eventually get easier...i have no idea why i started again. I think what i worry about more, is like what someone else said that they miss the 'breaks' more than the 'cigarettes'.

    I think tobacco is something that i need to do as a first thing, the rolling is a pain in the butt, lol but maybe that will help me to smoke less?!

    Hi, re the smoking thing me and my husband used to smoke 'real' cigarettes but dabbled on and off with rollies. I too felt that they were a real faff to roll. However about a year ago we realised that we just could not keep smoking cigarettes as they were so expensive and switched permanently to rollies. A year later (and yes like you I know I HAVE to quit sometime soon!) and I actually prefer them. On the odd occasion I smoke a 'real' cigarette I find them a lot harsher and I'm sure I can taste the extra chemicals in them. They also seem to take so much less time to smoke and I feel quite cheated afterwards! Not that I'm condoning smoking BTW as I know it's bad but just putting the case forward to switching to a cheaper alternative!
