The Giving Up Smoking Thread!!

TOBRUK

Subjects? Have you any idea of what job you would like at the end of your studies?

Adzha

Definately want to go into business, got work experience in a bank in June which might be useful, and would like my own business one day.

Subjects - IT, Business Studies, Leisure & Tourism, German and Italian.
Got to get my GCSEs first (god its stressful being 15)

Well first of all I had no idea of your age and I must say you are very mature for your tender age (and I am not being patronising) I really thought you were an adult. You have a good head on you and I'm glad that you have an idea of what you would like to do. My neice has just begun her first year at university and she hasn't got a clue what she wants to do!

You say it's stressful being 15 - as long as you learn how to deal with it you will be ok. You will have stress through your life, there are different kinds and at times hard to deal with.

Oh no Frugaljo you must have been gutted! The thing is that smoking with a patch on you could have a stroke!

Tob, I honestly didn't think that. Big gulp ! Couldn't tell you what the strength was.

Thanks

At least you didn't judge smoking at my age.

TOBRUK

Frugaljo, I know I didn't know until recently - my nextdoor neighbour is in the health service (she smokes) and she knew I had patches and that I was faulting. She made me promise that I wouldn't have a cigarette while I had a patch on because of the risk!! One good thing is that if I did stick a patch on one morning that fact would scare me not to have a sneaky cig!

Certainly not Adzha, how on earth could I judge you while I myself smoke? However old you are that would be hipocritical (have I spelt that right ha!) of me. Can I ask what age were you starting smoking?

Adzha

13 I think.

TOBRUK

Not to worry, you are trying to give up and are succeeding. I started smoking in my twenties! Very strange as before then I was so dead against smoking and vowed I would never smoke!! They do say ... never say never!;)
