The Stoptober 2014 Challenge - How much will you save?

Are you doing the Freepostcode lottery Woodster76? Sometimes the prize is unclaimed and it rolls over - I'm looking every day and hoping! Won't ever be £850 though, which is what I need! On menthol e cig flavour today pretty gross, tastes like dodgy old mint you'd find in an old coat!

Pat on the back for both of us!

Yes I have now joined the free postcode lottery. Never knew it existed. Check everyday. Thanks youth leader.

Hope you've changed your menthol e cig to something more palatable.

Hi everyone!

Did you give up on this thread and stayed a non-smoker?

As 11 March is #nosmokingday we'd love to hear how you did.

I just want to add that my mother has recently gone from smoking 40 a day to a maximum of 10 by using those shisha electronic things.
I want to scream it from rooftops because I'm unbelievably proud of her for making the change at the age of 65, I worry constantly that I wont have her for as long as I should because of her smoking and hopefully one day she will be away from it forever.

She's already within 3 weeks noticed that she is sleeping better, and the colour to her eyes is coming back (slight yellowing), less coughing and i noticed on the phone to her she only coughed once as opposed to every 20 seconds.

Good luck to anyone still not smoking from last Stoptober. I was a Stoptober from 2013 and still going strong.

I'm very pleased for your Mum - I'm the same, 58 and smoked for 40 years. I've just used the electronic cigarette called Vivid from Superdrug and haven't had an actual cigarette since October 1st. Have spent a few quid on the cleomisers because they eventually block, but nothing like my £90 a week habit! Keep well and I hope she continues, tobacco is such a strong drug and the chemicals in the fags are the killers - nicotine isn't as damaging and the e cig doesn't pong!
