I am glad I don't work where you do :eek::eek: I think I would spend most of the time trying to avoid the giggles

Bubbs, I really admire you for admitting to giving up on here, even more convinced that you are going to manage it precisely because of that.

On another note, I broke a tooth and it would appear it will have to come out, not looking forward to that one :eek:

Thanks, well that what i thought and to be honest, cant see DH doing it as i use my e cig like a cig but he doesn't:mad: this is what they are for!
Hope you get tooth sorted

Ooooh. Good plan. I've never smoked and am glad as I have no real will power. (If my chocolate addiction is anything to go by. :rotfl:)

Are you going cold turkey? Either way, I think it's great and apparently you should feel the benefits within weeks. (Sooner for your pocket maybe. ):T

Well done on getting through your last day and escaping the rat race queen of cheap. It sounds like your colleagues thought very highly of you

DH's work is doing a food bank collection on Monday, so my pop tarts will be finding a new home. I've also done a cc order to pick up first thing tomorrow to get some more things for it, so threw in a couple of lynxgold at 97p as well, just to see what happens.

Heading west to visit my mum tomorrow morning. She's quite poorly again

So pleased to hear you've quit smoking bubbs

TRYING:eek::eek: so far so good:T:T

Stopping smoking...................one day at a time bubbs:A:A

Within ...


20 minutes

Your blood pressure, pulse rate and the temperature of your hands and feet have returned to normal.
8 hours

Remaining nicotine in your bloodstream has fallen to 6.25% of normal peak daily levels, a 93.75% reduction.

12 hours

Your blood oxygen level has increased to normal. Carbon monoxide levels have dropped to normal.
24 hours

Anxieties have peaked in intensity and within two weeks should return to near pre-cessation levels.
48 hours

Damaged nerve endings have started to regrow and your sense of smell and taste are beginning to return to normal. Cessation anger and irritability will have peaked.
72 hours

Your entire body will test 100% nicotine-free and over 90% of all nicotine metabolites (the chemicals it breaks down into) will now have passed from your body via your urine. Symptoms of chemical withdrawal have peaked in intensity, including restlessness. The number of cue induced crave episodes experienced during any quitting day have peaked for the "average" ex-user. Lung bronchial tubes leading to air sacs (alveoli) are beginning to relax in recovering smokers. Breathing is becoming easier and your lung's functional abilities are starting to increase.
5 - 8 days

The "average" ex-smoker will encounter an "average" of three cue induced crave episodes per day. Although we may not be "average" and although serious cessation time distortion can make minutes feel like hours, it is unlikely that any single episode will last longer than 3 minutes. Keep a clock handy and time them.
10 days

10 days - The "average" ex-user is down to encountering less than two crave episodes per day, each less than 3 minutes.
10 days to 2 weeks

Recovery has likely progressed to the point where your addiction is no longer doing the talking. Blood circulation in your gums and teeth are now similar to that of a non-user.
2 to 4 weeks

Cessation related anger, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, impatience, insomnia, restlessness and depression have ended. If still experiencing any of these symptoms get seen and evaluated by your physician.
21 days

The number of acetylcholine receptors, which were up-regulated in response to nicotine's presence in the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, basal ganglia, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum regions of the brain, have now substantially down-regulated, and receptor binding has returned to levels seen in the brains of non-smokers (2007 study).
2 weeks to 3 months

Your heart attack risk has started to drop. Your lung function is beginning to improve.
3 weeks to 3 months

Your circulation has substantially improved. Walking has become easier. Your chronic cough, if any, has likely disappeared. If not, get seen by a doctor, and sooner if at all concerned, as a chronic cough can be a sign of lung cancer.
8 weeks

Insulin resistance in smokers has normalized despite average weight gain of 2.7 kg (2010 SGR, page 384).
1 to 9 months

Any smoking related sinus congestion, fatigue or shortness of breath has decreased. Cilia have regrown in your lungs, thereby increasing their ability to handle mucus, keep your lungs clean and reduce infections. Your body's overall energy has increased.
1 year

Your excess risk of coronary heart disease, heart attack and stroke has dropped to less than half that of a smoker.
5 years

Your risk of a subarachnoid haemorrhage has declined to 59% of your risk while still smoking (2012 study). If a female ex-smoker, your risk of developing diabetes is now that of a non-smoker (2001 study).
5 to 15 years

Your risk of stroke has declined to that of a non-smoker.
10 years

Your risk of being diagnosed with lung cancer is between 30% and 50% of that for a continuing smoker (2005 study). Risk of death from lung cancer has declined by almost half if you were an average smoker (one pack per day). Risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus and pancreas have declined. Risk of developing diabetes for both men and women is now similar to that of a never-smoker (2001 study).
13 years

The average smoker who is able to live to age 75 has 5.8 fewer teeth than a non-smoker (1998 study). But by year 13 after quitting, your risk of smoking induced tooth loss has declined to that of a never-smoker (2006 study).
15 years

Your risk of coronary heart disease is now that of a person who has never smoked. Your risk of pancreatic cancer has declined to that of a never-smoker (2011 study - but note 2nd pancreatic study making identical finding at 20 years).
20 years

Female excess risk of death from all smoking related causes, including lung disease and cancer, has now reduced to that of a never-smoker (2008 study). Risk of pancreatic cancer has declined to that of a never-smoker (2011 study).

I do tend to laugh a lot, but I managed to respond with a very straight face... that is why I think they increased the level of depravity to a new level!

Sorry to hear about the tooth, can it not be capped?

Bubbs, I love you girl x
