Oh WOW! Congrats on reaching the 1 month smoke free mark! That one is huge because it's always hardest at the beginning. Now that's behind you Celebrate and carry on to greater heights. Don't forget to treat yourself

I sincerely hope the direct one on one counselling helps keep you focused and on track Lilly. Another thing that quitting will do for you is show you just how strong you can be. The feeling of pride in accomplishing this amaze you. We're always standing by here to support you and anyone else making a serious attempt at quitting this ugly addiction.

Good to hear from you Tammy I knew you hadn't disappeared!

Hope you have some time to entertain yourself doing something fun tomorrow CL! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yeah, I was wondering too. I had a look and think she may just be on holiday?

Lilly - it's the same for all of us no matter what path we take to quit smoking. NRT Champix or cold turkey; doesn't matter, It's all the same in the end. You have to be prepared to endure a short period of discomfort in order to feel normal again without smoking. It's just the way it is for everyone. Until you are prepared to go through that adjustment you will struggle and repeat the same scenario you have done for over a year now . You need to just quit smoking!! It won't kill you but continuing to smoke might just do that 😔 Based on what you have said over this past year I am very concerned that you may have already done damage to your lungs. Have you seen a pulmonologist for an assessment of your lung function in the past year? (A PFT assessment and CT Scan of your lungs) If not; please do this. You need to stop smoking right now and get your lungs checked. This is serious business. Just do it no matter what the temporary upset to you might be. You can't afford to go on like this! I'm sorry if this upsets you but you need to address your addiction to nicotine immediately! We all thought we could not live without cigarettes at one time but we have all just said ..... NO; no more!! And, we have all endured what ever discomfort we had to in order to come out the other side as non smokers. YOU CAN DO IT TOO!! You need to believe this and just do it. Like I said, quitting won;t kill you.

I was heartened to read in my local newspaper this week (yes, we still get a local newspaper - ink on paper ) that our regional school board is organizing a series of Information Sessions for senior school students regarding the possible health concerns surrounding vaping. They have recognized that vaping is being promoted to this age group as a socially acceptable thing to do if not the "cool" thing to do and are concerned that this generation of students are at risk of nicotine addiction. They have also committed funds to change all existing No Smoking signage on school properties to include "No Vaping" as well. Glad to see they are being proactive on the vaping issue.
