    It gets easier the longer you abstain for - although a lot of smokers say that they will always be

    addicted, it just becomes easier to manage.

    You need to be strong enough to realise it's a massively horrible process but that your life and general well-being will improve long term as a result.

    Look at poor Cruyff - didn't listen to the medical advice and now will die from cancer.

    It's not 'massively horrible', it's just tiresome and slightly unpleasant.

    This is half the problem, you see? Everyone makes out like giving up smoking is equivalent to climbing f**king Everest or something. It's not. You feel a bit ****ty for a couple of days and after that you just have to display a little bit of willpower.

    It's not actually that hard. Unfortunately, there is an industry devoted to telling everyone it is and trying to sell them unnecessary **** like patches and gum.

    I end up with this nervous/hungry feeling and this mental rage feeling.

    How long does that last?

    I am not really supposed to be a smoker.#
    I only started when I was single to get womens.

    That lasts a couple of days. Those are just spikes of panic as the drug leaves your system.

    Breathe deeply and they pass.

    Only takes 3 days to leave your system apparently.

    Hmm my boss is off this week. Might be a good time.

    The nervous/husngry thing is the nicotine withdrawal. Lasts about 3-4 days

    And patches would help with that.

    The rage is probably as much about the habit. I think the trick is to convince yourself that you are not being denied anything. You dont want to smoke, it is just a hanit that convinces you that you do.

    Unless of course you do want to smoke in which case stop trying to give up and just enjoy a lovely fag

    I have smoked many cigarettes in my life but never been a smoker. Should it only be smokers that are

    allowed to give advice on the subject?
