Smoking YECH

I agree with easttexan it is a lifestyle issue rather than a straight out addiction, i knew i needed to change my routine to stop reaching for a 'deathstick' when habit dictated i do so.

So no lifestyle change better than a change of jobs.
The day i left was the day i quit and i havnt even thought about smoking since, really was easy once my routine had changed.

I have excercised on and off over the last year after i gave up, i know the pain you describe easttexan, i took boxing classes and pad work had me thinking i was going to die. I say work through the pain it will subside, i have and i only ride now, with little or no pain and my aerobic level is improving. Its gone from Sh*thouse to well below average but if thats the only price i have to pay for smoking im happy.

How did you go with your weight after giving up, i put on 4 stone in 6 months.
