Smoke in the air & cravings

Hi, mylast. Good for you for anticipating that possibility & planning ahead. As Lainey said, you won't know till it happens. Personaly, the smell of smoke makes me gag & has the opposite efect of craving, especially in large amounts. Hopefully, you'll be like that too. But if not, be prepared, maybe print a couple of posts that you find inspirational to take with you. have a great vacation!

week on on the patch

That's what I was thinking, too, aloha. The junkie in my head is used to getting an extra shot of nicotine before, after or during certain activities so when I'm doing those those things, she starts to anticipate her treat & has a trantrum when she doesn't get it. For the past week, she's been getting a steady dose & didn't notice right away that she was missing her treats. I have to work on removing those associations. How are you doing anyway, with the sadness & stuff we talked about yesterday?

Thanks, my stubble jumper buddy! I actually pay more attention to the number not smoked, I find that really motivating. Gotta say I'm proud of my myself though & can't thank you all enough!

Did everyone quit smoking??

Most Canadian cities have had smoking bylaws passed for years. The smoking rooms have been shut down for so long, I can't even remember. My city has just this year implemented a smoking ban in restaurants & bars & we were, I believe, the last to do it. You can't smoke withn 5 metres of a doorway or at any public events like festivals etc. There is talk of a ban in homes & cars when kids are in them. It's more than a fad, it's a way of life & it's about time, although smokers still grumble about it. The only problem I have with it has been brought up here before, the hypocrisy of governments that continue to reap huge amounts in taxes while saying they want a smoke-free country. The price was what finally lit a fire to me to quit, as I realized I was just paying the taxes for everyone who had already quit.
