Good idea, Phil and Lynne. The weather here has been cold and rainy and I purposely didn't empty the ashtray in the back yard over the weekend. Each time I smoked I had to look at the pile of brown rainsoaked butts. Then I could really see all the crap and gunge that was going into me every time I smoked.
Those yucky looking butts showed smoking for what it really was.
NO MORE!!!!
Cheers, Jan

Just keep thinking i've come to far to quit quitting now. Even after 12 hours, thats a lot of hard work, why would you want to go back to it? Also the smell when you come home from being around smokers on your clothes is horrible! I don't want to smell like that again!

Lets all do a one liner each with our top tip to help the newbies..
When you crave look at and smell a dirty ashtray not the clean crisp packet of smokes.

When I wanted to smoke, I would take a deep breath - and remember how hard it was to do that when I smoked!!!
Crave the Quit!

When I think about smoking (actually, I never really do think about smoking as such, just get uncomfortable and/or cranky) I tot up all of the money I've saved. I'm a single parent to 2 girls and money has been really tight for many years. I used to go into the cheap supermarket and buy cheap food, ration the "treats" if any, that I got for the girls, then they'd stand and watch as I spent the small fortune that my habit was costing me. The guilt was utterly horrendous. And I don't thave that any more!

Without a doubt this site has kept me honest. I do not want to smell like an ash tray. OMG the stench is awful, I like smelling like cherry blossems ;p Today I can look in the mirrow and say " I am a non-smoker :)." To say say that is so worth it.
