I did it with the help of my GP who ran a quit smoking clinic - I went to see him twice a day for a few days, then daily, then twice a week...
That was ten years or more ago, though.
Still find I fancy the odd one, but the real habit thing went within months.
Its both easier and harder than you think - but when you have done it and look back on it, you'll see how easy it really was...

Good to hear from you mate. Thank you for this invaluable feedback. If I were to create a quit smoking thread here on Sensitize, would you submit this poem? I plan to do a diary of my first few experiences and possibly a poem or two. Hopefully other members will join in. Could even lead to a publication if I push it up the line to funders... No rush deciding Mike. At your leisure my friend...
Cheers ...

Anything you can contribute would be splendid Mike and very much appreciated.
Thank you ...
Edit 23.39 - 30th January, 2007:
Mike. Or any other active member on here. Do you have poems or can you write poems that address the disgusting amounts of tax levied on tobacco?
The points in particular that I'm looking to raise are that:
If the government were truly committed to getting the nation healthy again. They should start by distancing themselves from tax profit and all profit from the promotion of such a lethal product.
They either care or they don't. There is no middle ground on an issue as serious as the nation's health.
Statistics may be useful. I will set about doing some research on this over the next few days.
Edit: 02.09.07 4.14am - Changing wording slightly and correcting grammar.

done as requested - sorry to take so long but I'm breaking in a new laptop, which has taken me a while to setup - that plus a visit to the doctor's last thursday when I was advised that I'd had a silent heart attack at some time in the past which threw me. I had no idea at all...
I'll get round to adding something new fairly soon.

Thank you so much for opening the thread up for me. I'll get cracking over the next few days, uploading other material on this theme.
Be gentle with your good self dude.
Your fellow pen and pal ...
