  My "enough is enough" moment. My motivation was self loathing.

  A wet Sunday afternoon and I was settling down to watch a film on the VCR. Reached for the fag packet and there were about 4 in it, more than enough to last the film but my instinct was to go out and walk about 15 minutes to the nearest shop to get another box. Finding myself with my jacket and shoes on, I was disgusted at the craven addictive behaviour. I did go out but bought a box of cigars, I had decided that I would smoke as many cigars as I wanted (without inhaling) but no more cigarettes.

  On Wednesday I threw the cigars away having had the last one on Monday.

  • I read somewhere that your lungs largely clear after about 5 years. I called myself an ex-smoker for 5 years. ...comicsans
