Invaluable Tip - When in the pub...

Twiggy69

I attended a Stop Smoking Course a few years back and the one nugget I got from it was how to stay off the smokes while out for a night on the beer. Admittedly, it was prior to the Smoking Ban came in, but the principle remains the same.

While you were smoking, you kept your hands "busy". Now being off them, your hands are "idle". This results in you picking up your glass and drinking considerably faster & more frequently than you previously would have. The secret is to order a pint/glass of water with your drink. Sip the water, rather than gulp down the beer. It worked a treat for me. A bonus is that it "cleanses" your palatte and it gives you that "first mouthful" fresh taste all night.

Try it, what have you to loose??? It works a treat for me.

When people are smoking around you while you're drinking use a Nicorette Inhaler, even if there is no Nick O' Teen left in the cartridge. Just sucking on it helps me not even care for a smoke!
