    Was a 20 a day smoker for 15 years, started very young. Went on the e-cigs for a month. now my fourth day going cold turkey and I'm going crazy! Any1 have any advice. I've after taking a golf club and battering old tv's and and an old monitor in my garage. Basically going cracked with the withdrawl. Only thing that could take mind of cigarattes at the time. Any advice plz!!!! On way to gym/swimming pool so hopefully that helps. Its going to be a rough night though. Didn't have it half as bad the other three days. Hope this the final withdrawl stage as i'm in bits

    Why didn't you stay on the e-cig? You can gradually reduce the amount of nicotine you're inhaling and eventually end up puffing thin air, then just throw the thing out. Might take a year but you'll be off the fags for good.

    Keep calm and carry on your doing good 4 days with no crutch is an achievement in itself. Start focusing on the positives, smelling good, looking good, more money to splash on yourself.
    Start congratulating yourself your nearly there..go have a treat, hot chocolate muffin with ice cream, it beats the ass off filty cigarettes.

    I just want to be rid of them, said I'd quit before 30 which I nearly am. Girlfriend over with me, not going gym helping me through it, hopefully will be grand 2moro. I can see why the fags are more addictive than Heroin, chriast allmighty

    5th day off em today, think I'm over the physical addiction bit, would like a fag/vape but i think its more habit now . Probably will get an oul bad craving time to time but no chance in hell I'm going back on them. Not going to go to pub for a month as well just to make sure.
