Yes it did!

I used Hootoo (the PC is upstairs and I never did smoke there) and nicotine patches. After 10 weeks I was a non-smoker! smiley - diva

Hah, I enjoy my booze and fags, so I will maintain my remaining vices while there is air to breathe and a stomach to fill with beer and wine! smiley - rofl

I have been trying to 'manage' my smoking. Since i have moved house, the only place I will smoke now is at the PC.

Of course that is a double edged sword as less smoking is less internet time - until I have got it kicked anyway.

But I found cutting out smoking in the bedroom a small step and one I could cope with, that has now extended to no smoking anywhere but the living room, then only at the PC.

Small steps, but psychologically it has helped to enforce the grip of smoking.
