Stress or boredom can make you crave a fag.


I would suggest staying away from watching anything Sam Allardyce has anything to do with.


Another reason he should go.






You're welcome

I used an inhaler for I think 4 days then cold Turkey

Otherwise you only end up having withdrawals from your substitute to come

Gave up about 5 years ago, and I could quite easily spark one up virtually every day.

It doesn't help that my mrs gave up at the same time as me, and lasted about 4 days. She still smokes and it definitely makes it harder when I can smell it all the time.

Having said that, there's no way I'd start again because then I wouldn't have the moral high ground over her.

Gave up fags no problem bar the first few weeks of cravings - just keep busy and keep boiled sweets on you - I found that worked.

Only ever drink socially now and thatis a max of 4 pints - also foud that easy as wasn't enjoying it any more.

Ask me to give up food that I like and there is no chance!

I'm the opposite, pretty much turns my stomach when i smell a cigarette now. no interest whatsoever.

Using a vapo ain't really giving up smoking though is it?
Also it might not be any more betterer than proper smoking.

Re: How long does it take to stop craving a fag after you've given up smoking?

Also, I just went cold turkey, had tried patches and stuff in previous attempts.

I did listen to some stop smoking CD that sent me to sleep, so that might have helped sub-consciously.

I went 4 weeks without 1 , more to do with a nasty cough . . .

It's not that you never crave them again, it's just that you can win the battles more easily.

As for timescale, depends on you, how much you smoked, how closely you associate smoking with daily routines, other actions and so on.

Re: How long does it take to stop craving a fag after you've given up smoking?

you never really lose it, or I certainly haven't. Gave up for year and half and recently started again. Pathetic

Re: How long does it take to stop craving a fag after you've given up smoking?

I would love to be able to have just one or two a day but it don't work like that.

Re: How long does it take to stop craving a fag after you've given up smoking?

Having ONE a day/week etc still means you smoke - giving up means NOT SMOKING AT ALL. Saying that, when I was in Vegas as a non smoker I had a cigar at the poker table but luckily never went back to smoking after which was good as being in vegas where you can smoke in casinos, hotel rooms etc makes it harder

Chew gum.



Mind you, you might end up like Allardyce and be hooked to that.



What a fat mess he looks slobbering on the touchline or slumped in his chair chewing with his mouth open like a cow dribbling as it chews the cud.


He is an embarrassment to this club and needs to go.

Re: How long does it take to stop craving a fag after you've given up smoking?

Gave up 16 months ago after 30 years, the vast majority of time I have no desire to smoke at all but other times I get a real urge. Can be anytime anywhere and not the times you think, pub or after a meal.Urge doesn’t last long though as the thought of the taste/smell puts me off again.
Mate of mine last week starting smoking again after 5 years off, said he fancied a packet and would stop again once he finished them. Very odd.

Mum got cancer and I stopped that day and have never smoked since that was 15years ago,I think you have to really want to.

Myth #1: E-cigarettes will soon be illegal.

Fact: Perhaps in some places, but not in the U.S. Some places have tried to ban them, but as e-cigarettes become more mainstream and accepted, this is unlikely to happen.

Myth #2: E-cigarettes are bad for you because nicotine is bad for you. Therefore, they are not much different than tobacco smoke.

Fact: This is just plain wrong. While nicotine is very addictive, studies have shown its effects on the body to be minimal. The problem with traditional cigarettes is the additives, smoke and chemicals, not so much the nicotine.

Myth #3: E-cigarettes are dangerous because no one really knows what’s in them.

Fact: Not the case when you are dealing with a reputable company. Any legit e-cigarette brand will disclose ingredients, so you truly do know what’s in them. And if you do your research on every ingredient, you’ll definitely know what you’re inhaling.

Myth #4: E-cigarettes can explode in your face.

Fact: Not true in general terms, unless you tinker with e-liquid, use batteries not specified for your model, or plainly disregard instructions. Learn as much as you can beforehand, and you will see that the vast majority of e-cigarettes will not explode in your face if you are using them according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Myth #5: E-cigarettes are more expensive than traditional cigs.

Fact: Depends on the brand, but for the most part electronic cigarettes are generally more efficient in every way, especially when it comes to cost! EverSmoke, just like many brands, are priced very competitively, and refills cost significantly less than traditional cigarettes.

Myth #6: E-cigarettes contain chemicals too.

Fact: Again, depends on the brand, but generally no. If people are marketing and selling dangerous things, and falsifying them, chances are it will catch up big time. Choose your brand wisely, research the market, and go for a trusted brand.

Myth #7: E-cigarettes can cause cancer, too

Fact: Not true. Studies are emerging that dispel this myth. Electronic cigarettes contain no tobacco and leave behind no tar, so the main carcinogenic components are not present to create a problem, like cigarette smoke.

Myth #8: E-cigarettes do not contain nicotine

Fact: Yes and no. You can have cartridges with different levels of nicotine, ranging from 6mg-18mg with EverSmoke for instance, as well as 0mg nicotine cartridges if you choose to go that route. While the nicotine levels may vary, most electronic cigarette companies do offer nicotine-free options.

Myth #9: E-cigarettes taste bad.

Fact: Not EverSmoke! If there is one thing our customers love, it’s our great flavors! Everyone’s got different tastes and different ideas of what’s “good,” and especially in the early days of electronic cigarettes, there were many reports of them leaving a bad taste in the mouth. Things have changed since then however, and most brands recognize the importance of having pleasing flavors!

Myth #10: E-cigarettes are more addictive than regular cigs.

Fact: Not true. Maybe more addictive in the pleasurable sense and the convenience factors, but you will not crave the nicotine in electronic cigarettes any more than you did with tobacco.

Myth #11: Vapor from e-cigarettes is just like second hand smoke.

Fact: This could not be farther from the truth. Vapor is literally vapor, not smoke, or any tobacco byproduct or constituent. E-cigarette vapor has no smell, no lingering odor, or anything to it that will offend bystanders.

Myth #12: E-cigarette companies are trying to lure in nonsmokers.

Fact: No! E-cigarettes are made and designed for current smokers! Millions of people are using them as a means to control and lessen their cigarette usage, and smart e-cigarette companies are not interested in acquiring nonsmokers.

Myth #13: E-cigarettes are made with anti-freeze.

Gross, and not true. This is perhaps one of the most common myths swirling about. Why would a company make themselves susceptible to lawsuits by using highly toxic chemicals in their products? Any brand that takes pride in their products, and plans to be around for the long term will not be using dangerous chemicals such as anti-freeze in their products meant for consumption!

Myth #14: Kids and teenagers can purchase e-cigarettes.

Fact: This one is kind of funny. Kids and teenagers will have the same problems purchasing electronic cigarettes as they would purchasing tobacco cigarettes. You have to be a minimum of 18 years old, and 19 in certain states to purchase tobacco products. And as far as e-cigarettes go, they contain nicotine. In this sense, they are considered tobacco products.

Myth #15: E-cigarettes are designed to attract teenagers to use them, especially when it comes to the sweet flavors and trendy packaging.

Fact: They are not made to appeal to children or underage people at all. You have to reach a certain age requirement to purchase electronic cigarettes just as you would if you were purchasing tobacco products. Nicotine is a substance not intended for use by minors, whether it’s from tobacco products or vapor cigarettes. Exciting flavors and attractive packaging appeal to everyone, regardless of age. The range of age groups who electronic cigarettes crosses the spectrum, but doesn’t include minors. You’d be surprised how many elderly people love using e-cigarettes, and love the different flavors they have at their choosing.

As with anything new, there are certainly going to be myths that get started, whether it’s based on plain old misinformation, or more insidious reasons. Having the right facts and discussing them in the right way is key to dismantling these common myths.
