No help at all, just said to myself "This is costing me a fortune, what a mug", I never smoked again after that and told people how easy it was to stop dead, ( I was not telling the truth) and I didn't dare start again for fear of people taking the mickey.
After about a year I had saved up so much money that I managed to sell a two litre Ford Capri and buy Jack Walkers two year old BMW 5.25 for cash.
If my wife stopped we would have a Rolls Royce in the garage now.

When I stopped Gremlin I did it exactly like you, well not quite, I smoked 50 Embassy no1 as previously stated. in Jan 1978 I was in bed with a very bad dose of Bronchitis, the doc asked me if I smoked, then said I'm not asking you to give up just cut down and smoke a lower tar brand. After being in bed for a few days (when I hadn't had a fag) I picked up an unopened pack of cigs and my Zippo lighter and said that's it I've stopped smoking and I haven't had one since

Well when I stopped I began to put weight on, but I recon if I hadn't given up then you lucky people on Accy Web wouldn't have had the pleasure of my company every day now

So if you smoke what your poison and what do they cost, would be very interested

I packed up smoking May 2009 - I was on Golden Virginia roll ups, was getting good quality black market 2 oz packs for £5 (half price), which used to last me 2 weeks. Then when the quality fell and became awful I was buying full price and I then decided to stop. One days it just clicked and I stopped over night. It was easy - I rarely get cravings. In the 90's I was smoking about 40 a day and got a lot free as I used to service cigarette machines.
