    I really must stop smoking and now that my brand (ones that come in a gold packet and the manufacturer's name has the initials B & H..... just making sure I can't be accused of advertising without permission) has reached the ridiculous price of £5.98 even in a supermarket, I have devised a cunning plan that even Baldrick would be proud of.

    I'm going buy all of my ciggies with a credit card and I'm going to use one of my credit cards exclusively for the purchase ciggies in the hope that when I get the credit card statement in for that card, I'll be so disgusted with myself for wasting all that money and my lack of willpower, I'll stop smoking the stupid things forever.

    30 pence each

    I know a pub in Las Pinas where I can get a beer for that price!

    I'd much rather have a beer although I seem to be giving up beer as well these days

    £5.98 for a pack of B & H, is that what it is now? I remember saying I'd quit before it reaches a fiver a pack, but I just swapped to a cheaper brand.

    Has anybody ever succeeded in this enterprise and, if so, how did you do it?

    Of course Alan. As I stated on another forum, since resuming my work after the Christmas break I have been working (almost) all day and (almost) every day. I am absolutely shattered!! Just arrived home after a self-imposed early Friday finish. It is now 3.30 p.m. and I intend to recharge my batteries this weekend.

    Whenever I fancy a cigarette now I say to myself, "Do I really want this one?" If the answer is 'No' then I decline. I suppose a rough approximation would be that I have 'cut down' from a pack a day to about 10. Still 'not good' in your eyes, I know - but bloody good for me!!!

    Now, where's that bottle of brandy??

    You have a good point there Fred.
    The booze really wasn't doing me any favours in many ways
    I won't go into it in detail, but alcohol certainly increases ones desire to light up.
    Am happy to announce that I have finally quit, and feel much better for it, not to mention the 2 grand a year better off aspect

    Tell us where & when & we'll all be there.

    I used to smoke, when I was younger...You have to really want to give it up, to be able to.
    Fitzy's post puts it in to perspective, from the financial aspect....Smokers look so sad, in this country, all huddled together outside in the cold.
