I gave up smoking in 1988 when and my first wife decided to try for a baby. I smoked 40 Marlboro a day and about 60 a day at the weekends. I went to see a hypnotist for 3 occasions and couldn't believe that i dropped from 40 a day to 5 in under 2 weeks. I don't even think it was real hypnotism but gentle relaxation and thought suggestion. The lady doing it made a tape and i would listen to it every evening lying on my bed in the dark. The sessions were £25 a time and I'd actually stopped after the 2nd session.
I started smoking again in '93 after a friend came around who smoked rollies with Liquorice papers. Damn, i went straight onto 20 a day but quit again after 2 weeks when i realised how quickly i was hooked again. I've not touched one since.
My daughter from my first marriage used to smoke but has mostly given up but my 2 sons from my second marriage both smoke, even though their Mother and I have never smoked in their lives. It breaks my heart that they do. I can honestly say that smoking is my biggest regret in life. Except running around with my trousers around my ankles and going gobble gobble every time someone says Holiday Turkey. Click, and you're back in the room.
