I ordered my supply of AS and CC a week and a half ago and have been reading the forums ever since. Its great to see that it is working for some people. Hopefully it will arrive soon and i can start this journey with you all. Have put on about 4 kilos now since i gave up smoking 2 months ago.. Have no cravings for cigarettes now so i figure its time to lose the weight that i have gained. Hopefully i get some results.
@ donna: welcome to the forum.i hope you receive yours soon.i always wonder why people gain weight whenever they stop smoking. i've never been a smoker so i don't know why.
but of course, i wouldn't suggest smoking to lose weight. haha! it's dangerous. glad you cut back on that and do not crave for it anymore. i heard some people really had a hard time totally giving up smoking. so, great job for that!
I found giving up smoking easy but I still have cravings especially when I'm stressed out. The only reason I haven't taken it up again is because it's so expensive, I would rather spend the money on clothes and shoes.

Why Belle? Are you a chain smoker? I never smoked because my mom told me when I was young that 1 stick will kill 12 minutes of my life. Moms are the best to give lessons.
I used patches initially to give up but I only had to use them for a week and I was fine. I'm amazed I was able to give up to be honest, I never thought I'd be able to but it was easy.

@ belle if you really want to it will just be easy for you.. like me i really want to lose weight so im trying my best to do everything.. i want to thank acai for helping me lose weight.. i hope acai will help me till to the very end of achieving my target goal:to lose 40 kg.. lucky for me ive already lost 5.2kg..
good job on giving up smoking I gave up 5 years ago and is the best decision I ever made I can actually run now, and bonus I dont cough when I wake or after eating lol, I used to have to clear my throat after eating food as smoking burns all the fine hairs in your throat how gross huh
I never had that problem "thank god" it just got to expensive for me and to be honest I was embarrassed to call myself a smoker. I can't run because I've got bad knees, bad back etc etc but I do walk every day. Even when I'm in pain I still go for a walk.

I was embarrased also belle, if i ever had to answer the question about how many i smoked a day I would tell them 1/4 lol from a pack of 30 a day down to 10 I felt good saying 10 haha
guys, did you know that second hand smoke or SHS is more dangerous?
an excerpt from the internet: "Second hand smoke causes serious health problems. Children whose parents smoke are more likely to get ear infections, bronchitis and lung infections. They are more likely to die in house fires and are 4 times more likely to be a victim of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.The non smoking spouse of a smoker has a 20% increase risk of getting cancer and a 30% higher risk of developing heart disease. Children of smokers are more likely to smoke themselves.
Second hand smoke is a toxic ****tail consisting of poisons and carcinogens. There are over 4000 chemical compounds in second hand smoke; 200 of which are known to be poisonous, and upwards of 60 have been identified as carcinogens.
When a cigarette is smoked , about half of the smoke is inhaled/exhaled(mainstream smoke) by the smoker and the other half floats around in the air(side stream smoke). Environmental tobacco smoke(ETS) or second hand smoke plays a part in more health problems than you might realize. The following facts point out why it is so important to have smoking bans in place. No one should be forced to breathe in air tainted with cigarette smoke.
Some chemical compounds found in smoke only become carcinogenic after they've come into contact with certain enzymes found in many of the tissues of the human body."
Did you know that 30 years ago three quarters of the population smoked but now it's down to one quarter of the population.
I only gave up smoking in May and found it quite easy. I still get cravings though but I don't think I'd take it up again. My 14year old daughter is dead against smoking so hopefully she'll never take it up.
