  • Eric Page describes his journey to stop smoking. Why he started, how he's tried to quit before, and how he finally gave up with the help of smoking cessation services in Brighton & Hove.
    Giving up has immediate health benefits, no matter how long you’ve smoked for. It’s the single best thing you can do for your health.
    Brighton & Hove City Council has teamed up with Switchboard, an LGBTQ organisation in the city, to ensure the community knows there is support available to help them quit.
    The council’s e-cigarette friendly service offers free one to one support along with licensed stop smoking medications at the cost of a prescription.
    More than 10,000 smokers have quit smoking in the last four years in Brighton & Hove.
    More information on kicking the habit, and the support available, can be found at www.switchboard.org.uk/stop-smoking

    Already 2 months cigarettes free
    I have used electric cigarette for quitting
    1st week 18 mg nicotine capsules
    2nd week 12 mg nicotine capsules
    3rd week 9 mg
    4th week 2.5 mg nicotine capsules mixing with 0 mg nicotine capsules
    week 5 only 0 mg nicotine capsules
    I have even stopped electric cigarette
    I think this is the best way for quitting
    Because I have smoked for 16 years and tried many times to quit but never made it more than 2 days
    But now I am feeling great better than what I have expected.

      It all depends, man. There are a multitude of different ways to quit. The key to quitting is that you eventually reach a point where 1. you aren't smoking/vaping anything, and 2. you aren't consuming any nicotine at all, & finally 3. All habits around smoking have been thwarted. Once you accomplish steps 1-3 for 90 days, then congrats you're basically a non-smoker again!! Keep on going man!!
      For me, I quit half a dozen times, til this time, where I went straight to the step 3 nicotine patch for a week, then stopped nicotine altogether. It hurt more, but it worked better for me to get off it and heal faster, which isn't the case for everyone. For me, it's like that for stimulants, but not downers.

    Luckily, I guess, I had a good scare with my right lung that lasted several weeks where I cut my smoking down to almost zero. by the time I found out I was OK, I decided since I already had gone this far, why not quit. And I did. Actually at first the hardest part was that morning cig and coffee... I just stood there in the kitchen, drinking coffee, asking myself (without the cigarette), "Now what?" I showered and went to work. After a day or two I didn't have that feeling. But I will say, coffee was a big help.

    Smoking is one of the main causes of preventable death worldwide. The Scriptures say: “God . . . gives to all people life and breath.” (Acts 17:24, 25) Since life is a gift from God, we should not do anything that would shorten our life, such as smoking.
