smoking
the reason i started:
to force my self to take a break when working on code and i'm getting stuck in a rut on a problem.

the reason i continued:
it was a great way to meet new people, especially when the smoking ban came in and you had to go out side to smoke, because then it was quieter, and you could actually stand their and talk.

advantage from the smoking ban:
every single club that wanted to allow people to smoke, had to get some form of outside area, which i can now use to go cool off, instead of using smoking as a reason not to be dancing

why i'm addicted:
bordem. i love to roll up. i have recently, when my mates have decided to make a roll up/have a cig, gone to make one my self. and by time i've made one, i don't want to smoke it, because i want to get back to what i was doing, and my mates have usually finished theirs.

how i'm going to try and quit:
NRTs

• patch


• an all day nicotine system


• for people who want to smoke all day


• has no interaction with getting the nicotine




• Gum/lozengiers
• 
  
  • for people who want something to do with their mouths
  
  
  • taste foul
  
  
  
  
• Inhaller


• from what i tried last night, VERY strong.


• gives my hands something to, and my mouth




• cold turkey on the nicotine


• will give me an idea on how much i need to actually intake

cold turkey method:
carry pad o paper and a pencil for me to keep my hands busy.
buy sweeties like lollies. or find some sort of fruit/veg that i can just chew in my mouth like licorice root.
