I've been quit now for 3 years. still get hit with random cravings that seem to come from nowhere. I'm fine around smokers though the smell makes me feel bad.
I made myself feel better by eating junk and ended up putting on 23kg in weight, because of that I started to work out 5 times a week and I've not lost any weight but toned up quite nicely and all the sweaty stuff is making me feel much healthier and happier.[thumbup]

That's good to hear (especially the first part, I feel like a 10 year old when people light up around me)

Well most people say they started eating alot, (I actually quit among other reasons to gain some weight) but I'm far from hungry lol. Anyway how long have you been smoking? And how did the first weeks go after quitting? Cheers for sharing anyway
