[Office Worker.




I was a 15-20 a day man until last year. I had previously given up for about 12 months a few years ago but started back up again.

I had tried everything, patches, gum, I even did hypnosis therapy in the garage of a small indian's man house, whilst his wife was cooking dinner in the kitchen (I ended up smoking 2 cigarettes and buying a curry on my walk back to the train station).

I have no idea what it was that actually made me stop smoking and it bugs the living hell out of me. All I can put it down to was simply "I can not afford to do this anymore". NZ$30 for a pouch of tobacco was getting too steep for someone with a family to support.

I really had hoped that I wasn't as shallow as that, but it turns out I am. This month is my first year without a cigarette.

Do I feel healthier? No.
Do I feel better about myself? Not any better than I did when I smoked.
Do I have extra cash to spend on my wife and kids every week? Yes.
Will I live longer to spend more time with my family? I guess, but who cares.
