Hi all,
So, I know I'm going to get slaps on the wrist for this but I am an asthmatic who smokes... Yep. Started because of uni and drinking, with everyone smoking in my block in halls I picked it up. I quit for about 4 months then in second year started again after stoptober. I would classify myself as a social smoker ( even though it's a silly name, I'm a smoker) I tend to have a cigarette/ crave one if I drink or just out of the blue. Couple of days a go, I ended up in a&e because I had wheezing and no inhaler but it's been a wake up call for me. I need to stop full stop.
It's odd how I have health anxiety about my heart, lungs, brain etc but yet I still smoke and drink (even though I've never been drunk)
Can anyone recommend a good stop smoking plan? Or website. I had an NHS kit but chucked it thinking I was going to turn into Audry Hepburn by smoking.
My anxiety has been ok at present, been feeling a bit low but I'm working on that. Thanks to those who've helped me in the last few months :)
