Smoking

[manx_kitty]

I was just wondering, for those who smoke, how many cigerettes do you smoke a day. I seem to be smoking alot more at the moment due to my anxiety, nearly a 20 pack a day :weep:

Its awful isn't it, i wish i never started smoking in the first place. I only started smoking when i was 17, the first time i suffered with anxiety.

Im smoking a cigerette about ever half an hour at the moment which isn't good, i wish i could stop.

I am glad that I don't smoke, I eat, which is also very bad because now I need to lose weight and find it very hard!

I expect you have heard this before but smoking makes you more, not less anxious as nicotine is a stimulant.

The more you can cut down the better you will feel.
