And most smokers will go through that in a couple of days easy, so your looking at what, more than £2,500 a year to smoke?

He's a pack-a-day smoker so he's closer to 5K a year.

Yoga classes are the way to sort that right out and you get pretty good at balancing thrown in to the mix too.  Highly recommend.

Rocket league helped me quit smoking.

For years I tried to quit, sometimes I'd last a week, 2 weeks, a couple of months but the same thing always tempted me back to fags. Beer. Always beer.

Since I was 18 a beer always went hand in hand with a fag even when I didn't smoke full time. I would go weeks and months without smoking but when I had a beer I'd light a fag. In my 20s I'd get through a box of 20 plus on a night out but wouldn't dream of lighting up again until I was out on the pop again. Eventually after maybe a decade of this it got regular and I started smoking properly only around 10ish a day but still the habit was there and it was strong.

So onto my trying to quit days we go and beer and smoking was the one habit / link I just couldn't break.

I didn't ever drink at home because it wasn't something I enjoyed doing alone or without a cigarette. I didn't drink often but when trying to quit i'd find myself making an excuse to have a beer so I could have a smoke.

So this is where Rocket League came in. I needed to get used to drinking without having the urge to smoke but I couldn't just sit at home and drink, I didn't enjoy doing that however the short games of RL were exciting and the beer tasted great in between rounds. Couple of pints down and the game had taken my mind off smoking. Incredible really. I'd try and have a couple of bottles and a game once or twice a week and after a month it felt natural.

The first big test was on a night out drinking with the lads. It took a little bit of discipline on the night but the craving was beaten and the battle felt like it'd been won already. All I needed to do was not act like a prat and think I could do what I did in my twenties and social smoke.

Its been almost 3 years since I quit and It never really crosses my mind to smoke in any situation now.

I guess there's weird and wonderful ways for everyone to quit but this is how I did it so maybe it'll inspire someone else to think out side the box and find their own way. Cold Turkey Rocket League.

Does anyone want a roughly year old vape kit?  Was well reviewed and I think our resident pro vaper (@yossarian) uses one.  I can't get on with it, the 'straight to lung' approach makes me cough like a Player's Navy Cut never would.  

It's not been used much, 200 pulls maybe?  I'm not much of a vaper.  Disclaimer: it 'pops' if it's not been fired up for a while.  After that it's fine, but I don't know if I'm using the wrong coils, not assembling it right or something needs replacing/cleaning (or if it's just slightly fucked - it's done it since I bought it though).

Comes with extra coils which I was told were the right ones.  Boxed with all the bits, vgc. 

FTAGH.  I just bought a cheap one and I'm much happier with that.

No probs, chuck me a PM and I'll send it later this week.

Does it also store antiperspirant and trim your beard

Obviously not, you need a hard line.
