Food & Wine

My fellow Purist friends, I’ve got an important (well to me at least important) announcement to make and you all are the first I’m sharing this with; But after almost 40 years of continuous smoking cigarettes I gave them up completely as per 1 January 201... 

I think every time you have a weak moment you should post something on this site as it’s difficult to smoke and post a comment at the same time. Keep up the good work !

Congrats. Stay strong my friend. And yes you are right I puffed Patek in thin air. Sadly I'm Mark Twain type.... easier thing is to quit smoking...I done it 1000 times... Cheers D

Talk about being bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Best, mahesh.,

Enjoy the watch of your dreams with the savings...Jim

I stopped smoking after 47 years of smoking. My daily consumption was over 2 packs of Marlboro per day. The reason of stopping was that the chief nurse in the intensive care department in a Greece hospital "confiscated" both my cigarettes and lighters on ... 

You owe her a watch!

I just asked her to find a wheelchair and take me with my dips to the balcony for a smoke. But she checked my clothes and bags, took all the cigarettes and lighters informing me very loud: You have stopped smoking!". What could I do? I had to stay in the ... 

I quit smoking on April 15, 2003 after more than 15 years of smoking cigarettes. I haven't relapsed since and my only regret was not quitting sooner. Welcome to one of the most important clubs you'll ever join: the former smoker's club

I do the same after 28 years of smoking I have now been smoke free 15 years in April. My wife stops 8 months ago and it looks good for her too.

i quit daily smoking since 19yrs then cigars and some party smoking ,totally free since August,2013,no regret !and yes rather not think on the value has gone. 👍🏻

. . . has puffed for over forty years. To say his health isn't good would be an understatement. I'm going to show him your thread. He's quit in the past, once for six months, but could never kick the habit. Here's hoping he finally does. Art

Bravo! Your health, your family, your friends, your colleagues your home, your car, your clothes, People on the street, literally everybody will be thankful... a new aera for you dear watch friend! stay strong cheers

I thought that a Patek model was about to be discontinued. lol. great health to you.

Congrats, we are all very happy for you and your decision.

Congrats, stay upbeat and strong through the cravings. Perhaps tinkering with more watches might help with the distraction.

My dear friends, I’ve made it. Two full months without touching a cigarette. The non-smokers will probably shrug their shoulders but those who smoke or have smoked, know better. There were moments when it was difficult. But the support messages on this th... 

You can also tell your friend that after 2 months I feel better more energy food tastes better etc.

I know how hard this can be. I'm at 23 years but I still think about how it's so easy to start again. You should take the $7.00 every day and throw it into a jar. Then go buy a Rolex in a couple years!

I can imagine it takes quite some willpower to accomplish 👍🏻

Yesterday I had a difficult moment. We were out eating and drinking with a large group and many smoked Half way in the evening I had 2 options; stay and smoke or leave and don’t smoke I left went home early, spent an hour reading up on great watches and w... 

Thanks to all your support I am now 3 months without having smoked I thought it would be impossible after smoking 2 packs a day for 40 years but it looks like I’m pulling it off Posting progress on this forum is one of my “tools” to prevent relapse becaus... 

Great to read your updates, keep strong

Thanks for your support. Must say that slowly taste has improved and more natural skin color. I guess it takes a while to scrape 40 years worth of tar from the inside of my body

Lungs are black and heart is damaged after smoking for decades. Keep it up and live without the chains of tobacco dragging you down. We're here to support you. metro.co.uk

Every day without smoking helps, and I hope you won't have to suffer from any late consequences. I was diagnosed COPD recently - without having smoked before. Marcus

Hi Its now been 4 full months and I haven’t touched a single sigaret. Some days it’s easy, some days it’s difficult, some days I just go to bed early (and read all posts on this wonderful community of supporters) to prevent the nicotine winning from me Bu...
