I feel your pain hun - not that I'm trying to give up. Just look at those photos on the back of fag packets and remind yourself why you've made the decision to get rid! You're braver than I am
the patches stick to your lips....
Aha fellow sufferers
I havent had a cigarette since wednesday morning...nearly 4 days and the patches make me itch....determined tho to beat it this time.....even bought a pushbike to go out on instead of a frappe and fag break.

Never got the hang of them.. I roll kinda baggy ones that everything falls out of, keep burning my clothes .. and getting the rollies stuck to my top lip- sophisticated!

Once you go rollie that's it for filtered fags. You'll smoke em in a pinch, but they seem to fall short of the mark.
That's bad because it means an elevated nicotine level to satiate. BUT. Unlike filtered smokes you are free from the chemicals contained in normal ciggies..4000 approximately for most brands of filtered fags.

PS...Just in the filter.
I would imagine having an endless supply of bubble wrap would be enough to fight your cravens of fags.
I don't smoke though, never have, not even one puff, don't think i've even held one....I'm such a good boy

As do I OHG. Bizzarely that is one huge plus compared to the filters in ciggarettes. As I said those filters have a reported average of 4000 chemicals. The filters for rollies..i'm guessing Swan like me - are simply foam based - devoid of said chemicals.

Been there buddy. Improvised filters of torn strips of Rizla packs provide a cheaper less effective alternative in a pinch. Usually synonomous with smoking the weed I know..but I don't touch that stuff..tried it and did not like the effect one bit.

Amber Leaf.
Drum like other dark tobaccos causes me lungs to try and escape in neverending coughing fits. Smokers are actually under appreciated by people in general for what we contribute by virtue of our purchases..(unless you buy off the boat gear from daytrippers)

After watching HM's at the bus stop a friend decided to try roll ups as she was finding the packets too expensive and she thought they made it look easy. She's made me laugh with describing how difficult they are to do.
They're usually too loose or a funny shape, she can't find the right amount to put in the papers, they keep going out and she struggles with getting the filter just right. She says they take so long the cravings gone by then but is still persevering but it's making her crotchety lol. Can any of you give me any tips I can pass on to her, like how long does it take to get them just right etc

Started as a financial thing.... but like others have said.. then preferred them.
I do keep a packet of normal fags about, in case I need one quick.
Also.... I use about ten filters per rolly when I am at home... I keep changing the filter... cos I don't like it when they get all yellow!

Don't suppose there's any all encompassing 'right way' tbh. Every smoker does it slightly different in one way or another.
Here's my way. Just hold the Rizla in one hand with the filter in yer gob whilst you work. Grab a bit of baccy with the other paw and just deposit it on the Rizla. It's not artwork, just spread it round, with none at the end intended for the filter. Once arranged, take the filter an put it in that gap you left free from adorning with baccy. Use both hands to roll it gently..not tight or that will compress the tobacco making it hard/impossible to smoke. Roll the cig from there, lick the sticky segment and adhese. Voila your cancer stick should be sufficiently intact to smoke and enjoy

Are we still talking "roll ups" here?
I roll the most perfect cigarettes, come rain or shine, under any adverse circumstance, I can produce a smoke-able fag, one handed. I can run round the block flipping a pancake and still roll the most beautiful fag you ever smoked.

I can do about 4 if I remember rightly. Haven't done it for ages, I'm like you, don't like them anymore, so none in the house.

Do you mean roll the tobacco before putting it in the papers? that's something I remember she mentioned, that she can't roll it in the papers so they come out flat lol

Thats the worse OHG..in the religion of Rasterferian you can't smoke backy its an impurity just like salt thats a no no aswell..peops dabble with the weed and end up hooked to backy instead....
