i can only comment on the smoking side of the question, but if you want to give up smoking now its good, see your doctor about giving up. definetly dont leave it like i did and still be smoking in your twenties wishing you had never started. nicotine patches do work, but you need the willpower as well. and if you get advised to go to smoking cessation (chatting with a nurse), definetly go to it. its gives you more motivation to stop.
f u realy want to quit smoking and u mean it from the bottom of yr heart,promise yrself not to smoke any more from now..and am sure u can do it strong lad…
i agree i have now gone over 3 months with out a ciggy i went to see the practise nurse every two weeks for the 3 months i have been using the new tablet called champix .mind you i had been smoking for nearly fourty years before the nurse sorted me out
The patch does help, so does changing your routine at the same time and getting fitter. Go to a local chemist that particpates in the NHS scheme – most do – and you will be able to get the patches either for free or a prescription charge.
You will find developing muscle mass will actually be easier when you stop smoking – get generally fit with some daily jogging or cycling and do some weights every other day.
As for diet – just keep it healthy, cut out the junk food, eat plenty of fruit and veg and drink water rather than pop.
I’ve done the same as you want to do and after 3 weeks feel like a new person and I’d smoked for 20 years!
