... to sit in my kitchen and smoke a last couple of cigarettes with a glass of whisky while watching the fireworks?

[TimeAfterTimeAfter]

I know, I know, smoking indoors is the ultimate in dangerous activities. BUT: the kids are at their dad's and will be until Sunday so aren't here to see/smell it, I'm going to paint the kitchen tomorrow which will further mask the smell, I've had a stinking cold for two weeks now and feel so rough that I've cancelled my NYE plans and also am going to give up smoking tomorrow. But I just want this one last little toot and it's cold outside.

You bloody enjoy your fags and booze!

Do it! We won't tell anyone

Enjoy your fags (i miss fags) just waft your back door once you are finished.

Life is too short! No one will die 🤪

YADNBU Time.

Smoke one for me.

I'm enjoying my last cigs too. May our quit attempts be successful

I shall think of you, whilst at the back door, smoking my last fags and drinking my last wine for a while OP!

Happy New Year! 🎆

Thank you kind Mumsnet. I am now smoking. It feels weird! I haven't smoked indoors in years. This whisky is nice too. Good for colds. Medicinal.

Good luck @JadziaSnax I'm quite determined to quit. I've felt like shite all through Xmas with this cold and I know the baccy is making it worse.

I haven't had a cigarette in nearly 30 years and haven't missed them after the first few weeks.
But just once in a while, when I have a drink in a bar abroad, where smoking is still allowed, and I get a waft of smoke, I feel, instead of the usual disgust, a nostalgia for the pleasure of a smoke.
So yes, enjoy it and remember you're last cigarette.

Go for it, and good luck quitting.

I’m planning on stopping this month, I can’t stop on New Year’s Day, too much pressure, but sometime this month, she says (again)

I've never smoked, but enjoy your NYE and all the best for 2020.

Oh I miss smoking. Have one for me

Enjoy your ciggies and have one for me. Good luck with the quitting. It's almost 14 since I packed up, never thought that I would manage it but ooh sometimes when I smell one it reminds me of just how much I loved smoking.

Enjoy, what whisky?, on my 2nd Glenmorangie 12 year old

Sounds great!!

Are you going to use any NRT? I couldn't have stopped without the patches they helped to take the edge off.
Also I think I was more addicted to the nicotine spray than actual smoking I loved it! After a while I couldn't care less about a fag I just needed a spray hit!!

Thanks @MeetmeinParis it's Glenfiddich. My mum gave me it for Xmas. It's going down nicely. Glenmorangie is very nice - enjoy it.

@alwaysstressed I'm not planning to use replacements, no. I don't want to have to work on coming off something else once I've done the graft iyswim. I'm hoping that keeping busy with painting will be distraction enough during the day and then in the evening I've treated myself to a new book (Girl, Woman, Other) which should similarly occupy. I can't justify spending money on both baccy and a book so that's my hat in the ring.

Happy new year 🥂 enjoy your fag and whiskey in comfort. Good luck with giving up.

Thank you. Happy New Year to you too!

Stubbed out. Done. Off to bed.

Nearly 17 years since I quit cold turkey, it is bloody hard. I missed it and could easily have lapsed several times in the first 2 years, but once you get there it is brilliant.

Enjoy your last fag, Good luck and take it one day at a time.

Quitting too, good luck OP

Enjoy the fuck out of your ciggies and make sure those are the last of them. I have witnessed far too many of my relatives die of lung cancer, and I sincerely hope you never want your children to endure watching you suffer that fate.

Have you read the Alan Carr book OP?
I strongly recommend it. Downloading and reading today would be good.

There's a lot to be said for having a 'goodbye' ritual for these things. I'm an ex smoker (heavy smoker!) and after years I can't remember when the last fag was, but I know I did ritualistically savour it then stub out and pick up the vape device (vaping was my way out)

Best wishes for your journey to non smoking x
