But on the brighter side... only 45 days to the first race of the season!!

Good luck with it mate.
It took me four or five attempts before I finally managed to quit but it sounds like you're really motivated and determined.
Life without cigarettes can seem unimaginable when you're a regular smoker but it's soon forgotten and boy does it feel good.
Funny isn't it that riding motorbikes is also considered a health risk by some, but there's nothing more life-affirming - get off the tobacco and get the most out of your riding!

The average UK smoker spends £2500 a year on cigarettes.
