As of midnight tonight I will have ended my relationship with the evil ciggies, this is a decision that I have made over the last couple of weeks and there are many reasons for my decision:

1.    Cost (At around 2000GBP per year) this is money that could be better placed towards transition.

2.    Health risks, as a transsexual self medicating on HRT the risks of HRT, heart attack and stroke are high enough without adding the extra risks of smoking.

3. I will need to have quit smoking before I can have FFS or GRS, therefore why not quit now!

I would like to thank all the regular site visitors and contributors to the recent poll for helping me make my decision on this.

For the time being there will be a seperate blog category about  quitting smoking.

I am a little concerned about the impact of quitting smoking so soon after having a breakdown earlier this year, however I am happy that this may make me a stronger individual as a result.

Just for those of you that really want to know, the way I am planing to quit is not using patches or gum or any other method of nicotine replacement therapy, instead I will be going cold turkey, yes i know, scary!!!!!!!!!

For the moment I will leave you on this note, as I only have 27 minutes smoking time left.  Any word of encouragement using the comment system would be more than welcome…. Izzy
