It doesn't have to be a drag! The Pub Landlord AKA Al Murray has helped us out with some serious and, mainly, not-so-serious tips to distract you from the task at hand! The Pub Landlord Q&A.
The Info
Here are some important links where you can find out more about Stoptober and how you can get involved. There's a free Stoptober starter pack to sign up for on their website which will help keep you on track

This is a forum challenge so MSE Badger is totally involved. If you've still given up at the end of Stoptober and you've let us know in the poll thread above you'll get one of our fab 'Stoptober Survivor' badges
All you have to do to get it is make it through Stoptober and tell us how much you saved!
Track your progress - get your signatures ready!
From 1st to 28th October, keep track of your progress in your signatures, eg. "My Stoptober savings so far: £55". It should help keep you on track if you have a reminder of your savings each time you post!
Tell us when you've added your signature!

Have never smoked but a big :T:T:T to everybody kicking the habit this October!
But put all that money you would have spent in October into a pot and see how much you have been paying out.
And don't forget ... Gov gets most of the money you pay out on fags as tax.:eek:The more I live, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the more I grow.
The more I grow, the more I see.
The more I see, the more I know.
The more I know, the more I see,
How little I know.!!0 -
I quit smoking just over a month ago and moved onto e-cigs. I started on 24mg nicotine juices and have already stepped it down to 6mg so I've ordered 0mg juices for stoptober and I'll vape that to hopefully get me off nicotine altogether. Good luck to everyone taking part.:www:House Deposit £10,539.47 / £12,500:www:0

I did it last year as well and still not smoking. I never went into it expecting to stop altogether but when it came to the end of the challenge I just carried on!
I'm still vaping but I figure thats a lot better than the real thing.
Good Luck to everybody giving it a go - I didn't think I'd ever give up but it goes to show0
