of mine has - surprise surprise - got emphysema
Corse- 'i can give up whenever i like but i dont want to yet' has been his stock motto for 20+ years that i've known him
and now?
'i've told the doc i'll give up when i want to - but not just yet'
What an idiot
Sad thing is - his wife's lovely and in despair with him

I gave up on July the 1st, 2½ years ago on the day they banned it in public places. Must say one the best things I ever did and an achievement that might not mean much to many but to me is high on my list. My g/f and my boy are much happier now and I feel lessed than ever before.
I feel for your friend but saying yr not addicted is only kidding yourself. His poor wife must despair and I feel for the family. Good luck and I hope everything works out ok for them. As soon as your born, your dieing but the way I see it is however you do end up going, theres no point in making it worse by smoking. |

good post angryfire

|
By:
good for you angryfire- and a very appropriate name if i may say so
|

By:
Absolutely Tevez.........I never realised just how bad you smell as well......I knew my breathe would be bad but my clothes stunk of that smell and its an awful smell......like BO and stopping that game was one of the best things I ever did. As you say.....saving £40 a week is another good reason!

By:
Angryfire I gave up about a year before you but I won't knock those who can't or won't quit. Even now I still sometimes get an almost overwhelming craving.

Non-smoker killed in car accident. Non-smoker's parachute fails. Non-smoker's hang glider crashes. Non-smoker dies in freak potholing incident. Non-smoking soldier shot by Taliban. Non-smoker drowns whilst snokling. Non-smoking rock climber falls to his death. Non-smoker beaten to death by hoodies. etc. etc. etc. I'll think i'll stay indoors with a ciggy. IT'S SAFER. |

you are very very clever JM
but then - my smoking m8 is a 'bit clever' as well there will come a day when all smokers will get so s hit scared they will give up - he will soon - and the longer you put that day off the more tragic and the more difficult it will be for you. try and do it now m8 and stop trying to be so clever about it |
|
By:
Only having a laugh, m8.

save your breath JM - your gonna need it
|
|
By:
Maybe Akak, but what about all the other things that kill and cause disease. How many deadbeats can you find?
|
|
By:
Is easy to call him an idiot but that glosses over the real nature of addiction. He needs to get himself to a smoking cessation educator to salvage whatever he has left of his lungs. Is a pity for him he could not have stopped before he developed that. To put yourself in his position take two or three deep breaths in and hold your breath, now try to take another breath or two and that is what breathing with that disease is like

just seen a tv ad for giving up smoking - free nhs cd / prescriptions etc
even tho he is a m8- on principle its ridiculous that we - taxpayers- have to pay for all this |
|
By:
Yeah ,they should tax cigarettes.
|
|
By:
No one who reached the age of 16 without seeing someone smoke could ever be mugged into smoking a cig.
Set fire to it and breathe the smoke in? Does it taste nice? err No, Wilm I feel better? err No, Then get the fookce away with thy cig proposition. |

just seen a tv ad for giving up smoking - free nhs cd / prescriptions etc even tho he is a m8- on principle its ridiculous that we - taxpayers- have to pay for all this You don't subsidise smokers - they subsidise you. For two reasons: 1) A 20 a day smoker will pay around £1,500 a year in tobacco tax. Over 50 years, that's £75,000. 2) Apart from emphysema, the smoking related diseases kill relatively quickly, thus relieving the taxpayer of the cost of lengthy NHS treatment. Also, as smokers have shorter lifespans, they are not paid a state pension for as long a time as non-smokers. The biggest burden on society are those who never smoked and go on for ages, requiring long term intensive health care for all kinds of age related diseases, such as dementia. |

By:
Very well said Wur.
|
|
By:
1. we should tax tobacco heavily - its too d amned cheap at the moment
2. public money should not be wasted on providing medications for cessation of smoking - just stop- my dad did when he was told it was that or lose his legs- and he did so without any state funding to give up- this after 40 years puffing away |

how ironic addicted gamblers all call smokers. Its there choice it has no affect on you. (i don't smoke or never have either). there is probably a load of smokers call you mug gamblers addicts.
|
|
By:
