Zingari Posted 14 March 2007 Posted 14 March 2007 i think its a filthy habit;.......... giving things up
cisono Posted 15 March 2007 Posted 15 March 2007 Link Have you decided to give up? Do you know of anyone that has? Is it a waste of time? I'd definitely give up if I were a smoker. As it is, I don't smoke and never have, so I'm not sure how I feel about the nosmoking day. In a way, things that need to be celebrated in their own day/week are things that people need reminding of / things that are not in public conscience enough. Is this the case with smoking? I wouldn't have thought so. I just cannot wait for the 1st July... I'll be able to go to any pub and not have to come home stinking of smoke
Thracian Posted 15 March 2007 Posted 15 March 2007 Personally I'm delighted - I detest the things - but I know a few people who are in despair because they are hopelesly addicted and are suddenly being made to feel like social outcasts. Trouble is those same people perhaps have no idea or no concern about how miserable they've made others feel over the years.

cisono Posted 15 March 2007 Posted 15 March 2007 I'd defintely give up were I a Heroin addict, then it's alot easier said than done isn't it. Strange how my dad (smoker of 40 a day) complained for years that it was too difficult to give up. But then... He did eventually quit, and did not smoke from the day he was diagnosed with lung cancer to the day he died (unluckily for him and the whole family, this was a period of just 8 months). And he was just 58 when he died. Why could he not do it earlier...

cisono Posted 15 March 2007 Posted 15 March 2007 As I say, it's alot easier said than done. [but anyway, when he decided to do it, he did it (he had never attempted quitting in his life). Even though quitting is hard, all the more reason to work hard at it] That is why people should be very wary of ever starting!!!
Nationwider Posted 15 March 2007 Posted 15 March 2007 I couldn't afford to smoke. 20-a-day=£2,000 per year! I'm not bothered if you want to smoke, but smokers - please don't whinge about the tax. If you've got a two grand-a-year hobby, you can afford the friggin' tax!
Daggers Posted 15 March 2007 Posted 15 March 2007 As I say, it's alot easier said than done. ...but we're there for you brother, we're here for you. Just ask the Lord Christ for guidance, just say "Jaysus! A aym a sinna!" and he will help. Ask the Lord for guidance and he will listen. Just don't phone his premium rate lines because they're a real ****ing con I tell you.
