I'm going to start smoking

[MrsGoof]

wow those patch thingys are good.

I put one on just before I went to bed, then changed it this morning.
I now find I have the urge to stand outside with the lepar smokers.

Off to get some Gum now.

I've never tried smoking.

I'm a leader not a follower and am a sufficiently strong character to be able to make my own decisions.

Smoking looks stupid.

No - it looks cool

It's the non-smokers who look stupid.

So having a tattoo makes you a social pariah?

It does imply a certain lack of class.

I was born on a council estate and I'm not a tattoo snob. I think they're sexy as feck. mmmmm <leg rub> yowzer aoooooh aoooooh etc etc

I rest my case!

I think that the Government should be encouraging people to smoke not discouraging it.

Smokers pay loads of extra taxes and don't live for long in retirement, if they get that old at all. Pensions crisis solved!

This is true. The amount of duty paid by smokers far exceeds the estimated extra costs of smoking-related health care.

This is a point overlooked by those health professionals who refuse to treat people with smoking-related deseases.

And they die young. Smoking is a win-win situation as far as the state and non-smoking taxpayers are concerned.

I knew an old woman who smoked and drank to excess, she died last year aged 88. In 2004 I worked with a guy who was 42, he ran half marathons, watched what he ate, didn't drink or smoke. Ran 3 times a week, went for a lunchtime run one day and dropped down dead. Bet he doesn't feel so smug now?

So you intend plotting your course through life based on selective anecdotal feedback then? Why not try thinking for yourself for a change?
You might like it.

Most things that come from me are "rich" Churchill. You should know that by now. Now quick, back to your book, "Naval Knot-tying for Dummies".
