    & if correct what do you imagine your life will be like in your 70's? or are you genuinely looking forward to incontinence,a decline in physical & mental abilities, life in a care home & staring at the telly all day?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            Now that's not going to encourage the boys and girls who want to stop tomorrow is it now?

            Mind you I know what you mean

            I wouldn't swap smoking for not smoking for all the tea in China (or the tobacco) but it was a habit that I enjoyed at the time.

            If you are thinking of quitting you will be FAR BETTER OFF WITHOUT IT in a very short time. Blog it on here if you feel the urge, by the time you've written it down, the immediate urge WILL have passed!

                  Smokers are weak losers.
                  Why would a grown adult continue to waste oodles of cash on a smelly, foul and unhealthy habit unless you were a bit weak in the head?

                    That's harsh.

                    Nicotine is addictive.

                      Same could be said for booze or fine food. Don't talk shite.
