Beer !

Process of quitting, my arse! No such thing. Either you quit or you don't. Go on be a man. Crush the pack you have now and don't look back ....

Are you telling me that you were smoking more than 20 cigs and you stopped overnight?

I think the no-smokers are very weak. How did you know you would enjoy it if you never tried it?

Do you really think that refusing to bow to massive peer pressure during the teenage years is weak?

Why does it have to be in the teenage years? I started to smoke at 23 and so many other people I know.

20 on a normal day. Up to 60 on weekends. I used nicotine gum for the first 3 weeks though. Nicotinell 4mg Fruit gum is best.

PS You need a mental arsenal of tricks to avoid the feeling that you are giving up something. You're not. It's all gain.

It's the only way - everything else is a sham IMHO. Worked for me after trying every gimmick way in the book. Show's yer serious and not just mincing about with patches, gum & accupuncture, real men go cold turkey!

Disagree with that. All the scientific research shows that NRT has a higher rate of success. Anyway, horses for courses. Whatever works, works.

Agreed, real men take the pain. Does not the Butterfly struggle hard to escape the chrysalis?

Should be banned

Should be banned

The perils of 'secondary drinking' are self-evident.

There you go, proof alcohol harms others.

Some drunks have as many as FOUR pints before they go out on the rampage.
How can we enjoy a night out in the pub with with our friends when there are all these BINGE DRINKERS around.

The safest thing all round is to ban drinking in pubs.

If you are not free to choose wrongly and irresponsibly, you are not free at all.
