    We all make our own priorities of what we enjoy. Personally I think the horrible ways to go with smoking are not worth smelling like an old pub and not being able to run as far without getting out of breath. Now alcohol i can understand. All that pleasure and only the odd splitting headache, puking your guts up, broken toe, nose, hand etc, nearly shagging mingers, potential liver disease etc. to pay for it.

    But like you say no point going on for ever either. Looking at how all my 80+ relatives have done/are doing I think i will take up HALO parachuting when I am 75 or something.

    Cholesterol perfect. Needless to say that I ate almost all my life like a pig and only gained a few kilos lately. Oh well, 8 pints is only now. In the past it used to be 8 pints 2 times a week but what the hell we need to have limits, don't we?

    It might not help your BP but it is jolly good fun.

    Smoking increases your LDL (bad) levels and increases your risk of atherosclerosis. Not a problem in your 20s/30s but too late to do anything about it in your 40s.

    Have a cholesterol test and some kids just to give yourself a reason to stop smoking and not end up with several months of extremely painful and long drawn out lung cancer.
