All that typing for me? Ah blessOriginally posted by chef View Posti'm simply pointing out your banging on about proving something I've not said, I have no intention of quitting smoking, I enjoy it, the same way I enjoy a beer or 3, but it's interesting you always have to have the last word on a topic.. a sign of stubborness, the need to feel you won the argument irrelevant of the facts or a sign of a person who has control issues, well done on quitting your addiction to cig's though.

No it isn't - it may be addictive but it's not an addiction.Originally posted by original PM View PostI smoke
I drink
I hold down a succesful job and am bringing up a respectable family
at some point I will die - the cause of my death may or may not be related to my 'addictions'
however I will be happy and enjoy my life
and that is more important then anything

oh and by the way - that cup of coffee you have with cafeine(sp) in it - thats an addiction too

You're addicted to nicotine. End off. 10-15 is bad enough.Originally posted by chef View Postummm first off I never said I'm not addicted and how is reducing 60 a week to 10-15 a delusion, it's simple maths based on the facts that I know how many and how often I buy cigarettes..
2/10 for trolling there sas, must try harder
I know, I used to be too.*
* yes there's nothing as bad as an ex-smoker.
