if you read you will find that people that have stoped smoking arethe worst at making other people to stop smoking,, you have hart attack or coffing up blood. but the fact's are that more people that drink & smoke go after there 100 birthday, were as the health die in there 40-60,, so who is trying to get rid of who. we make the choise to smoke or drink not other people,,, every one is a follower of life, some one dose somthing for the first time then more follow.

Im an ex smoker, but I still believe that adults have the right to choose how they wreck their health/ kill themselves, whether its by smoking or any other method. I have always been sceptical about the whole passive smoking argument as well.
It is though an undeniable fact that smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease etc. and it is highly likely that you will die sooner if you smoke, than if you dont.I have seen several members of my own family die in their early 40,s from cancers caused by smoking.
Freecall, if you want to smoke, its up to you mate. But if you think it isnt doing you any harm, you are kidding yourself, your living in denial. ;)

The facts are actually the complete opposite of that. There will be exceptions to the rule, and people will sometimes use those exceptions as justification to carry on smoking.
Imo there are a few genuine reasons to smoke imo, which dont involve lying to yourself.
1. Addicted and havent yet summoned the strength to conquer it.
2.Aware of the fact it may well kill you before your time, but having thought about it you genuinely dont care.
3.cant think of a third. :D

Bought a game on Saturday, customer services is also a fag counter.

While waiting for the BD I had a look around. Do people really pay nearly £6 a packet? :o :o :o :o

If so how do they afford it?


My game was about 5 or 6 times that amount and I get a handfull a year*

* Except this year - too many coming out.

Do grown adults really waste money on stupid kids computer games :o

If so how do they afford it?

Standard answer from anyone trying to defend the undefendable - blame it on someone else, then make out the cost is negligible ;)

I would certainly find better uses for that £140pa you waste on games....

Haven't smoked for probably 18 years, have no plans to start again, however if someone handed me a cigarette I could probably smoke it before I even realised.

Each to thier own as I couldn't really care to be honest, If people want to smoke I have no problem with it and I certainly wouldn't complain if they stood next to me smoking.
