    Who's giving up smoking this evening?

    Anyone taking the plunge? Having gone smoke-free in 2006, I can reassure people that it's actually a lot easier than I thiught it would be.

    Not me of course! I need smoking for my social adventures (say what you want but asking for a cigarette/lighter is the BEST icebreaker in world)
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

    I was aiming for it for New Year 2000. But in fact, I gave up a tenday before. I smoked my last cigarette December 21, 1999. I left my last package with 5 cigarettes in it in my drawer. There they were for 2 years, untouched, until my wife threw them away. I never smoked again. And true, it was easy.

    You can still do that. Just carry sparklers or indoor fireworks around with you. I guarantee they'll make more impact than a Camel Light.

    You insisted you were not an addict on here in years past, yet you thought it would be difficult to quit?

    After a bottle of italian red, freixenet (yeah, cheap, but no reason to spend on something you can't make the difference on) an a couple of glasses of Caol ila (that you can taste even after much drinking ), I certainly don't want to stop smoking.

    Who is this person?
    I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

    I have been quiting and going back to smoking over and over for the last two or so years. It's been absolutely miserable and has had a horrible effect on my waistline.

    I'm in the process of trying to quit again. We'll see how it goes this time (grrrr). Of course, it doesn't help that the folks at Natural American Spirit sent me a $10 gift certificate/coupon for cigarettes. The coupon is sitting in my jacket pocket right now tempting me and mocking me. I feel like Jason listening to the Sirens, only I don't have the benefit of being strapped to the mast.

    Damn you, marketers! *shakes fist*

    The two are not contradictory.

    I have never suffered withdrawal as a result from stopping smoking. Therefore I was not addicted. I was always an intermittant smoker- a few weeks on followed by a few weeks off. It's the total "real and long-term" stopping that I wonderedif I could do.

    It turned out that it was effortless. See? No addiction.

    Only someone with an addiction would smoke, it's that revolting. Either that or they are a kid unable to resist peer pressure.

    I tell you something though, I will be glad when smoking is stopped from pubs in July as the damn things kill my throat and chest. However, as Laz once stated, what awful smells are going to replace those of cigarette smoke?

    Mostly sweat, booze, and perfume, if here is any guide. Not bad at all.

    Ah, the poor boy's clearly never tasted a Romeo y Julieta...

    The taste of tobacco is an atttractive one to a seasoned palate. If that's a lie, why is it considered to be a useful taste of character in some great red wines?

    Also what about smoking weed? That's something many do on their own to relax from a troublesome week or the like.

    Weed isn't addictive, and tobacco doesn't make you into a retard. They are totally different animals.

    In other news, legal smoking age is set to go up to 18 soon here. Don't see the new law making that much difference, considering most under 16s get their cigs from friends and family as it is.
