Give it up. Think of the money you could spend on books and vinyl.... |  | |  |

One of my one regrets was ever starting smoking at a young age. |  | | |

I’m expected to be giving it up at midnight tomorrow. It’s quite difficult to defy the wife on this after the year she’s had. Watch this space. |  |

It's a toss-up now, after all these years mate, between lung capacity and shelf space. 
" I suppose you started smoking because you though it was cool or 'hard' did you?" The wife said that the other night. I just rolled my eyes, the truth is the old boy next door started me off on Woodbines when I was in junior school as a reward for getting the coal in for him. |  |

My father was a Woodbine smoker most of his life, watching him die of lung cancer in the early 70’s was the reason I gave it up. | | | |

If I had a magic wand, mate, like most everybody else I would never have started in the first place. For the mad amount it costs now, if nothing else.
I do relish a draw mind, if I'm tired or after food. I do enjoy it , I have to admit. | |

I empathise. A smoke with a beer is the most natural thing on the world to me. | |

See, I'm doing exactly that right now. I opened the bottle and lit a fag on auto-pilot. | |

It's actually very easy to give up smoking. Once you decide to stop it's harder to start again and light up than it is to just defeat the craving.
The big problem is getting to the decision. Only the smoker will know the time to stop. [Post edited 31 Dec 2017 0:49]

In all fairness it's a pointless thing to do.
Costs money, makes you ill, makes you stink.
There is nothing good about it. |  | | |

Spot on... I’ve smoked for over 20 years, tried all sorts to knock it on the head with no joy.
Around 5 weeks ago, I was walking the dogs along the beach, slightly bunged up with a cold, lit a cigarette and had one of my usual coughing fits. I’m not sure why this one was any different from the others but I threw a tantrum with myself, along the lines of “what the f**k am I doing?”
I got home, made a nice coffee, decided I was going to have one last smoke, and somehow that was it? I realise that it’s only 5 weeks, but I haven’t smoked since. I don’t know what snapped in me, or how I’ve managed so far after trying several times before, but there we go, for whatever reason, I decided that enough was enough. |  | | |

As we get older our immune systems start slowing down. You may have breezed through your 20's and 30's but by Christ your body will eventually let you down.
You get all these trendies doing iron man events and training in their 40's when as a teen / young adult they did feck all. Your body isn't strong enough now to become an athlete!!!!
Anyway , I just think that if it makes you happy then it's your life.
You can promise yourself to get healthier/ fitter/ drink less etc etc but at the end of the day don't deprive yourself....it's a miserable existence doing that!! Plus don't do it cos the Jones's are doing it.

I gave up smoking a good 10 years ago. I cant stand the smell of it now, it turns me.
I have noticed I see more women smoking cigarettes than men these days though. | | | |

Indeed, not sure if there are any stats to back it up but you do see a lot of women smoking these days. | | | |

That's pretty much my experience as well.
I smoked for 20 odd years and just stopped at Easter 2006.
Now drink that's a different story.... |  |

Check out the book 'The Easy Way to Give Up Smoking' by Allen Carr (Not the alleged comedian).
Worked for me about sixteen years ago, the thought of smoking these days makes me nauseous. It's only a slim book, and I wouldn't recommend it if it didn't work. Completely changes your mindset about smoking. |  |

My grandparents ran The Morning Star pub in its hey day and Nan died of passive lung cancer at age 52. My parents gave up quickly after that. Sharp shock to the system works well. Find another habit. |  | | |

As a non smoker I often find myself sitting alone in pubs whilst all my companions all go off to have a fag outside together, leaving me to look after their stuff.
Smokers also seem to get extra break time in work by just 'popping for a fag' then coming back 20 minutes later 5 times a day.
It's not all glamour being a non smoker. |  |
