    If I could kick the ones out inbetween which are just part of the habit, that may be useful.

    A few of my friends are long term social smokers, Id love to be one too, but cant kick the ones I love.

    And as Esme said, death is certain for us all, thats one thing for sure.

    ah the old it wont happen to me syndrome i remember it well

    that was what I found patronising.

    why have you gone mad over it?

    I don’t think the fear of getting lung cancer is enough to make someone quit. And nor are all the other myriad diseases it causes, like peripheral neuropathy, where your blood supply is reduced to your fingers and toes and they go black and drop off, or chronic obstructive airways disease, which slowly limits the oxygen you can take out of the air until you eventually suffocate to death, or…..

    I maintain you have to want to give up.. and i mean really want to, and then you will.

    Until then, the benefits of smoking are, that you all can take time away from your desks to go to the smokers corners outside, and socialise with other smokers, when the rest of us non-smoking mugs are still working away… :D Well thats actually the only benefit I can think of, but am sure you can all add a few to the list.

    I have to agree with sharron on this every fag i have i acturly enjoy it

    there is not a time iv lit up and thught god i dunno why im smoking this iv got a right chest infection at the moment after a cold and even thogh im coughing when i take it bck im still enjoying it

    Every single smoker nos the damage it can and does do we aint daft but if we want to smoke we will if we want to give up we will

    I have a husband who is always going on and on you will end up like ya mom !!! I dont need to be remeninded how she died or how ill she was because of the fags i nursed her for 5 years

    But i will not be told by no 1 i should give up the fags and no amount of pictures on a fag packet will stop me

    they can pin a picture of a lumg full of tar to me for head il just use it to lite me next fag up

    Its my life my money if its short so be it then again a none smoker could walk out the house and get hit by a car it life and its our life

    What made you start again BM. 6 weeks was the longest i lasted before, this time it was a proper health scare made me stop.

    Thing is the stress that took me from 20 to 40 a day is still sorta there and i find most days at some point i want a cigarette though i get through it though some days are worse than others but after 10 month i’m getting sick of wanting to light up even. Strangely sitting at my computer (cue a smart arsed comment from someone) I used to chain smoke, now that doesnt bother me, ditto when i drink seems to be when i have time to think i find myself craving more.

    First couple of times I started again I thought could keep it to a few a day. Kinda like an Alchoholic thinking they can take a Glass of Wine and leave it at that. Last time I started was just momentary lunacy.
    Only hesistating to stop again now because I wanna be 100 precent sure in my mind that I can lock it up for good this time.

    Moms its aint a benefit for us few at work we have to clock out we are aloowed 3 / 5 min fag breaks a day and have to make the itme up after work

    by the time you have clocked out ran to the smking corner where we have no shelter and when its raing have a few broken golf brollys you suck so hard to get as much in ya as ya can to have to run back and the none smokers think its madness and have even said we should have a sleter

    I wish you well BM and hope that you can stick it out this time, for you xxxx

    I have given up loads of times in the past and gone back on them just as easy as ive given them up
    This time has been nearly 5 years. Cant say I will never smoke again, all I can say is, ive not smoked today. Its all us non smokers can say.

    I do know, that when I was smoking, no pictures of Cancer ridden Lungs would have made me give up.

    I wish everyone good luck in giving up IF that is what they want to do, if you dont, have a fag on me :lol:

    The UK will next week become the first European country to introduce graphic images on cigarette packets to warn about the dangers of smoking.
    The 15 different images will include pictures of a diseased lung and heart surgery being performed.
    They will start to be introduced on 1 October, but it will be another year before all packets contain them as existing stock will have to be sold.
    Will it make any difference ?

    No, it won’t make the slightest difference. Smokers will only learn when it is too late because most are very stubborn and ignorant.

    Your intelligence level never starts to amaze me.

    If Smokers wanna smoke let em smoke. They give huge amounts of revenue to the Country.
    Stopping smoking is harder than kicking Heroin. It aint an easy thing to do.

    You talk as if you know me, but you don’t so you do not need to comment on my intelligence. I am entitled to my opinion like everybody else, and if smoking is harder than kicking heroin so what? You shouldn’t have started in the first place. Congratulations on bringing in alot of the governments income, but then again it’s the tax payers who suffer when your dying in hospital. Oh and another thing I never once said smokers cannot smoke, let them by all means.
    All I said in my last post was that pictures on cigarette packet will not make the slightest difference, but you obviously missed my point.

    err ! isnt this a site, where you ask for, and offer opinnions ?. whats the point otherwise ?

    i havent gone mad ya misreading the tone of my post sharon and the meaning. I’m saying i said that at your age more or less same didnt honestly believe it could happen to me though, you cant comprehend being 52 seems so far away. Then it’s there and stuff changes, I wasnt telling you to stop thats up to you> That last bit you wrote about social smokers was only a yr or so ago i was saying exactly that I wasnt trying to be patronising at all (stufed if i know what smiley to use now) 8-[
