Very happy with myself, I m also sleeping better and longer, still it was very hard yesterday and today not going to the shop and get some fags, but went to the gym instead and I got my sewing machine out just to keep me busy and have some beddings to do. Very happy

Smoked a pipe for 40 years, Condor baccy, didn't feel the the inclination to 'give up' pipe smoker, less risk etc.
Then me Da's dementia got the better of him and he was admitted to hospital, auld bugger was on a packet ot rollies per day but he was distressed at not being able to smoke in the ward, so I went and got him an E cig, amazing! he puffed away quite content ( the ward staff closed the curtains and turned a bit of a blind eye) had to provide him with an (empty) lighter, so he could go through the motions.
But this was late 2012, E cigs were just starting to pop up and I had to fiddle around trying to find the simplest one available and in the process tried them out myself,
Short story? Packed in smoking overnight, still use the E Cig, but nicotine addiction is no worse than caffeine.
Cannot believe with the advent of E Cigs people still choose to smoke!!

I take that as a compliment from a man who's head is full of useless rubbish

I will back Hoskins up, have just spent a week doing firefighting stuff at a course and feel amazingly fit, and it was nice to not be coughing up a lung while doing drills in the mornings.
Amazing how long I can make a BA cylinder last now compared to when I was smoking, and I wasn't a heavy smoker either

+1
You can create some pretty tasty brews, I am running on raspberry, grape, and turkish tobacco in mine.
I like the fact I can still mingle with the smokers but not feel like I need one, or come inside reeking of smoke

Simple. Just commit to not smoking. I did and it is probably one of the better things I did in life - and that’s after being a heavy smoker. Always said I would not smoke when we had kids and kept to that promise. No need for mind games, substitutes or patches - just do it!
Health issues enough in later life without the self inflicted ones. A very important choice in not making your kids passive smokers - they can decide for themselves when they are old enough.

Can't get over how many young kids I see smoking on the streets. You would think they would know the score by now. I even see early teenagers using e-cigs for goodness sake.

I’d say there’s far less young folk smoking than 10 years ago.

They don’t even drink as much.

Depends where you go. The area where I live seems to have a good number of the younger end still smoking - especially young women. Surprising really given the health risks.

What I would say about the younger end with regard to drinking is that their moral compass definitely points in the right direction - especially with regard to drink driving. As youngsters most people in our generation were fairly blasé about it and thought nothing of driving after 3 or 4 pints (yes you included) It’s something we all did. Those days are gone. The ones we see arrested during the Christmas drink driving campaign are usually from the older generations.

Got to agree with the above. Having a few pints and driving home on back roads was the norm locally late 90's early 00's when i started drinking, young and old were at it. We would see our peers do it, and do the same, not bladdered, but certainly over the limit.

Today its almost unheard of, I certainly would not risk it now, and i dont see the older generation do it ether. Drink driving has become socially unacceptable and rightly so.

The same is happening with smoking, the smokers have to go outside for a cig now, dividing them from the majority. In 10 years time smoking will be as socially unacceptable as drink driving.

But the youngsters of today are more likely to be smoking something other than tobacco.

Sad

But the youngsters of today are more likely to be smoking something other than tobacco.

Sad sad scenario. Very few of them see the dark side, the phsychosis, bright young things turned into shambolic suicidal mentally deficient wrecks. Get thisen down to casualty one of these nights and see the devastation drugs cause. Sad and slippery slope.

Whilst a percentage of drinkers would become alcoholics, once the rest of them had had enough they would go home. Not so the druggies or even the gamblers.

Whole new world we live in
