Smoking rocks!!

Nothing Like a good old fashioned tab to start the day!!! Finger licking good !!

Before you all lay into me, I quit ages ago, but the thought of never smoking again is depressing, still never mind more money to spend on smack and rocks!!

Did try a drag or two when I was uneducated (about 12/13) but never have since - I completely agree, mug's game.

I always say that it costs the NHS more in supporting smokers than the tax it brings in, that of course always gets negated by those who do smoke - so rock on smokers, keep it going, helps pay for any treatment I'll ever need - cheers!

Stopped a month ago, somebody said its supposed to get easier, it hasn't!! I must admit though that i really notice now when my colleague has been out for a puff, he stinks!! Hate to think that i used to smell like that after going for a fly tab before going to see a user! Acid test next weekend, first time i'll have had a bevvy since stopping. Have deliberatly not drunk a thing since i stopped as i knew that will power would go out the window (not that i drink much like!!)

Exactamundo dude. It's like an intolerence thing, it's not right to be intolerant of someones creed or colour etc but if you smoke then your a legitemate target. Well that's how it seems to me.

Just watch the death camp of intolerance episode of southpark and you will see atleast one part that is so true to life, apart from the lazy mexican

Which is a good point, if that is true and it does cost more to support smokers, then why not just ban sales of cigarettes and force people to quit. Smoking serves no benefit to anyone, anywhere.

Yep. I'm intolerant of it. It f**ken stinks, and is as anti-social as me walking down the street shouting in your ear. Of course, I could walk down the street shouting in your ear, but as I know it would irritate you, I wouldn't. What's the difference? Actually - to answer my own question, there is a difference. To my knowledge, thirty years of exposure to me shouting in your ear wouldn't kill you. Thirty years' exposure to you smoking would. So, if you want to smoke - great. Just don't whinge when everyone else who doesn't smoke gets the arsehole with you f***ing off outside for unpaid breaks five times a day at fifteen minutes a pop, or bans it in pubs because they don't want to come home stinking of stale fag smoke.

Being intolerant of other peoples' religions or race is ridiculously incomparable to being 'intolerant' of smoking.

Don't 'could' or 'possibly' me. People who don't think there's a link should just shoot themselves now as a result of massive, brain0numbing stupidity. They're the same people who think Jeremy Clarkson 'makes some good points' whenever he opens his stupid fat trap.

Zeb, lots of people have smoked their entire lives and died at 80 of old ages, lots others die earlier with the cancer because they smoke. You said it your self there is a "link", that isn't the same as smoking will kill you.

I personally think it's disgusting that I should have to tolerate people getting drunk on a Friday night, winding their way home, disturbing me at the cash machine, shouting and swearing in the street, that does more damage a lot more quickly than smoking does, do you have the same opinion on drink?

I despise binge drinking a lot more than smoking.

I was replacing your "would" word with words simply leaning equally towards yes and no, using the word "would" is implying that its very likely that you would die in 30 years of smoking, I beg to differ

I can guarantee there is certainly a low percentage of smokers who have been smoking for 30 years and have died from an illness related to the effects of smoking, I would be looking at people starting in the age range of 16 to 30 which I think is a fair age range, none the less the amount of people who do die from smoking at early ages is still wrong but to work it out as a percentage I see it definatley as a "could" and not a "would"

"Would" would more suit a sentence such as "If I throw a rock at Jeremy Clarkson at his show I would get in trouble for it and I would feel bad for it" as I like Topgear and Jez is great although some of the comments he does make are ridiculous at times.

You get this at 2pm on a Saturday afternoon in Blackpool, and that's just the women!
