Marine1980 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 The economy needs the money that smokers generate in taxes. Maybe but they don't need the extra cost of health care for smokers! It would probably even itself out!!! But you wouldnt die from someone else's smoke! I think next time I walk down the street I'm going to walk down with a pint! I'm going to have a sip then the next sip spit it over the couple of people round me and do this for the whole pint! Then give it 5 mins and get another pint and do the same! I bet there are a few unhappy people?? Royal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokers cough went immediately, other than that I can't honestly say I feel much different. Put weight on but have pretty much lost it again although todays dinner may well reverse that trend. My advise to smokers would be to try and stop, my advice to the OP would be to try and stop being so miserable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most Festive of posts is it! Give up if you can, when it suits you, all the bullying in the world won't make you stop. Happy Christmas to you all.

Marine1980 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) I won't get many smoking friends saying this but the NHS won't treat mega obeased people unless they make the effort to lose weight! And they won't give alcoholics new livers etc unless they stop drinking!! It should be the same for smokers they shouldn't be entitled to treatment if the reason they are ill is a direct affect of them smoking Royal Edited December 25, 2011 by Marine1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be worse if I liked fags but I cant hack them nor would I want to as I'm a sporty person, tried those cancer sticks once and hated the taste, got a lot of mates who smoke them and I'm sick at the smell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe all efforts should be directed to young people so that they will not start smoking and get hooked as I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nan smoked from the age of 11 till the age of 75 then one day just decided to stop, and she did! She's now 82 and hasn't had once since the day she decided to!! It's not a bad excuse though!!!!!!

jerico Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I might give up again, lasted over 2 years before. My main problem with giving up is that I probably like it more than I need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
