Still smoking. I'll quit (again) one way or another, but not while working on a bike. Too fumble fingered (even with NRT - it's the quitting the automatic reaching for the fags, all the associations, that's hard. Quitting nicotine's a cinch). Anyway the point is the current pack's got a warning about emphysema on it and a picture of, what I suppose is a clogged up lung. Only, from a couple of foot away, and at an angle, it looks like a drawing of Robert Plant.
Tell me about it - giving up smoking that is & not visions of Robert Plant similar to those images of Jesus seen in marmite on toast or crisps or three cheese pizzas. Gave up 5/6 years ago &, as you say, it's the habit pangs that are the worst. Although having said that I do still occasionally hanker after a cold beer with a deep lungful draw on a rollie.
I shall look out for the tousle-haired god of rock next time I get that warning on my 30g of Drum Blue/horrid green.
I gave up about 10 years ago and then started again recently because of stresses and strains I’ve already talked about on here. The way I look at it now is I’m going to do everything I enjoy, drink,smoke and eat what I like. I have no desire to live a long boring life especially with the way this country is now.
I hate to be “that guy” but I used to smoke and one day I just decided to stop. So I did. No patches. No gum. No vapes. Just stopped.
Stopping smoking is the best thing you'll ever do for yourself, I stopped in 1991 when 20 Bensons were £1.60 a pack
Generally I have no issue with people smoking, I did it for years myself. Their choice -no problem. But dating women who smoke? The taste is too bad and it ain't happening.
I tried to give up smoking many times, until I decided I wanted a bike. It was easy after that, can’t believe the price on fags these days.
I want more people to smoke. As many as possible, smoking as much as possible. Tobacco is the only f...king Tax I don't pay.
People smoking doesn't really bother me (unless they throw fagash and nub ends out of their car) but I can't sit near and ashtray, they're disgusting
The (black) £310 Kriegsmarine leather coat. Possibly what Admiral Donuts wore. Though just yesterday I resisted the urge to buy some. Along with the 'Brando' leather jacket, new DMs and 3 prs Nike trainers (and other stuff - about 20 sets of strings, for a start). The coffee machine; the (£50) Ducati 999r puzzle; several leather care products. This is showing myself what I can buy by not smoking. And not eating more instead. Suddenly stopping setting fire to £100 a week. Which if I could do retrospectively I could buy another bike (but still not have room for it). And I've already resisted buying a new 2 grand Strat.
I remember coming back from clubbing in the 80s and 90s and having to wash my clothes as soon as I sobered up as they stank so much of cigarette smoke
I feel I must clarify that my 'Like' for this post was for the text, and certainly not for the Gimp Coat.
