ubereglu Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It's not a good enough reason for taking up the (filthy) habit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutrix Farmers Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 But what use is a good memory when you are laying in a hospital bed? To remember all the good times before you bacame life-threateningly ill I suppose! I'll stick with Omega 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 And I'd like the 50 quid they are going to pay smokers to get them to give up - flippin' disgusting! I'll get down off my soap box now. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hils78 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Its amazing how it affects some people, like people who have never smoked yet die of cancer through passive smoking. But people like my grandad who smoked from the age of 14 > 75 then died at 102 with absolutely no damage from it what so ever (he was a tobacconist). I've never smoked & wouldn't - had enough cancer treatment as it is thanks! But I am a QUIT councellor if anyone needs a nudge in the right direction!
