Diary of a smoker

[Smokin Joe]

It’s easy to give up, I have done it loads of times. The last time was over 25 years ago.

On a serious note,

My brother in law has terminal cancer caused by smoking; he was in a hospice but decided he wanted to spend his last Christmas at home. Every time the phone rings we brace ourselves for bad news.

One of the best laws passed in this country was to ban smoking in enclosed public spaces!

Sorry to hear that, but I must point out that while smoking is more likely to make you contact cancer the exact cause in an individual can never be determined.

Non- smokers get all the same diseases smokers do, not in the same number but they still happen.

Interesting.

Which bit of what I wrote isn't true, or did you actually read it properly?

Not every thread has to end in an argument about who is right.

His oncologist seemed to think that his heavy smoking habit was the cause of cancer

Dear Clint,

It is unlikely you and I will agree on this subject.

However which bit of your post is designed to support Pete in his effort to give up smoking? You are implying that he may get cancer anyway, this is true, but by giving up smoking Pete is improving his chances of having better health. Your post is side-stepping this FACT.

Did you intend that Bay Runner would find some solace in your comment.

For these reasons I feel entitled to have a humorous dig at you.

For yourself smoking is a matter of personal choice but I do not think you should advocate this for others in the face of the indisputable facts - viz SMOKING IS A KILLER.

 

[Smokin Joe]

He certainly is improving his chances of avoiding cancer and good luck to him, but it doesn't alter what I wrote.

Is that a butt from a Dunhill in your avatar?

congrats to all those who are trying to give up. It's a friggin' disgusting habit

Keep at it, I know it's a tough thing to do.

But think of the many positives.
No more bad breath, stinky clothes or stinky house (if you smoke indoors). You lungs will thank you, your body will thank you. Your sense of smell and taste will return. And you will save money.

It can only be a good thing.

GF and I stopped 2 years in Feb. We stopped before first granddaughter was 2 and before No. 2 was born so neither of them know we once smoked. They have one set of grandparents who still smoke and hate the smell.
So glad we gave up when we did .
