Default OT: Paging ex-smokers

Is it just me or does every single one of those 'reminders' on tv that
smokers are only allowed to indulge in their pleasure in open fields, 15
miles from the nearest shelter, whether it be advertisements for nicotine
gum, explanations of how cravings work, or the government telling us we're
not allowed to do anything at all that we might enjoy, really, REALLY, make
you want to start again?

Not me. I didn't even bother to light up on National No Smoking Day,
whenever that was.

They don't bother me half as much as all the ones for giving up,
whether it be nicotine-replacement vendors or the NHS give-up-now
helpline, which constantly hark on about how difficult it is to give
up.

Here's news for you - IT'S A PIECE OF PISS. All you have to do is
actually WANT to stop.

They make me want to start again just so I can give up again to prove
how easy it is.

"Give up without using our nicotine replacement product - it's a piece
of piss!" isn't a good advert if you want to sell something.

Surely we ought to feel attracted to it again now it's illicit.
I mean, most people I know who do started in school, so hiding behind
a shed is a nostalgia trip.
And blah blah etc. I've never been a smoker, and now it's against the
rules, but I'm still tempted to start to spite the government.

I think I'll stick to riding bikes, it's more fun.

No, but the law obvious doesn't apply in the IoM, if this last weekend
is anything to go by.

I'm sure that's why so many kids start so young now. Every time the govt.
ban something it's human nature to want to go and do it.

AOL. I decided to give up recently and I got patches on the NHS. First
day at work I felt fine and dandy all day thinking that these patches do
the trick. Then someone pointed out, as I went home from work, that
they'd seen the patch fall off first thing in the morning. Then I felt
silly and didn't bother with them after that.

<AOL> Gave up when I was 21 ish, started again a couple years later then
stopped again at 26 ish. Not smoked since, except when I've been 'out wi't
lads' and have a couple on the night .... which only reinforces why I gave
it up in the first place. It's a nice feeling at the time, smoking, but
the after taste, next day, the smell on the clothes, and the hoarse throat
is truly awful.

Hebrew Bible, Genesis, 10:5 Goy = non-Israelite. Are you using goy to
equal Israelite?

I suspect that if Jessica Alba were sitting next to you she'd shag
anything else so there wouldn't be any love lost, unless she has some
skin condition fetish.

Not until 2008, but it may even apply in the new Jurby prison
apparently.
