BillyShears Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Was off them for 2 years then had a cigar 12 months ago. Now 2 or 3 roll ups a day. I should know better really but I really love smoking... One thing, when I wasn't smoking for those 2 years I had chest pain, one of the reasons I have a fag now is to stop the chest pain.

MR.Smalljob Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 And I definitely agree with the ban in public places, people who don't like the smoke shouldn't be near it. My dad stopped smoking when he was 55 after 40 years as a smoker.. last year 17 years after he did stop smoking he had his lunges scanned and the doctors couldn't even see he had been a smoker, he's lunges was normal.. One of my best friends granddad, he had smoked since from he was 14 years old, when he was 79 he stopped smoking, one week after he died :shock: I'm not trying to defend smoking at all, maybe I'm just trying to find a real reason to continue smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 9, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2009 my cousin got breast cancer a couple of years ago and had to go through chemo and a mammagram (is that what it's called)Depends what you're talking about. A mammogram is a breast scan to check for tumours. Total or partial removal of the breast is a mastectomy. No joke, as my missus could tell you - she had one four years ago.

Seriously mate, if you haven't done so already, you should go get that checked out. I loved smoking too, I genuinely enjoyed the experience and the taste but given history in my family, I knew I had to give up. It sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted February 9, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm not trying to defend smoking at all, maybe I'm just trying to find a real reason to continue smoking I admire your honesty and self awareness! Good on yer, keep it up. There'll come a point when you go, 'hang on, why AM I doing this?' but non smokers shouting at you won't bring it around any quicker.

Don't know why I said Mammogram, as that obviously isn't removal of the breast (although no doubt she had a mammogram at some point) But yeh, she had her breast removed, so Mastectomy is the right answer.

Stevo985 Posted February 9, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2009 I smoke when I'm out and even I think the public smoking ban is brilliant. Just makes places more pleasant. Bit of a shitter in the winter when you have to go outside for a fag, but in the summer it turns smoking into a bit of a social event. i like it.

Also, never light your own cigarette, that's my rule of thumb when I smoke. Easy way to start a conversation is by asking for a light. No prizes for guessing which sex I normally ask for a light first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
