    Aye, could never work out why I never wanted a smoke during the day. On my day off if I had a joint it felt weird as *. But I would chain smoke joints at night. Like your mind is on a body clock.

    I was the opposite guys, I would smoke more in the morning and afternoon then hardly smoke at night, the mornings being the worst....that was the hardest part of the day for me.

    Need to stop smokin badly. In the early stages of heart failure and can feel the breathing getting harder.
    Thing is I’ve done it loads of times before, the last being for two years. But as easy as it is to give up, its easier to start.
    Oh and the * weight I put on the last time was around 2 and a 1/2 stone, * that lol
    The child give me a good reason whilst out watching the game on Sunday. If I stop, she’ll will go to a game with me lol.
    Oh and the reason why I haven’t stoped yet if I find it easy enough. I don’t want to. Just * bad news after bands news has left me physically and mentally *.
    So I’m rebelling lol

    Quite simply, yer gonny * die.
    Your wean will grow up without a da.
    Your not rebelling, your being weak.
    Bad news after bad news will still be there Wether you smoke or not.
    Putting on a couple of stone ?. So what.
    It's easier to cure a fat * than to cure some poor sod with lung cancer.
    If you've done it before then you can sure as * do it again.
    Get on the vapes . Aye, I know they taste like * and burn your throat but eventually your throat will get used to it.
    Carry your vape with you always and use it constantly.
    Get the high nicotine dose and work yourself down.
    Reason I'm saying this is, everything you've described is my circumstances, apart from the heart stuff.
    Smoked myself for 25+ years, averagIng 30_40 a day.
    Cost alone is insane.

    And that's my wee pep talk for you.
    Don't really do subtle

    There is something quite beautiful about smoking at night, especially overlooking a nice view...like city lights or the moon over the sea out in the country.

    mate.....been said a couple of times now!!! Stop for your kids sake!!!! I've being off them 6 years, still vaping though, i went through at least 20 a day and 40 when on the lash!!! Eldest daughter, 9 at the time, turned round to me one day when buying 20 and said 'dad why are you paying money to kill yourself'. Stopped a couple months later at new year!! Luckily vaping worked for me.....didn't think i could but just made my mind up and went for it!!

    I'd smoke when I'm drinking from time to time.

    Often if I'm under a lot of stress I light one up, sober or not.

    It's silly, I know, but I am aware of it and need to get working on my willpower and cut them out.

    Nah your right, with the right tone. Thing is it’s a rare heart disease that’s causing my breathing problems and ARVC will kill me long before my lungs give up lol
    My lung capacity was tested a while back and they were in great condition for a smoker of 26+ years. But I won’t get a new heart if I smoke.
    A fink lol

    Well no, I use 3 or 4 times a year for about a week - 10 days as a sort of mental holiday from a * painful job, then get back to life without the need to use methadone or such like, it's the clichés that will rot YOUR BRAIN paul

    Local pub landlord was a heavy drinker/smoker of 30 years, he went into hospital one Friday and died the Sunday(RIP Lawrence you were a star) everyone was pontificating for days it was his lifestyle that killed him etc, they did the post mortem where it was discovered he had a heart defect that could have killed him at any age, no matter what his lifestyle, not sure if it was same thing you suffer from

    No idea if smokers would get the same experience but much prefer them vaping via IQOS, for example

    Never saw the point, I'm 33 so when I was 16 you could smoke and it was far cheaper than now so I could afford it but it just honked, I tried it once and I thought * that and bought a 6 pack instead (not much better I know). My parents smoked, my step parents smoked (they no longer do, or so they say), one of my brothers does too and my girlfriend only quit when she got pregnant. Never understood it, filthy habbit that stinks and people know is bad for them. Don't get why people my age or younger smoke.
    I find it weirder when you see young people who never smoked using vapes.

    Could well be. Fabrice Muamba is a well reported case of the disease. Mostly young physically active boys/men die from it. No warnings usually.
    Lifestyle has no bearing on it. But like all things, if you ain’t reasonably fit/healthy you will struggle to fight most diseases.

    Aye point taken, guy looked about 60 but was early 40's, a real waste he ran a proper country pub with great food, open fire and no pretentions, man loved his horse racing too with photos of various horses on walls, he once saw one of his younger staff pour me a pint of Guinness the wrong way, he poured me another brought it to the table and left the original pint for me to drink if I wanted, which I did because as it did taste different it was still ok

    My mum was the smoker in our house, she died suddenly four days after being diagnosed with lung cancer and she used to say that the worst thing she ever did was to start. She always drummed it into me never to smoke.

    I've never understood how you can enjoy something that is bad for your health, tastes and smells disgusting and costs you a fortune.
