It really does make people stink and that becomes more apparent as time passes

You don't realise it when you're a smoker yourself, but once you stop you can smell it on other people and it's fucking horrid.

I had no idea it had come to this. Is this representative of the UK as a whole, or is this a TEF bubble?

Driving around the country and out and about generally I'm astonished by the amount of young females who smoke. You can't plead ignorance of the dangers in this day and age. I'm one of five inc my patents and the only one who has not smoked. Never seen the appeal. If it's that good for you and that great why would you run from a burning house with all that free smoke to suck into your lungs, not withstanding the heat element of course.

I quit full time smoking 11 years ago and social smoking 8 years ago.

I struggle to stand with people smoking now, as can't bear the smell.

I just noticed how relevant my avatar is.

I enjoy smoking and a pack of 20 can last an entire week or a couple of days depending on work/weather. I don't think I smoke enough to smell constantly awful, my teeth and fingers aren't yellow, I'm unhealthy already and I never smoke around non-smokers.

Who was the third yes vote?

Smoking is the easiest thing to give up.

I should know, I've Done it Hundreds of Times.

"Ernest Hemmingway" Quote I think.

Used to smoke 20 a day ( Cigarettes ) Now 3 Cafe Cremes ( Cigarillos ) a day.

Interesting to know if anyone knows how many cigarettes that is equivalent too.
My Mrs swears its like back to 20 a day. ( Cigarettes )

I voted yes. I still roll my own but have been using the vaping stuff to cut down and hopefully give up altogether one day.
It's helped a lot, I'm down to less than a quarter of my previous smoking intake, 4 roll ups a day instead of 20. But apparently the EU are looking to ban it as it hasn't been medically approved.

I think willpower is the only way to go. What have all you ex-smokers used to give up?

I think my generation was probably one of the first ones who started to think that maybe smoking wasn't all that cool. I know a lot of kids now who would rather spend the money on something else.

I've never done it (bar the standard taste of one in my early teens and the odd cigar), and don't have any particular reason to be drawn to it.

I'm due to give up. The problem is that I love smoking, and don't really want to stop.

I voted yes even though I'm not currently smoking, as my quitting attempts generally last two weeks to a month.

I can get a packet for 30p, but most/all are fakes or really poor quality and make my chest feel awful smoking ten a day. I really fucking hate smoking, until I forget and then start again.
