Thanx Cissy,i believe we all want to quit and know that we should,but it sure ain't easy..more difficult than a lot worse habits to chuck off.

I do smoke roll ups though and have more than halved my consumption.... I tell myself that's better than doing nowt! I would love to wake up tomorrow and just never want to smoke again, and never think of it......

Nope never tried,enjoy it and ain't no-one going to stop me. I know its dangerous for me but then so is crossing the road,not exercising,eating fast food,drinking alcohol/coffee/tea,working on the roads,riding a motorcycle,driving a car and anything else the "people in the know" tell us.

Thats been my reason as well for years RD and the biggest problem is as you say *we enjoy it* , but i envy none smokers and if i could turn the clock back , i would'nt have taken that first pull.

Can understand what your saying Cissy as a singer but alot of famous singers smoke. Its all a government plan to do away with us unwashed biker types i tell ya. As for turning the clock back,yeah would like to do the same cos fags were cheaper then.

If i'm on a long journey then i will have one when i stop for fuel,and with my tank its about every 70 miles. (aren't custom tanks great?) As for flying its a case of having to put up with it but when i'm out the other end i'll light up. Don't really drink in pubs over here so its not a problem.

Excalibur....I used to smoke a lot..one day I just woke up and thought that was it...and I haven't looked back especially when I gave up a packet of 20 were £2 now they are £6!!!!

I am going to be completely honest though...I still want one all these many years later...but its the cost that puts me off and the modern inconvenience of being a smoker...sometimes and only sometimes I give in and have the odd one..but I never ever want to return to smoking all the time..

Good luck...(oh yes just put the money you would spend on cigarettes, roll ups etc in a jar instead of buying them..that will give you a huge incentive to stop..it is amazing how much there is in that jar at the end of even a week!!)

It is difficult to wait but what can we do? Case of grabbing the bag and legging to the exit. True what you say BC,it is alot of money but if i die tomorrow a jar of money won't help me. Live for today for one day tomorrow will never come. Or something like that.
