Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Once stayed on a camp site by the sea on Skye. Twenty odd miles to the nearest off licence. A long round trip for ale! Said then it would be the ideal place to quit smoking etc. Quote
Not in Crawley Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Yeah, Champix is working for me as well. Whilst I wasn't a heavy smoker, I'm still saving well over 40 quid a month as well. Quote
mickbrown Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 My mum smoked like a chimney when I was growing up. The stench put me off for life. Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Yeah. The smell of stale smoker's breath is abhorrent. Quote
gonzo Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 The odd time i get asked to do an inside of some fuckers flat in some of the housing schemes I do. Fuck me you peal the nicotine off the window. It's like bitumen. Fuck that all over your insides. Quote

Is it worse than what you have to peel off the windows when you do Uncle Brians dungeon after his Otters & Twinks festive gathering? Quote
gonzo Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Is it worse than what you have to peel off the windows when you do Uncle Brians dungeon after his Otters & Twinks festive gathering? Much worse. At least spunk is full of nutrients. Quote
no balls Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Much worse. At least spunk is full of nutrients. And approx only 7 calories a teaspoon. The food diary I'm having to do for my nutritionist is brutal Quote

MickyD Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Oh, if only I'd fucking thought of that! You should be a GP! Genius! I take it you have no habits which are detrimental to your health? No, I smoked from being about 11 or 12 to 44. Then stopped using patches in 2006. Not touched one since. I know how difficult it is but as Smiffs says I get the attraction to swapping one for the other but honestly think they will prove to be an unregulated timebomb. There really is no proof they are doing no harm. Quote

L/H White Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 never tried a cig, not once. cant stand the smell of it my mum is trying to give up now Quote
Cheese Posted February 16, 2017 Author Posted February 16, 2017 No, I smoked from being about 11 or 12 to 44. Then stopped using patches in 2006. Not touched one since. I know how difficult it is but as Smiffs says There really is no proof they are doing no harm. But there is plenty of proof they do FAR less harm than cigarettes. Don't worry Mickey. I'll be fine.

Burndens Bogs Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I've used E-cigs for 5 years after many years of smoking "proper cigarettes". When I was in my late 30's I did a lung function test, I considered myself fit and was still playing footy regularly,but I smoked.The Doctor said the results were "disappointing" for someone my age and it was due to smoking. I did another test last year at 55 years of age 4 years of giving up "proper cigarettes" by using the E-Cigs. Doctor said the results were "incredible" and I have the lung power of a 30 year old who's never smoked. Doc said it doesn't mean I won't ever get anything horrible - but there are no guarantees for anyone. He said the most important thing is stopping smoking "proper cigarettes" Only proper research will decide if they are any safer than fags in the long run,but i'll take my chances with the E-Cigs for now.

Sweep Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 I presume that the profit margins on the juice that's used in these e-cigs must be massive. I've seen shit loads of shops pop up selling the stuff Quote
Didledee Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 All my family smoke except me, I just hate the look of 'em, they look like a dirt stick doing you no good, but I guess you don't see that as a kid and get hooked and addicted, i had plenty of chances to, but I reckon my anxiety of getting in trouble won over.

Zico Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Yeah, Champix is working for me as well. Whilst I wasn't a heavy smoker, I'm still saving well over 40 quid a month as well. I was something between 3 and 7 a day, more being when I was drinking all at home after work in the evening main thing is that you must want to stop - i really wasn't enjoying them come the end half the problem is/was that the mrs smokes, so when trying to quit any other way - will power or ecigs - I'd always end up nicking one or two here and there - the other problem is I now can't stand the smell on her and I can still smoke weed via mellow yellow (herbal baccy) as you say re champix, bit rough first couple of weeks, but I'd considered taking them again just for the vivid dreams that come as a side effect I presume that the profit margins on the juice that's used in these e-cigs must be massive. I've seen shit loads of shops pop up selling the stuff at work few years back we had a meeting with guy in who made the liquid to see if we could help him sell online anyway, he bought some machines from china, set them up in a unit somewhere in stockport and paid kids off the local estate small change to bottle and pack everything up and was making a killing - he acknowledged his business model probably wouldn't last for ever, but for the mean time, he was raking it in Quote
