Quitting smoking

Iā€™m off them 3 years off them I can confirm that I donā€™t feel a single iota better, not a jot. While I should be theoretically better off cash wise Iā€™m not, the gain of approaching 3st and the 4ā€ expansion to the waistline have caused previously unexpected clothing expenses.

Would you not thank that youā€™d feel better the morning after a feed of pints without having smoked fags?

Well done chief. Giving you a tee-up 9th like for a nice post. Youā€™ve broken the back of it, itā€™s not a habit anymore. Just be careful when you go back to the pub and who you hang out with. Stay the course.

Exactly and itā€™s watching sport that was always a killer for me, using the Snooker now to break myself in id have no chance attempting it during the hurling or NFL seasons.

Good for you, but just a wee word of warning. Youā€™ll never truly ā€œbreak its backā€. 10 years down the line you might think ā€œSure a couple of puffs will do no harmā€. They will.

I would really have to motivate myself to buy tobacco now. Even the thought of a smoke on a long journey doesnā€™t do itā€¦Iā€™ll probably hold off until I can visit my family in lombardyā€¦not for a while I suppose.
The only exception is when I occasionally bump into a local celeb at straw, weā€™ve developed a routine of him telling me Iā€™m not sherman and then giving me a nat sherman cigaretteā€¦then he makes some pun relating to an earlier mix up about the art deco sign above dean mcglinchey parkā€¦ā€œthatā€™s our deccyā€ ā€œwhere?ā€ā€¦ā€œabove the entranceā€.
The laugh of it is he says Iā€™m the only person he can understandā€¦the last time he asked me to go into the post office and translate for him. I declined, thinking he was joking. Iā€™m not sure though, I could well have shot myself in the foot regarding cigarettes etc
But enough about me.

You should maybe demotivate yourself about buying that waccy baccy mate.

I must confess to not having considered this plus aspect. #winner

Ah would you stop. Only a weak cunt would go back and @Watchyourtoes is made of tough stuff.

NZ trying to rid the country of cigarettes, fair play, a 14 year old today will never in their lives be able to buy cigarettes in a shop.

Some eejit called Finnan McGrath on the radio there, a smoker apparently but ā€˜there isnā€™t a day in his life that he hasnā€™t tried to quitā€™

Give them up you fucking soft cock

On about fucking civil liberties now, Jesus :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I proposed this on TFK before the Kiwis and I was ridiculed for it.
