As July 1st loomed the fag count rose, peaking at over 20 a day.<br />On the other hand, the thousands of hours spent in front of this infernal machine now means those 20 are organically grown, filterless roll-ups so, despite the additional layers of fat, I still feel pretty healthy.<br />That just leaves the neglected garden and a non-existent pub life to fret about.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656423097103145634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206739907723081582.post-50897317830768093592009-05-05T00:08:00.000+01:002009-05-05T00:08:00.000+01:00Vincent1

I never wanted to give up - I enjoyed an occassional smoke and got used to smoking just a few.<br />Since the ban - a different story. After smoking a few for 3 years, I'm back up to 30 a day and I've put over a stone on since it - all because of pure anger as to how our parliament can treat their own citizens this way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206739907723081582.post-8770875982683949362009-05-04T23:05:00.000+01:002009-05-04T23:05:00.000+01:00Dick, If that tactic WAS used over here, the antis...Dick, If that tactic WAS used over here, the antis would have had more success in reducing the smoking rates. Reverse Psychology, I think they call it. It would have probably worked for me anyway, I have never felt so militant or angry in my life. If they told us to smoke, and meant it, how many of us would have said F**K off. These antis are not good for any ones health, but it keeps them in well paid, work. <br />As it is, where the antis tread the smoking rates rise, they know this, we know this, the Governments have surely worked it out (not sure though) sometimes people are so smart, their logic stinks.<br />mandyvvincent1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03591077762608116836noreply@blogger.com
