cigs

Hi I have never smoked,don,t mind if others do, but you smokers what would you tell young people,to smoke or no, what did you get out of it.that they are missing.

Roy.

Well for a start. I'd tell them to prepare their own meals from scratch.

Don't smoke Skunk.
Don't inject heroin.
Don't inhale traffic fumes.

Only go to Macdonalds once a week.

That's a starter for 10

I tell young uns, don't do all the above what granada says and don't swear an all, they say,

" tha not me dad so eff off"

tha cornt tell um nowt,

Hello, Tom.
How are you keeping?

Another thing. I venture into Ince once a week.

I call in the KFC or Wing Wahs ( my favourite Chinese takeaway ) on Ince bar.

Big poster in KFC " We use Less Ingredients reducing the Carbon".
Bragging about using less of the original recipe stuff? !! The price is not reduced!
It's not as tasty as it used to be

I still like it though, as once a fortnight treat

My wife's dad, who never smoked in his life, died on Sunday of lung cancer.
Yet, my mum's uncle Harry smoked a pipe all his life and he lived to be 99.

you make a good point tonker,I had part of my left lung removed cancerous lump discovered,I never smoked although the company I kept did ,

Roy Castle never smoked,but he died from lung cancer,because he spent long periods among smokers.

CIgs now over £8 which is £2920 per year so no wonder my wife's bank balance is healthy

Cigs now over £8, yes if you assume that everyone buys them from shops.

I have never smoked but have worked in pubs before the smoking ban, and it didn't bother me. What I DID object to was smoking in restaurants where people are eating. We once went in a Harry Ramsden's restaurant and requested a non-smoking area. We were seated just yards away from the smoking area. We ordered our food which arrived just as the smokers finished their meal, and they all lit up cigarettes. We ate our food with smoke literally passing over our plates....it was AWFUL!

my parents both smoked (woodbines)when they eventually packed in 1980ish my mum remarked how food tasted so different.the ban as been good for lots of people.
