    A year of no smoking

    Smoked my last cigarette a year ago, not been too bad, but do miss it sometimes. Usually when I have a pint in my hand.

    Used e-cigs for a couple of weeks but they broke and got binned, nothing since not even a single puff.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

    Congratulations.

    Go and treat yourself to something. It's the toughest addiction to beat apparently.

    Took me many attempts & I'm now in my 9th year.

    Still like the smell of fags though. Reminds me of home I guess; coffee and cigarette smoke first thing in the morning.

        Well done that man, I still struggle along to avoid them when having a pint.

          I don't think they count 'alone time' as coitus.
          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            The last time I smoked was when I grabbed a soldering iron by the wrong end.

              It was my uncle that taught me how to smoke.

              He showed me how one could break off the dried stems of wild clematis, otherwise known as old man's beard, and smoke them.

              This is because the stem of the wild clematis has a particular chambered structure to the pith that allows the perfect degree air intake upon suction to maintain a smouldering burn akin to that of a lit cigarette.

              We used to call these smoking sticks but, fortunately, as they tasted so disgusting I never progressed to becoming a full blown cigarette smoker.

                    You used a fanny wig to help you give up smoking?
