    That said, the primary thing I noticed about Simon at the get together (after the very british chalk stripe gray suit) was that he smelled worse than an ashtray.

    dude that was really mean. lol.

    *rob*

  2. Snappy- having watched people die from it too, and watching people quit I know it is one of the hardest things in the world. I think it’s very difficult for those of us who have never smoked or who may not have found it so addictive to understand the tenacious hold it gets on you. Both my dad and my ex quit cold turkey. My mom did after a week in the hospital for surgery. Other friends still smoke like stacks.

  3. snappy- I only drink diet stuff and it isn’t the caffeine that does the trick, it seems to be the syrup so it should work. Originally Coke had cocaine or a coca derivative in it but it was also sold as a “medicinal” item. I also read that pharmacies even today sell the syrup to combat nausea.

    Some tough love from BRG:
    Snappy, shape up girl!!! Enough with your whining about your sickness. Deal with it, it will pass in a week or two. Stick it out and bear it. I know it must be hard, but you can do it. Don’t let it control you.

    And if you smoke another cigarette, I will never ever ever…..

  5. BRG, I know of the negative impact it has on my health. And, I’ve watched family members suffer and die from cancer. And, believe it or not, that is not always the clincher. If one isn’t ready to quit, it’s not going to happen no matter what goes on around them.

  6. To all Smokers:
    Please quit. Your health is important. And if you’re not convinced of all the negative impact smoking has; then watch someone you love battle cancer for years and eventually die.
    Stop puffing NOW!
