Smoking

Louis, All joking aside here is a great tip in your quest, Write down on paper the reasons why you want to become a none smoker, And as time goes by and your health improves you may feel the need to just have one with a meal or a drink, Go and pick that list you wrote up and read it to yourself. I bet it works best Regards Terry.;)

Roger, emphasyma, working in a retirement lodge I witnessed a lady die from it, it took about two days of horrific circumstances. She had been suffereing for a number of years but then one day just like you it hei her. Doctors called in but it was too late, nothing could be done. So to anyone who wants to continue on the cigs no worries it is your choice, but having seen what I did my advise is give it away............NOW!!!!!

One Hundred and Seven years ago, no change here then.

Friday. 2nd August. 1907. Doctor warns of child "cigarette fiends"

The evils of smoking and chewing tobacco were attacked at the annual meeting of the
British Medical Association in Exeter today. Dr Herbert Tidswell, a GP from Torquay,
singled out what he called the poisonous habit of smoking among Britain's children for
particular concern. Claiming that the nation was deteriorating because of smoking,
Dr Tidswell said every boy and girl should be encouraged to sign a pledge never take up
the habit. The difficulty of giving up smoking was so great that it was foolish to start.
Dangers of smoking, according to Dr Tidswell, include cancer of the tongue and lip. But
other doctors argued that no clear case had been put forward against the moderate use
of tobacco. Surely he should have been listened to.
