Tony got one more good point that I found once I had quit. I found that I did not panic anymore if I did not have enough money in my pocket for a packet of fags. In fact the importance of having money diminished a lot. The bad point came years later when it seemed that the sh8t on my lungs started to break free and I started coughing it up.
Lots of people who give it away say that their sense of smell and taste does not improve but I beg to differ as I think it is such a slow process that you do not realise that it has. Who amongst us have either purchased a used car or gone in someone else's car and the air conditioning has been turned on only to find that a smoker has either owned it before or the owner is a smoker and the stench that comes out of the AC is unbelievable and yet they can not smell it. Also happens if you visit someones house and they have smoked while the AC has been on. That might be why there are so many laws now banning smoking in shopping centres as the patronage would decline. Often wonder how our cabins must have smelt as most of us used to smoke a lot in those days.
That's the way the mop flops.
My thanks to Brian for this site.
