To give support, I can promise that I will not smoke that day
Mind you the one and only time I did try one was in 1959

A couple of observations. Interestingly the Govt announced today restrictions on tobacco displays - all good stuff as far as I'm concerned if it can hide the temptation - detail here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12680815
I was surprised to learn on BBC 6 O'Clock news tonight that 20% of adults smoke - they did a feature on Blackpool where 35% of adults smoke - theory being its a deprived area but maybe the state funds their addiction like this pond life here
Judge's fury at 'sponging' alcoholic who claims incapacity benefit because 'addiction makes him unable to work'

as an x smoker, those shop counter cig displays were my worst nightmare in the early stages of stopping smoking, i dare not go in the shop, i knew to face that counter i would break out in hot and cold sweats, the temptation was too great for my addiction , like many times before i tried to give up, i crumbled at the checkout,
in a way i guess the state does fund the bennefit claiments smoking, but remember this a smoker will go without food before going without a cig, now thats the addiction

This programme is interesting :-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...d_the_Bandits/
Panorama investigates the world of the criminal tobacco trade. Sam Poling reveals that more than half of all hand-rolled tobacco in the country is now counterfeit or smuggled.

Congratulations Terpe Modest weight gain is less harmful to health than continuing smoking.
It's hard to know the exact numbers of smokers in the UK or the Philippines because as smoking becomes less acceptable, people are not so inclined to admit how much they smoke. However it's probably at least a fifth of the adult population in both countries. It also seems that only 2 in 3 smokers want to stop smoking.
Whatever the true figures, there's no room for complacency Smoking is still the biggest single cause of cancer in the world. But almost everyone knows it's not good for your health . Scare tactics, threats and lectures from doctors are of limited use. I accept that many people - including friends and relatives - don't wish to stop smoking. A teenager interviewed on the news about the proposal to put cigarettes in plain wrapping said that would encourage her to smoke because "They're telling us not to!" - she may be misguided but she's not alone .
Nicotine is a drug of addiction. Willpower and determination are vital for those who wish to give up. Well done to all the ex-smoking members of the forum for encouraging others to stop .

Based on what I've gleaned from this ... and previous threads on the topic ... it seems to me that the number of MALE members who ADMIT to being [ongoing] smokers is relatively small.

You have somthing there Arthur, many years ago I met a woman on a dating site, I had put in my profile that I was a non smoker who only wanted to meet non smokers, we got on ok online and phoning, them met for a meal, after eating she pulled a packet of fags out and said she liked one after a meal!
That was the end of that possible relationship
