    The new rules on cigarettes being kept out of sight and in plain packaging has all ciggie smugglers very excited apparently

    Should be able to get some good knock off deals

    Also easier to get robbed as tobacconists etc will be selling more of the illegal stuff

    I used to smoke my ma and da's dumps from the ashtray when I was about eight. And I must have been home alone at the time, wtf.

    Anyway, dirty fooking habit, my mother-in-law had emphysema and it slowly but surely drained the life from her.

    Nice one Fan.

    Developed asthma, had an attack and gave up immediately, did the cold turkey like you Fan.

    I started jogging at the turn of the year and am up to five miles, my diet is great (loads of smoothies) and little beer, pies and no ***s. Feel great.

    Did start it, aswell as training (used to be a decent fighter once kickboxing). I think I over did something knee blew up like a balloon

    I've been having bother with my knee as well, I overdid it recently going for three mile jogs and then also doing kickboxing immediately afterwards. I've been on my exercise bike this week doing 40 minutes (it's boring but non-impact on the sore knee). My weight is down from 13 and a half to about 12 stone 2 and I feel like I've been giving a new pair of lungs.

    But watch that knee if you get into the jogging, Fan, don't overdo it again.

    Always been a non smoker

    Hate smoking

    Yet...

    You should be allowed to smoke in bars if you want

    And packaging is pointless

    The stupid thing is packaging actually prevented some smuggling etc

    Th eplain packaging will increase it and the stuff will be rubbish rolled up

    No thought has gone into it. It will be like the US and prohibition

    BEing careful now. Invested in a mountain bike (only a cheap one, will get a better one if I stick to it). I cant do the whole gym and static bike thing.
    Never was good at it, always liked to be out and about

    Been raining since <laugh>
