    Most of my family smoke. Probably around 40 a day. Three of them have had "scares" with throat cancer - one malignant and two non-malignant. They carry on smoking and never want to quit. I don't try and convince them to stop as I remember my mother losing the head when I was younger and tried to talk to her about the health aspects. Went completely off the rails screaming "How dare you question what I do with MY money". I didn't even mention money. It got me thinking about the money side though.

    She'd grumble about having to pay for the smallest of things, like a new school bag, yet there was always £10 a day for the fags.

    I used to try and open the car window in the back as it was like being inside a cloud. She told me to "put up that window, I'll get a 'crick' in my neck with that draught".

    So yeah. I hate it and the selfishness it brings out in people.

    Jesus - just re-read this and it sounds like an excerpt from Adrian Mole! That makes me even angrier.

    I gave up cold turkey 2 years ago. My sleep pattern has improved dramatically.

    I used to.. I was never one of those people who smoked 20 a day, though,. It'd be more like 1 or 2 a week for me :pac:
