I'd give up trying if i was you, if it isn't something you really want to do then it just ain't going to happen |

I have been looking into the e-cigarette's and I am tempted as you can smoke them anywhere, even on a plane :)) |

Good for you, Bob - lots of people seem to manage it by will power alone. |

That's the thing, seriously, you cannot nag someone into not smoking, it is a genuine addiction, and has a strong grip on some. We all know the harm it does, we all know we stink, we all know we shouldn't do it, we dont' even really WANT to do it, but the willpower to give up only comes with genuinely wanting to give up. If you don't want to do it, if you're not ready, then no amount of willpower or nagging will make you do it. |

What I dont understand about you Uggs is that you seem to have a fairly hectic social life that involves numerous visits to places that do not allow smoking (by that I mean generally the pub - lol) so where exactly do you find you smoke the most? |

Lynda, I think you should set up a residential course for GR smokers to quit......then keep their money that they would have spent on cigarettes as payment. You could throw in the odd cake or pudding to keep them happy. |
