Please Don't Hate Me

I have decided to pack in Cigarettes...

Please understand this has fuck all to do with the Führer and his cohorts in Bunker Number 10. It does have a lot to do with the copious amounts of green shite I am hacking up and the dwindling stack of pennies in my bank  account.

I have decided to send of for the 'Tax payer funded Free Quit Kit' to amuse myself with as I wave a fond farewell to the little white sticks that have been a major part of my life for the last 25 years.

My lungs aint what they used to be. I've had chest problems since I sucked in shedloads of burning oil back in 91' in Kuwait actually. So maybe I'll feel better - who knows?

I'm fortunate that my GP is not one of Bunker 10's lackeys. His opening gambit tends to be 'Still smokng and drinking too much? Good man so am I' So I haven't been pressured into this decision.

I am making a provision for the future though. If I survive to my 80th birthday I fully intend to start up again. So for now it's time to spend a last few moments with those old chums of mine Lambert & Butler. As the man said - Parting is such sweet sorrow.

  1. I've had a fight trying to stop but I've cut down. Everytime I want one I come into the Mac first and then there's usually a comment to answer. By the time I've done that the idea has diminished. Tried e-cig but get mouth ulcers. Will have a look at Swedish snus, never heard of it before.

    I'm certainly not buying any of the government's propaganda stuff like Nicorette etc.
