and so I have decided to get a head start and quit smoking. I am now popping outside to have my last cigarette, as advised by Alan Carr, and am fully stocked on nicotine gum (which has helped me before, but is against the advice of Alan Carr).
I would like to wish all other english smokers who are thinking of quitting because of the ban good luck, and keep everyone informed of my progress here. Even if you don't want to hear it (in that case just ignore the thread).
I would also like to take this opportunity to have a minute's silence to commemorate the english pub as we know it. Things will never be the same again. :'(
Anyway, pip pip...

similar ban is in effect in south africa for some time now. and sure, lots of people tried to quit since they can't smoke at their work desks and etc. restaurants and pubs were revamped to accommodate smoker's corner, which we were still allowed (for how long still - i don't know) ... but after the whole hipe was over, everything seemed to get back to normal - most of the smokers i know, who tried to quit, are still happily puffing away ... hmmm, including me. so, i guess, a similar thing would happen your side of the ocean - after awhile things will start settling down and you will find ways and means of having that so much desired 'spliff' ... 😉
unless, of course, this is just another reason, among many already, for you to quit smoking ... then, good luck! my reason is gone now, so i'll be lighting that smoke for y'all in three days. 😛

If it will work or not, I don't know
i see this can turn into quite a bun fight ... 🙂
i just don't see too many smokers (and non-smokers) complaining about other junkies, soaking their livers in booze. may be we should ban pubs altogether ... and hell, while we're at it, driving cars is dangerous too, as much for you as other people on the roads. oh, and i forgot, sexually transmitted diseases are a danger to our fine society! so, how about we ban all of these 'bad' things and hang cow bells on our necks, procreating in a carefully controlled environment - and dare you have fun during this process! but, i'm sure i've read something like that in another thread.

However, I would strongly recommend that you don't use gum.. unless for a short while only.

if they are taking away our human right to consume a product that has been alowed to go on sale by them surley they should reduce the tax on it?
like hell will they do that they are too greedy.
did anyone know that if a council worker or such like enter your house you have to stop smoking as it their work place. its an outrage.
Originally posted by ChaosChildyou're still thinking for yourself. STOP THAT!!!
but that promotes violence as well ... same as video games, gambling, music, tv and ... heck, as everything else.
give me my dog tag with a cow bell and take me back to the barn!!! 😕
that last cigarette was disgusting.
Originally posted by knightwesti can't think of the whole world and every poor sod, dying from hunger, oppression, civil wars, devastation and etc, etc ... i think of a few people that are close to me, and in whose lives i can make a difference. to tell you the truth, i'll die for those few with the smile on my face. as for the rest - i couldn't be bothered. i've grown out of the age when i was trying to change the world ... i'm trying hard now for the world not to change me.

and btw, the cigarette i just had was no different from any other i had in my life. 😉
