No..But it's fairly Near there. I don't like the Grasshopper tbh. The Bulldog is so much better. But Anyone planning a trip to HamsterJam lemme know, it would be an honour to pull a pint for you. Lol@yfs. Banning smoking in Holland would be like banning shopping in London. You just can't do it. It goes together like two birds of a feather.
Forefeits don't work too well, Wifey was meant to 'lose' her new car if she started smoking again...The forfeit being that we would not be able to afford both !! I honestly can't see the car going back...and she's not exactly offering me the keys, LOL.
I never thought it would even be suggested in the UK but I predict it will happen in the next 5 years. Those British are always copying us
I can't see it happenening in the pubs here. But it happened at my friends work, the whole building got made non smoking, even in the canteen. You weren't even allowed to smoke outside, you had to go off the street. They banned smoking on station platforms too (they havent even done that in England yet!) There are only certain places on a platform you can smoke and if you smoke in a non smoking area you get a whopping fine. I've already been warned 3 times, but I just bat my eyelashes and play the 'Oh im so sorry, Im english I didnt realise' and I can get away with murder.
Smoking is the most retarded habit on earth. Getting drunk is kinda fun and coffee at least helps you focus. Nicotine does shit for you. I've been smoking for 20 years now and am sick of it, I wished it was illegal and there was no black market for it. Yeh, for the first 2 or 3 days I would be a wreck and my fingernails would be bitten down to the skin but then I'd be fine. I am worried about all the little Junior High dumbasses who start every day trying to look cool. Yeh, when you're a kid it may help you be a part of the popular group but when you're an adult, people will look at you like you're a criminal everytime you excuse yourself to have a cig.
Come on then ST. Join the DP Quitters Society. Pale spyder is in the lead but Mell and I are going to give it a bash (again!).
My little brother's just started. At first it was just the odd one, but now I think he wakes up and automatically thinks 'Fag Time' (which is precisely how I knew I was addicted) I have tried so many times to tell him not to start and to stop whilst he isn't 100% under the influence of ciggerettes because it's a nightmare to quit but he doesn't listen and probably just thinks I'm hypocritical because i'll be saying all this to him with a ciggy in my gob But it's the worst habbit ever and I wish to this day I'd never ever started! I have actually had to lie to my grandad and dad and told them I've quit because they hate it so much. And you're right - People do look at you like your a criminal when you light up a fag. Sometimes From the look on people's faces, I actually feel really really Guilty about smoking, like I'm doing something very wrong. We need to like change the trend (like with clothes where one thing is hip one day and totally uncool the next..) and market ciggerettes as really uncool and sad, instead of 'oh yeh it'll make you popular'.
Well we´ve not started yet. I reckon Monday is the big bag the fags day. I know, I know, you should just say do it NOW! but we´ve got this Zyban thing to think about, I´ve got to buy in loads of chocolate and Mell needs to cut all her patches in half. Monday?
k, Monday it is! btw forget the patch. I was trying the patch and first it worked. I felt high constantly. Then after a week I was wearing 4 patches at a time and starting to smoke on top of that ... F that!!! lol
You better, mister! Come on DPer's..the more the merrier. And just think we'll all still be able to post on here in 30 years time, instead of 6 foot under because we killed ourselves.
Glad to hear I inspired some folks to quit It is all part of my master plan to have you all giving me SEO advice for the rest...of....your...lives!!!! *Queue Evil Laughter*
Here we are... Monday! It is about 10.30 am and I have been a smoke free zone for 12 hours now. Man, this is tough. I can´t think about anything else. I have a little voice in my head, whispering.... go on, just one, you know you want to, just one ... Mell, ST did you stick to the quitting day? Palespyder, you still doing well? Aaargh! If I can make it through the day it will be a bloody miracle but I´m determined to do it.
