Not the ban that has made me want to give up, I want to give up to save the money I spend on them! £45 a week FFS

So I am gonna give giving up a go, and tie it in with the smoking ban thingy aswell, incase it helps.....

They've got a little outhouse at my local, it's the best plcae to be in the pub, even though I don't smoke!

Nice chairs, nice fresh air, and heaters!

Although it'll get ruined soon enough no doubt.

I'm thinking that £2340 a year is a fooking holiday! Give up, save the £45 a week for a year and get to go back to New York for a week next year!

Can't wait, as said above coming home stinking of smoke is shit! And the smell lingers in my lovely long hair for days

I put the No Smoking stickers up at work as soon as the pack arrived a month or so ago and don't let anyone smoke on site now! Fuck 'em! dirty bastards!

I gave up 6 months ago and I hate EVERYONE that still smokes, because I want to... every day

Just smoke roll-ups. £5's worth of backy lasts a week!

I seem to smoke less as well, as i can't roll when driving. usually on a trip to Manchester/Hull wherever, i'd have 3 or 4 cigs along the way if i had a pack next to me.

Sometimes as well i just cant be arsed rolling up so will wait a bit

Oh well, no doubt in a few years time all the non smokers will get their way, smoking will be banned full stop, taxes will rise to compensate for the loss in revenue from ciggie duty so you'll still have something to moan about.

Exactly what I was thinking, instead of just smelling that normal stale smoke pub smell you'll be able to smell all of the dirty fuckers in there.

well ive never liked smoking and waking up in the morning after clubbing to smell my missus hair when im also hung over makes me wanna chug

glad its in place,,,,, also due to this we now get two five min breaks in the morning and 2 in the afternoon,,,, before the smokers took the piss having breaks all the time when they got bored and the non smokers had to carry on working

the bans a pukka idea

now all they need to do is legalise drugs

Why? For years we've had to dance to the smokers tune getting our new clothes smelling like shit in a bar or a club not to mention more serious things like actually breathing it in, then you go for a meal and all you get is a no smoking area most of the time. Its ok though as long as you can't see most of the smoke it gives off. Where was our choice?

I personally will contemplate setting someone alight if i see them hovering around the entrance blocking it and blowing shit in my face after this ban is in place! Lazy cunts.

Wanted to quit for the past 3 years and been failing miserably,

Ive now been stopped for 4 weeks with an apparent saving of about £70 a week, that is now being spent on apples and banana milkshakes

1 thing about quitting the smokes, I can eat like a fucking army now
