BGD 6,436 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 A couple of glasses of wine or beer can actually be good for you, I doubt you'd find any medical professional who would say the same about smoking the odd fag! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird 9,968 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have smoked for the last 36 years trying to give it up have gone 5 weeks without one its ok if your doing something but after a few stellas at night its murder well done mate don't fookin crack , the booze will really test you . I stopped fags 25 years ago, cut the booze down to 1 can a night in the house, and 3-4 cans on sat night. the booze as got me in to trouble over the years , I done things that I never do sober . yep I am better bloke for it regards the fags, my old mom smoked for 50 years she died 77 , but the last 5 years of her life , she could hardly talk proper , the fags had damaged her voice box, it was terrible to see her like it, it broke my heart , she tried tons of time to pack the fags , but could never do it , it was smoking killed her in end. even though ive stopped 25 years ago , my lungs are not what they should be ive lost some lung capacity yep keep at it mate , fight it like I did don't be a slave to cigarettes .!! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Stress is a major killer as well but they don't bang on about it because that would mean telling millions of tax payers to take it easy and work less. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

max_wood 161 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Few fags never made anyone go home and beat the Mrs up or kill anyone in a road accident so drinks worse in my books Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neil cooney 10,416 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I knew a farmer who outlived two wives and chained smoked all his life. In retirement the only radio he had was in his Ford Fiesta and he'd sit in the car reading the paper, listening to the radio and chain smoking. You couldn't see into the car for smoke. He also drank a few pints every night. He lived 'till his mid 90s and I think he had a brother who seen the same age. Yet, you often hear of young people dropping dead nowadays. I agree 100% about stress being a massive killer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 27,043 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) I think alcohol causes the most antisocial behaviour,but i remember when smoking was allowed on aircraft,f***ing hell imagine that now,and when i was a kid it was like living inside a smoke filled lung with both of my parents kicking out ciggie smoke like puff the magic f***ing dragon,what a noxious habit,you can smell a smoker.

The Seeker 3,048 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Fags are certainly worse than drinking unless your on a bottle of spirits a day. People who go on about relatives smoking late in life I understand, Ive family members who have smoked late in life BUT the quality of life and overall health in comparison to a non smoker who's the same age is miles away, 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was one of them, the idiots that pay for everything and end up dying early. My main philosophy in life now is to to pay almost no tax regardless of if I have to turn down work. If more people do this the retards in power will realise who they work for Quote Link to post Share on other sites
