I also have a feeling that one of my regular half assed attempts at giving up the fags may be about to happen. If it does and you see me out and about with a cigarette in my hand please feel free to point out that I'm supposed to have quit. Just don't be offended when I turn around to face you with a feral gleam in my eye and scream "Fuck off! I need this to stay alive!" :-)

I thought you were doing quite nicely on just a few a day....and does this have anything to do with the new swedish research that came out today....and if you do 'give up' the fags and then have an occasional one that's not a problem.

The 'couple a day' during the week is not a problem. The problemis the amount I smoke when I go out drinking. And the only way to stop myself wanting a fag when i have a pint is to cut out cigarettes completely.
By the way, what Swedish resarch do you mean?

Today they said that smoking as few as three cigarettes a day can double your chance of a heart attack.

But don't pay too much attention: your chance of having a heart attack could be 10,000:1 ...would it worry you if it rose to 5,000:1.

In the same vein, we used to tell newbies in the laboratory that people who drink out of laboratory glassware usually die. Some of them still don't get that one.
