Heaven beside you, Hell within!

December 31st 2006 marked ten years since I quit smoking and I've never looked back.  Sure, quitting isn't easy but within three months of quitting I could swim a mile.  Within a year I could swim that mile in under 30 minutes.

As for having lady partners who smoke, it's downright disgusting.  Kissing someone who tastes like the inside of a tramps pocket is one thing but take it from me you can even tell a lass is a smoker when "heading south of the border".

Good luck with the quitting, very soon you won't look back.

That's an interesting thing. I have had two girlfriends that smoke, and they had a different taste (when comparing one to the other). In fact I would say all those sausage wallets have a different taste, maybe some research is needed into that.

First of all :lol: at the "sausage wallet" euphamism, I rather like "Spam Purse" myself.

Secondly, all ladies in my experience are unique in that respect although smokers tend to be somewhat distinctive.  Yuk!

several ex-smokers recomend chewing gum

Actually it does help, but the main thing for me was finding something I enjoyed doing which was enhanced when I stopped smoking.  I got into sports before quitting and discovered I enjoyed the endorphine rush of exercise far more than I did the rush of nicotine.  Quitting smoking = better fitness levels = bigger endorphine rush.

Keef Burtons? Ahem...

I'd love to know where the "fish" analogy comes in, as if it does have a tendency to resemble the latter then its owner is liable to be sent to the bathroom to rectify the situation before I embark on an rainforest charting expedition south of the equator.

I quite like it when the butterfly has a little moustache...

I remember a g/f once saying "try and find the little man in a canoe".  

I spent the next three hours searching, but by the time I got back from the canal, she'd buggered off home.
