If you don't count the taste.

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.

Eww. I think I'll pass on the rotten body parts.

I'm not sure which part was worse... Fighting the "Need" or fighting the "Want" for a smoke. It's easier to say you don't want something when you NEED it... Harder to say you don't want it when you DO want it. Sort of a split personality thing going on right now. It's weird.

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!

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.

most of my other nicknames for it are unprintable where minors are concerned. although, the act mentioned by our friend in Colchester I like to describe as "sipping from the furry chalice".

as for flavour: there are two things that taste of fish, and one of those is fish!

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.

Hi all,

You guys are a riot!! :-D

Never heard any of these expressions before.


As to smoking; I always say, EVEN IF cigarettes were $1 a pack, tax included, of WHAT BENEFIT are they?

N O N E !!!!!

None whatsoever!

No vitamins, no minerals. It doesn't increase your beauty or make you smarter. It increases your need to clean, and virtually it's impossible, in many ways. How disgusting is it to see people whose skin has changed colour to yellowish IN their hands, and or has burns on their fingers from them falling asleep with cig in hand? No end to hassles too.

If you're somewhere, say standing on a corner smoking, dangerous types will come over asking you for an extra one. (Hmmmm, not like they're not looking for someone to rob, anyway.)


Also, what's up with "hey, you got a light?"

If you smoke a pack a day, that's 7,300 a year, and 73,000 in ten years! Why the (insert profanity) DON'T YOU KNOW where the damn lighter is or HAVE ONE??!!??!!!!!?


OKAY, OKAY, OKAY, there IS ONE benefit (since you've gone there already), a girl could ask you for a smoke/light, but there are ALWAYS strings attached, you know? ;-)



P.S. Most reprehensible is when people fall asleep with an ashtray on their bed, and we know what happens next....

(Hey, accidents happen, but...)

True, except for the following:

or make you smarter.

There is scientific evidence that smoking makes you concentrate better (for a while), wich makes you in a way, smarter.

It probably makes smokers concentrate better, but their baseline concentration without smoking is probably impaired due to nicotine withdrawl symptoms to start with, so perhaps it merely brings them back up towards that of a non smoker ;-)

Ever seen a regular smoker try to do anything complicated when they need a cigarette? Half the time they can barely light it without shaking...
