An old boss of mine used to spend more on Havana cigars at the weekend than my week's wages.

Absolutely filthy and disgusting. Anti-social and selfish.

Re: Smoker or Non Smoker

When I first started work by far the majority of men smoked when I retired a tiny minority did ie 1 or 2 in over 100 workers. According to stats less than 15% of adults in Australia smoke.

I gave up in 1983 after running after my kids left me panting. I went cold turkey and the first couple of weeks was OK because will power was high it would have been a bit of a struggle from thn on were it not for my sense of smell returning.

I had to wash every article of clothing I owned, the curtains etc the smell of smoke was awful. Going to the club was a trial because in those days people still could smoke so when you got home you could smell other people's smoke on your clothes.

It is a dreadful addiction but with stringent laws about where you can and cannot smoke, plus plain packaging it is dying out though I doubt that it will be completely wiped out there will always be addicts to something. Fortunately these days it is largely confined to the privacy of the addicts home thank gawd! (there is no one worse than a reformed smoker)

Nope never smoked, I tried it when I was about 17 but they made me feel sick... I count myself lucky to have had that reaction.

People don't really know how much they smell when they smoke Yuk!


Very true - you can smell them when they walk/stand near you in the street!

My foray into smoking lasted all of a week. I am glad I saw the light.

Yes you were lucky Summer, it was love at first puff for me and the love affair lasted 48 years before I managed to quit, but even then it wasn't because I fell out of love, but just ad a greater desire to survive in reasonable health. I have been without a single puff for the last nine years now and never felt better, but the pang of a lost love still haunts me....
