Re: Vaping
All the bars in the UK now stink of farts, spew, stale beer and red bull. At least previously the smoke masked it.

Re: Vaping
28. About 7 years. Started on a work piss up in Budapest on Marlboro reds for some reason.
I smoked in a mall in Kuwait only a few years back. Didn't really like it.
****, spot on. You stalker.
Stairwells seem popular, our one at work ****ing stinks (only been in it once mind).
Greeks included.
Smoking in the UK is hard work in some places. You're made to feel like a proper wrong'un at times.
I was just curious as to the ages, whether you're in your 50s or 20s. I know Scamp is 28ish? Not judgemental but wondering if there was a pattern of age-quitting.
As for indoor smoking in offices, isn't it technically illegal in Dubai?
I remember going to a client office for a meeting and there were no-smoking signs posted but the place stunk to high heaven (all locals/Arabs/South Asian expats).

Eastern Europe, especially the Balkans and Russia, is infamous for this. And the Arab world too. And China.Smoking in the UK is hard work in some places. You're made to feel like a proper wrong'un at times.

Just my 2 ha'pth. I started smoking at school, maybe 14 or 15 and I stopped at 46. So about 10 years ago now. It took about 2 seconds to stop, I remember waking up in the morning and with 2 in the pack couldn't be bothered to drag myself to the nearest 7-11 about a kilometre away. So that was it. The pack with the 2 in went straight in the bin and I've never looked back.
My guiding principle was that all I had to do if ever I wanted a smoke was do something that precluded it. Hop in the shower, hop on the wife etc etc. Also made myself a jam butty whenever I could feel the need. Took about 2 weeks and that was it. Time to time still get that slight tinge but since I'm a 'non' that's all it is.
Been through all the tough ones, a week in a hotel room in Saudi with nothing to do. That's a pretty good test.
I do think that wanting to stop is the single biggest driver though.
Once the upsides started to kick in, taste, physical stamina, I think it would be hard to go back.
