Am thinking the brunette version is much more lovely than the blonde, who was still lovely!

Smoking killed both my Mum and my Dad....two most brilliant people It was fashionable when they were young (1940's/50's) and the dangers relatively undiscovered.

I dabbled as a teen, but never really saw the attraction.

I actually like the smell of new cigarette smoke, especially the first 'draw'......but then again all my childhood I was a passive smoker, so it's probably associated with childhood memories

I think we can nip this in the bud and agree both are huge issues. My point is that smoking is almost universally accepted as bad for you. Obesity is too but much less is done about it. That is all I am saying

Lets start our own business off, il deal with the smokers you deal with the obese ppl? We will do a roaring trade!

We use electronic cigarettes with 0% nicotine juice which solves that very problem when socialising and drinking. It works a treat as most of our friends smoke.

They smoke their toxin and we can still join them without smoking the actual poison.

id have to say my friends daughter inlaw was obese would have been about 120 Kilo. she was only 19 & on blood pressuse pills & could hardley walk had trouble with her ankles e.t.c was always tired & sick. She had no energy. for a young person looked awful

since her loosing about 20 kilo what a differene in her. She is walking faster & is off the blood pressure pills.

And here is me trying to get some weight on my daughter that is under weight. im always trying to get more food into her. I just want her in the healthy weight range.

That's because when a fat person eats too much they only harm themselves. When a smoker lights up they affect everybody around them. Thankfully I have not been sat on by a fat person in a long time but I sure as hell get poisoned by disgusting ciggy smoke on a regular basis. It's gross

Look there has been many a beauty that has smoked and has done it with style.

If it wasn't bad for you and the smell then I'd have no issue with it.

For the rest of us non-smokers, the smell on peoples' clothes and in their homes is enough to prevent us starting.

I can never work out how people start.

If that is, say, once a month that you give in, then I reckon that might be a worthwhile cause if it helps the rest of the time.

I thought the anti smoking laws would cut that out? Do members of your family and family smoke then?
