Re: Give up or Cut down ?
I gave up for 2 years, cold turkey, just picked a date and did it. Put on loads of weight.
2008 was not such a good year for me and i started smoking again in April, still on them, not lost any bloody weight, so that myth that smoking reduces your appetite is so over for me
Funnily enough i have picked this coming Saturday to stop again, got the nicotine chewing gum and the inhaler thingy to help.
Lol i will be like an anti christ all next week

Re: Give up or Cut down ?
With due thanks to Wikipedia..
A buttery, also known as a rowie, rollie or Aberdeen roll, or disrespectfully as "a heart attack on a plate" or overly enthusiastic "croissant of the North", is a savoury Scottish bread roll. They are noted for their flaky texture and buttery taste (hence the name), similar to a flattened (or rather: never really properly rolled), round croissant, with a very salty taste. They are often eaten toasted with jam or butter, although the high fat content makes them extremely hot when toasted.
As the alternate name of Aberdeen roll suggests, butteries are a speciality of Aberdeen but they are common throughout the North East of Scotland.
They were created in the 1880s, to provide the growing Aberdeen fishing industry a type of high-fat roll which would keep for longer periods at sea than conventional rolls.

Re: Give up or Cut down ?
Think you may have me confused with someone else...
The buttery is held in such high regard by expat Scots that some are willing to pay crazy amounts of cash to get one delivered...
