Give up or Cut down ?
 
I started smoking a few months after I arrived in Dubai, about 18 months ago, that after having given up for 15 years....stupid, I know

However, I have decided to knock it on the head again from this weekend onwards

So what was the last thing you gave up or was told (or decided to) to cut down on ?

ah, you see, now there's a bit of information you forgot to mention, BangleMan. it's not that you're trying to quit, it's that you're trying not to smoke packets of mints

(i once had someone say to me that riding a motorcycle was kind of like smoking methols... you'd like to share/offer a lift, but not one will take you up on it...)

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

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.

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...
