I've never really understood why they put government health warnings on cigarettes!!
It's not exactly a good marketing ploy.

Imagine if mac Donald's put a government health warning on its burgers .. maybe something along the lines of "our burgers may cause heart attacks, or make you grossly obese"!!

Its all about choices and free will.
It's up to everyone to look after their own health.
They are obliged to put the warning on them,
And some horrific pics as well,,, your lungs, your choice.comfort

A question for everyone: Do you consider vaping to be smoking? As in, on the profile where it asks if you smoke, and you don't consider vaping to be smoking, what answer would you put?

And, yes, I had a date argue that he wasn't a "smoker" because he used vaping. doh

It's a fact .. vapours are just a temporary substitute for smoking & even if you never smoke another cigarette, you're still a smoker !

annaroach: I can understand the alcoholic, but i know lots who gave them up (cigarettes)
and never went back to them,, they do leave your system after a certain period of time John.
The urge never goes , even people who quit for many years , still yearn for one .

Ok i won't go on , but, that's different to saying that they are still smokers

Anna, I am over 8 yrs off them and I would not dream of smoking one.
I loved my cigarette and would draw the smoke straight into my toes especially when doing paperwork. I don’t think the craving ever goes away!
dunno

Yeah, people differ with that account.
I have another son that gave them up a few years ago
read the Alan Carr book, he never looked back
i asked him some time ago does he get cravings for them
he said never,, ,so i guess everyone is different, it must be not so nice
to still crave one.hug
