The problem is that it's all too easy to see smoking (and other vices) as being glamourous without fully appreciating the knock-on effects that it has, not just to your own health but also to the health and mental well-being of those around you.

But on the brighter side... only 45 days to the first race of the season!! :o

hope the quitting is going well mate,if it isnt,dont give up giving up,keep trying,bit like racing really!!it was a major contributable factor with my triple bypass,and i felt so much better just by giving up,keep busy mate its worth it !!
:biaggi:

Good luck with it mate.
It took me four or five attempts before I finally managed to quit but it sounds like you're really motivated and determined.
Life without cigarettes can seem unimaginable when you're a regular smoker but it's soon forgotten and boy does it feel good.
Funny isn't it that riding motorbikes is also considered a health risk by some, but there's nothing more life-affirming - get off the tobacco and get the most out of your riding!
