reasons to be uncheerful

i have been smoking 40 a day for god knows how long, am now on day 10 of my stop smoking plan, i am trying the "tabex" method and so far it seems to be working. And at £12 for a box of 100 tablets its a lot cheaper than going down the nicoret patches and gum route

Well done on making the decision to quit. I'm sure you'll feel much, much healthier for it afterwards, even if it seems like going through hell when quitting.

DD - not just racing

Well done Mike, kick that evil weed.
Brings to mind Andy Shepard who (if I remember correctly?) was also struggling with his fitness training mid season, tests showed that he had a serious heart condition, but he carried on, won Class A, then retired from racing and had corrective surgery.

My Mum smoked 20 a day for 60 years and was convinced it did her no harm. She just died of pancreatic cancer, THE MOST PAINFUL TYPE, which had spread to her Ilium, stomach, lungs and bones......it just creeps up on you...get off those fags !

Anyone who smokes should go spend some time on a cancer ward.

Having lost my 15 year old nephew to cancer, it's not an experience I would wish on anyone.

My best buddy died of lung cancer aged 50.

But - he lived more life in his short time than many do in a 'normal' lifetime.

Jeez - aren't we a cheery bunch today

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!!

The average UK smoker spends £2500 a year on cigarettes.
