Tell me about it, going into Pizza hut, dressed up as a Viking with a group of friends who were pirates and ordering the salad - what kind of Viking eats the salad?

Buying nothing at all would be a good way of saving money! I don't subscribe to the believe that smoking is a strong addiction. I mean, I've been smoking for years without any problem at all.

The main problem I think with smoking addiction is that it's too easy to smoke a ciggy when you get stressed, or any other excuse for that matter.

It's determination that is needed, not to start quiting or to buy these 'solutions', but determination to not start smoking when things get tough. Some say that people never really quit smoking, and I can see where they get that from. Doesn't matter if you haven't smoked for 50 years, if you were in a firing squad and had a last request, it would probably be for a ciggie . Maybe the bottom line is that smoking is actually enjoyable, and people don't like to quit - so reducing the health risks is far more important and beneficial than trying to get people to quit. For one thing, the government should be pushing for this - god knows how much money the government skim off each pack for themselves. Make smoking healthier I say, because I can't see my dad ever quitting.

That's one of the problems though - people only think about quitting after they become seriously ill, rather than pre-empting it And in some cases they even continue smoking heavily after becoming seriously ill too...

.. and then they become a strain on the socialized health care system, and the public have to pay more in taxes to support them because they weren't bothered to quit.

Firefox spell checker lists the correct spelling for all those words except for dieing.

By way of demonstration, he emitted a batlike squeak that was indeed bothersome.
