flyin_scouseman Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Wish i had the determination to quit, but i'm a very stressed person and this is my only release(apart from drinking as he pours another glass of whisky ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Nice one I'm gonna give it a try as of Sunday(verrrry unconvincing die hard smoker). Good luck mate!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Yes but been trying to give up. Just hate when people have ago when there just as bad. Ah, so now we are getting somewhere....you are a smoker, so you see it from a completely different perspective. Sure it's fine to chuck your stinking smoldering crap around the place. Try harder, give up and then you will see just how annoying this strange sub culture of smoking is. Most annoying thing I find is when I get off the train in the mornings there are people who have their stupid fags ready in their hands and have lit up by the time their foot has hit the platform, exhaling their crap into other peoples airspace. When I met Em my current bird she smoked (as do a couple of my kids) and at first it didn't bother me too much but after a while it is really hard to put up with. She gave up last Feb. and was a 30 a day girl. If she can do it anyone can, believe me. Oh and as for smokers paying for the NHS, that may be the case but once you have fucked someones lungs up from your rubbish smoking habbit, no matter of cash you or you smoking buddies have provided will be able to buy a new pair of lungs. Have to go anyhow, need to buy some redex to put in my car so I can come round and pipe it into your house via the letter box. Rant over, good luck if you are really trying to give up.

Sheefa Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Spitting chewing gum out the window bloody annoys me more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I hate it when people throw lighted fags out of the window. My Integrale used to have a leaking connector pipe on the Petrol Tank (a common problem apparently), so I was non too chuffed when the person in front or next to me did that !!

Jake Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Smoking whilst driving = road traffic offence too??? You could get slapped with anything from Driving without due care and attention to Dangerous driving?? What rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Spitting chewing gum out the window bloody annoys me more! What about bogeys?? I think anything that comes out a car window shows the driver or passenger is a tosser!! Was following a fiesta a couple of weeks ago and the passenger offloaded a whole Mcdonalds bag full of cartons and shit. I couldn't say or do anything or you'd have had 2 chavs kicking the shit out of you!! Twats H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdavies Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 What rubbish. Ahh I can trust Jake to pull me up on any queries or tenuous quotes or misgivings Hmm, I was suggesting it as more of a question (hence the inane ??'s) - something I had been told (and heard on the radio)... such things as : Kissing yer missus, taking a bite from a sarnie, taking a toke on your fave brand while sat at traffic lights etc, if spotted by an appropriate member of the law could land you with an on the spot fine at very least! I think there has only been "specific" legislation against mobile phones to be honest - where it is written in law. I will be asking a few friends in the law enforcement game about this, but I am pretty sure if you have a bump and you were found to have been puffing on a ciggie (or eating a sarnie/sweets/masturbating), you will be deemed to have not been in full control of the vehicle and therefore driving without due care and attention. As for smoking in cars, I know plenty of smokers that respect their cars way too much to do something as daft as smoke in them. Devalue and damage your vehicle if you want. Person that owned my car previously was a heavy smoker, wish she wasn't as it took me ages to get the stench out of the A/C plus there were some funky burns in the carpet/rear seats (also some odd looking high-heel marks in the ceiling, but thats another story ). Anyway - bottom line is tossing your ciggie out of the window itself is illegal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSoarer2.5TT Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I smoke but not when i'm driving anymore, used to be my worst habit. Get in the car spark up a lung basher. Makes your car stink to but when you do it you don't notice it, I really notice it now when I get in a smokers car. But still worse than a fag is a mobile phone, I was driving along eating a pear and talking on the phone (Very stupid I know but I was explaining to the misses I was going to be late back because of a roadworks on the M11), anyway she was moaning, I wasn't listening, I finished my pair and chucked it out the window. One problem the Pear was still in my hand. So it could be worse you could have a mobile phone lugged at you while driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjodrell Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Ouch. I want to be loved not despised:p After a very dodgy start, I'm up to 12 days so far. I imagined it was going to be hard, but the evenings are the worst...especially as the wife still smokes. I packed up last new years day, still packed up a year on and it still isnt that easy. I previously gave up for 12 solid years until mistakingly thought (while drunk) Just ONE wont hurt, within in a couple of months I was back on 20 a day. Determined this time to stay a non smoker, just remember by the summer practically the only placed you will be able to smoke is in your house or in your car. Re the fags out of the window, I used to do it (sorry) but it annoys me now as its a hazzard, I do 1000s of motorway miles a year and especially at night, if somebody in front throws one out of the window I find myself doing a slight swerve to aviod the fly fag, just a reaction to seeing something heading towards you at speed. Keep it up , its really worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkTheBoy Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Car's come with ash trays for a reason! New 'fu@#ing' Astras dont! What are you supposed to do with ciggie butts then? (cue "don't smoke in your car" posts) I keep a tesco bag in the rear foot well so I can bin my rubbish cleanly, I never spit gum out the window but I seriously doubt that tossing a rollie out the window is gonna ruin the world. I apologise as it is littering, but, in the grand scheme of things its really rather trivial and there's surely bigger fish to fry. Oh and I always make sure theres no one up my arse if I flick one out. Well done to all who are staying off the tabs too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 All the best to those in the process of kicking it, and well done to those who have:). I've two leaving do's coming up, which are usually a bit fierce and will be my biggest test since Christmas. When I put my new (OEM) dash in recently, I spent a lot of time vacuuming all the crap / dirt out from under and behing the panels, and I cleaned all the switches dials and ashtray etc. Its all like new now, and a great incentive NOT to have a sly one on the way to work in the car. As my wife smokes, theres always fags lying around, and I have picked up the odd packet without thinking along with my keys in the mornings. Its hard.

Schtuv Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Is it me or does anyone else get really pissed off with drivers flicking their fag buts out of the window? Yes - especially at night. A nice shower of sparks coming at your car. Makes you remember you're sitting on top of tank of explosive fumes ... (Yes - I know there's no real danger of it going bang due to a fag butt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
