Don't believe you Skipy. Smokers just say that to cover for the fact they are addicted. You had plenty of opportunity to give up before a no smoking ban was proposed, now all of a sudden you won't give up because of the no smoking ban.

Sounds like cutting off your nose to spite your face.

I say this Skipy, not out of a wish to condemn, but out of a concern for your health.

P.S. My 24 year old son took the same line. Thankfully he has now given up, hope he continues.
