Well done, Nutty, from another smoker who is supportive of those who give up.

I trust you will continue to feel sorry for those of us still addicted, and not become another intolerant ex-smoker.

Nowadays I only smoke 100pc tobacco cigars, on the basis that a chum of mine who worked in cancer research told me that there was a school of thought that considered that the additives in cigarettes and especially the paper used are more carcinogenic than the tobacco itself.

That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!
