Subject: RE: 42 days to no smoking (UK)
Skipy, some of those on your list are NOT about choices. I've worked too long in the health service to be other than convinced that you CAN make choices to improve your longevity and state of health on the way to the inevitable, which may be particularly uncomfortable if you die of smoking-related disease, be it cancer, arterial disease or COPD.
I'm currently watching my father-in-law slowly peter out through failing lung function after many years of too much smoking, so please don't be so flippant about it. (Although he has been known to say himself "you've all got to die of something").
