Skipy, I gave up successfully then started again after about four years - in my case a death in the family. Later it was the consultant.

But I don't whinge about smokers - at least I try not to.

I hate smoking in pubs now - and I live in Spain part of the time where the problem is one hundred times worse. The Spanish brought in a law about smoking in bars - one bar I know well has a no-smoking area. But they put ashtrays on the tables just in case!!
