Phwoar, look at the humps on that!

I only stopped 'cos of heart. They made it a condition of treatment .... not that the subsequent bypass worked 

I would start again but for Minimus and his asthma. Wouldn't be fair.

Anyway I've been off them for 12 years now and I really don't see putting all that tax money into the Treasury Coffers!

I hadn't bought them in the UK for a good few years anyway. And with the amount of travel that my Brother and his Girlfriend do I wouldn't have to now either.

Strangely, the asthma I suffered when younger pretty much vanished when I started smoking. Most odd.

It cured my Hay Fever too!

[Bar Wench]

Brother Wench agrees with both of you!

I do recall people (actors prolly) dressed in white coats, with stethescopes hanging round their necks to make them look like doctors, advertising certain brands "For Asthma Sufferers"

That would be the Menthol!

[Snoopy]

No ~ long before menthol ciggies came along. "Cool as a mountan breeze (or was it stream?) .... Consulate anyway.
The ones I had in mind were called Arial(sp?) I think.

Smoking must be good, as it cures Herrings

 

My brother started smoking at the age of 35 and he's not had an epileptic fit since  My dad died in 1992 after smoking 40-60 a day for forty years. The autopsy revealed his lungs to be "absolutely fine"

Well that's 50 odd years of research disproven then. 

I have never, ever smoked, not even a single puff.

What's it like?

My Dad was the same. Yes he died of cancer but his lungs weren't touched.

[Snoopy]

My granddad smoked all his life. Died of cancer of the ear when he was 85. Do you suppose it was putting the tab ends behing his lughole that did it?

[Nick]

My Dadand Grandadf both died of lung cancer (GD after a second marriage in his 80s).My mum smoked liek a chimbley all her life (me: passive smoking) and died at 80 of summat else. F*ck it, I am off for a fag!
