It's Day One.............

True Pasty, sorry to say.

Smell that ashtray before you empty it.



When I've been in the pub after a game my hair smells and my clothes smell from other people's fags.

My Girlfriend smokes I hate it. She stopped for 2 weeks and was doing really well then met up with her best mate and had a fag!! I was well pissed off.

 

[John Boy]

My substitute for the fags is going to be Food, Away games and Lager.

Sounds good, I'll assist you

It'll take years for you to free your smoke filled lungs. You'll be breathing it out for quite a while.

Carry on smoking and you will end up with the brain function of a lifetime Palarse supporter....The truth is...(from the NoSmokingDay website)..

The Health Benefits of Stopping

The health benefits of stopping smoking start almost immediately:

* 20 minutes: Blood pressure and pulse return to normal.
* 8 hours: Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood are halved, oxygen levels in the blood return to normal.
* 24 hours: Carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs start to clear out the build up of tar.
* 48 hours: There is no nicotine left in the body. Taste and smell are greatly improved.
* 72 hours: Breathing becomes easier, bronchial tubes begin to relax, energy levels increase.
* 2 - 12 weeks: Circulation improves, making walking and running a lot easier.
* 3 - 9 months: Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as the lungs have room for up to 10% more oxygen.
* 5 years: Risk of heart attack is halved.
* 10 years: Risk of lung cancer is halved.
* 10 years: Risk of heart attack is at the same level as non-smokers.
* Medium to long-term: Risk of developing lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke and chronic lung disease is reduced - the sooner you stop, the sooner your risk starts going down.
* Medium to long-term: Stopping smoking at any age increases your life expectancy, provided that you stop before the onset of serious disease. Even if you have developed a disease, you can benefit from stopping as your body will be under less strain and be able to fight it more easily.
* Medium to long-term: A smoker who has suffered from a heart attack can halve the risk of a second heart attack by stopping smoking.
* Medium to long-term: Ten years after stopping smoking an ex-smoker's risk of lung cancer is reduced by 30 - 50% compared with that of a continuing smoker.
* Medium to long-term: Smokers who stop before the age of 35 have a life expectancy not significantly different from that of a non-smoker.
* Medium to long-term: Smokers who stop between 65 and 74 years of age have a better life expectancy beyond 75 than those who continue to smoke.
* For life:
o Reduce stress
o Any physical activity is easier
o Don't tire as quickly
o Improve sense of taste and smell
o Improved skin

I wish we were playing Palace today............I'D take 'em all on single handed

Giving up smoking is easy mate (8 months now) Just move to a country where you can't smoke in pubs. Makes it so much easier to give up.
