I'm not so sure that's really such a "funnypic" Martle - especially bearing in mind its sponsor. Baz |

Hey, Baz - I don't own the website. Neither am I laughing. Although irony's a funny thing...

I see George Melly died today - of lung cancer. Mind you, he was 80 years old and had lived life to the full.

Beverly Sills died of lung cancer also, but she had never smoked. It can happen anyway as we all know. Smokers always point to this sort of example to try to argue the point. The fact is, you've got to be more likely to succumb to the disease if you're filling your lungs with rubbish and especially if you have a hereditary genetic predisposition.

Or even, since we're now in outer space, the Piano Symphony Number Forty-Eleven, Sirius, perhaps? Mind you, do bear in mind that Ian will first have either to discover or compose these works...
or commission! The fact is, you've got to be more likely to succumb to the disease if you're filling your lungs with rubbish and especially if you have a hereditary genetic predisposition.
Isn't it something like 98% of all lung cancer cases can be linked to tobacco smoking? (I remember a figure like that from somewhere...but...too lazy to fight my way through all the anti-smoking propaganda on the internet to find the statistic). |

Just thought I'd offer the heroic givers-up some encouraging carrot as well. We're all cheering you on from the towpath.  |

Still going well - got down to a steady 10-15 max per day now. Need to stick with that probably for another week or so, then try and reduce further, maybe to just 5 a day, then stop altogether. Are you and A coming along tonight? Be great to see you again. |

Whilst congratulating you on what is clearly a major reduction in your nicotintake, I really do still wonder if you're making it harder on yourself by giving up in stages rather than just stopping altogether - and, from what I've read in this thread, I'm not alone in this... Good luck, anyway! Best, Alistair |

and, from what I've read in this thread, I'm not alone in this ... Did anyone else say that? I would have thought Ian's done exactly the right thing - at least now if he doesn't succeed at giving up completely, he can revert to 10-15 a day rather than 40 a day. |
