notsmokinjo

and out came a stench so vile and repulsive anyone who smelt it has havin a ralph. I put in 1 thong (flip flop) and a wheelie bin

Um... indigo has a higher proportion of blue and a higher wave length and violet has a higher proportion of red but a lower wave length... and they frickin look different, kind of like brown and orange loom different. Why do we say someone has tickets on themselves?

Really enjoying this thread and the mature discussion. So brass tacks lets break this down... Vaping is less hazardous than smoking. Vaping is not safe. There are less chemicals in vaping than in ciggies. Vaping is a big unknown. But as Sslip said, if it came to the choice of a family member smoking or vaping me, I'd be on my knees begging them to vape. Research on vaping, is new, vague, inconclusive and easily manipulated. Its early days, its a new and evolving beast, its use is on the rise. research is predominantly quantitative in nature not qualitative Quantitative research is survey based, and looks at extrapolating numbers or percentage results without weighting for variables Qualitative research tends to involve one on one interviews, in depth questioning on variables and/or physical investigation (tests) and analysis, research tends to be from small groups, which detracts from its accuracy. research pools have roughly 30% (or more) drop off rate, which on reporting doesn't always include in their presentation of research findings. Both the pro & anti vaping camps are nit picking the data they want within the same studies to argue their opposing points. This just muddies the waters. As of yet, I have found only one decent piece of research into the health impacts of vaping and it identifies itself as not being thorough enough and that further research is needed. Personally... vaping is not for me, it was never going to help me stop smoking BUT I think despite the fact there is still so much unknown about it, it does have its place in the scope of quitting... from what I have read, it helps some people to quit completely, it helps some people to quit smoking ciggies but they now vape instead, and it does nothing to help the majority. So what then is the difference between vaping and nrt gum?? (which is what i used to help me quit) ... NRT gum has an even smaller rate of successful quitters than vaping... there are some who quit smoking but for years later are still using NRT, there are some who use both... and there are more people still smoking than quit. BUT for some it is a successful tool to end their addiction... there are still lots of unkowns about the long term effecs of NRT. So really, statistically, vaping is a more sucessful quit aid than nrt gum. Sometimes I wish I had a fast forward button so I can see what the long term science says. ^^^That is the crux of the whole thing.... just switching from smoking to vaping isn't going to make you quit... you need to make the committment and do the hard frickin yards to keep that commitment and stop smoking... its like loosing weight you can't take a pill and not change your diet or exercise routine... you need to put in the work, you need to want it and only you can do it... you can use aids to ease the way but they wont make you quit only you can do that.

if it loves you it will come back. why do rainy days get you down?

Is he trying to save face after publically slamming their PM & his new trade laws?

So Weegie, is Glasgow going to out protest London? (I reckon youse have it inyas)

False - its staged and unrealistic like their soccer players... I don't mind the history, the scenery is OK but it seems contrived so while it doesn't leave a negative impression it doesn't really leave a possitive one either... its all just meh... but then again that could just be the commentary we get. TNP will watch the World Cup Final

Happily watching my footy team annihilate my dad's footy team... 54 points up at 3/4 time...aah the smell of victory in the air.

Hell yeah... um, True..... wouldn't miss it. TNP will watch at least 1 stage of Le Tour this year.

So why is there such a difference between women's soccer and men's soccer:

Already in training for pro football... the great art of the dive:

I don't normally do weapons but Demascus steel is soooo purrty.....

True ... every day, listening to music now, 101 Friday Floorfillers... and its the Foo Fighters Road To Ruin.... TNP has plans for a big weekend

Maybe you could use this, don't pictures say 1,000 words?

Will you have a sign Fluffy?

True - you were never a kid, you are an AI super computer posing as a pommy gent. TNP has read a book in the past week.

true.... and if you say you haven't you were never a kid. TNP has farted in public and successfully evaded blame?

Woohoo Babs... you frickin little ripper... wot an awesome achievement.... 6 years is fan-freakin-tastic... make sure you celebrate cos you deserve it!

Congratulations @babs609 for being a wonderful non-smoking quiter for 6 YEARS!! Well done Babs for KTQ for 6 years. Thank you for still being around the boards to help and support those coming behind you, we appreciate all you do to help us. What a wonderful inspiration it is to have someone around who has been free for so long. So despite the busy month, Reci and his cleaning crew have that Lido Deck sparkling, the drinks are ready so its time to party..

100% got ya back mate. I was super impressed you owned up to the timeline and nature of your relapse there were lessons there for all of us. You know the only person responsible for the relapse was you and you own that, you know the only person responsible for keeping the quit is you and you own that... you know you are a better you, a better dad and a healthier one when you are a non-smoker so you have the resolve, you have the confirmation that smoking makes you feel shite about yourself so your resolve is there. This time its going to stick.

Off to a good start there turtle. Well done.
