Smoking….

The most pointless, unnecessary, costly, stinking addiction ever to plague the planet.
I blame Costa and Starbucks and other coffee outlets, and yes , you're right about coffee stinking, vile stench, just like weed. I started smoking when I started work, smoked for about 20 years, then suddenly stopped, no reason, just woke up one morning and never touched another cigarette. That was before they banned smoking in pubs, and I was convinced if I went to the pub I would spark up again. I didn't . Couldn't care less if others smoke, I quite like the smell of tobacco smoke.

Remember it well. There is no mistaking that vile stench when you get into a smokers car, or a house full of smokers or being the first into a boozer. The carpets, the upholstery, clothes everything smells of vile stale cigarette stench.

Why don't you keep an old ashtray full of cigarette ends in your lounge.(y)

I lit my first fag aged 11.

By 2nd year, I couldn't go a day without fags.

I smoked more and more until April 1994, when I bought a new (to me) car.

Just decided I was not going to smoke in it.

Plus I had just come back from an overnight multidrop delivery run to Scotland and back. I left Stockport at 0400 with 200 cigs and by 1800 the next day as I was pulling into the yard in Manchester, I was on my last pack.

I did a lot of miles delivery driving and I just got horribly bored. I'd light a fag, smoke it, chuck it away and then a few miles down the road I would think "I'm bored, what can I do now?" and light another.

I haven't had one since.
 
Could run a nice sailing yacht for the cost of what that couple spend or have a month in Barbados every year.

Indeed, when I was trying to pursuade my wife that we couldn't possibly live without a yacht (I didn't mention I'd already put a deposit down on one), I pledged to give up smoking as the cost, albeit a back of a fag packet calculation, would more than cover the mooring fees at the marina in Poole.
Being a devious addict, I switched from buying cigarettes to buying pouches of dodgy rolling tobacco from a lorry driver, the cost saving almost paid for the mooring fees.
Eventually I drifted back to cigarettes because keeping rizzla papers dry at sea or trying to 'roll' a fag in a force 6 was a problem.
 
Smoking on a boat? Lucky you didn’t set fire to it. They are not exactly non-combustible
