What have you been doing today?

It's always been the practice for the tobacco industry to recruit new addicts while they are young and ignorant, and want to look grown-up.

They have to, since they kill half their customers, they have to keep recruiting new ones.

People know about the risks of smoking, have done for ages, and people have the choice. The effects of sugar on peoples health are beginning to be made more public , bad diet (not just sugar) kills more people than smoking. Give up smoking to be healthy and a lot of people eat more to compensate, so get fat/obese, out of the frying pan, into the fire. Addiction is a terrible thing.
 
This afternoon I have been sowing some seeds in trays, ready for the poly tunnel over my allotment. Green and purple kale, cabbage, cauliflower, purple sprouting broccoli and courgettes. Onions, garlic and rhubarb already in and growing. Still to come: Brussels sprouts, sweetcorn, spuds (three types), carrots, parsnips, radishes, dwarf and climbing green beans, runner beans, pumpkins, butternut squash, multi-coloured beetroot, leeks, tomatoes (plum and cherry), parsley, coriander, basil, rosemary plus a full salad assortment. I might have to set up camp over there to guard them if things get any worse!

That’s me. Not obesely fat but when I packed up smoking very roughly about 16 years, 5 months, 2 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours and 16 minutes ago I was around the 12st mark. I’m 16st+ nowdays and have been nudging 17st at times!

It's the not having anything to do that gets you. I'd have sparked up, especially when fishing, but now it seems to be non stop grazing.
