Perhaps this will be enough encouragement for some.

Gave up 10 years ago - still have the odd cigar, about once a year but that's about it.

I could easily start up again though - I find the craving never seems to go away.....

And that's funny how?

I don't think it's meant to be funny - I think it's meant to carry a point.

 

I gave up this year - been 7 months now. Don't think about them at all now, long may it continue :-)

Sorry if I caused offence. I really did not mean to. I just posted it in the thread in this forum because it seemed the most appropriate. I honestly did not intend it to be interpreted as 'humorous' As a smoker who intends to quit shortly I thought it made the point that I should be quitting quite succinctly.

 

I will try to ensure that future posts are not open to the same misinterpretation.

 

I again offer my apologies for any offence I may have caused.

Then the post is in the wrong forum, this is mean for jokes, funny things and various other related content.

 

I had a close friend die of Cancer, and irregardless of smoking, or any other form; Cancer is not a joke in the slightest.

 

DaveP: No need to apologise, you do as you wish, I just took offence to it, but thats fine, we don't all agree on everything :) Just, there may be people concious about cancer, or know someone thats passed away due to cancer

This forum is entitled Jokes & Interweb things - surely that image can be classed as an interweb thing.

 

I understand a lot of cancer cases have nothing to do with smoking - I've got family with the illness. But I also understand that a lot of cases are directly related to smoking, and I've also got family who's cancer is caused by this. I wish I could get them to give up smoking, but that's not going to happen.

 

I think the original post was not meant to make anybody laugh - it's meant to carry a certain level of truth. "If you smoke, you have a great risk of getting cancer".

 

The message is simple, don't read into it any more than that :)
