I hesitated to write about this since Berkeley has a certain reputation, that being a liberal spot, perhaps the most liberal spot in the entire country. Berkeley has decided that it is going to everything in its power as a city to stop people from smoking. Now the city can’t actually make it illegal, but [...]
If you’ve ever been a smoker and tried to give up, then most will know that other people can’t make you quit. Endless nagging from a partner, is unlikely to achieve the desired result. Disapproval from friends and family will normally just make the smoker miserable but carry on smoking. Those who do try [...]
Get away from cigarette or me? That question is always running through my head since the last lunch time I did with my wife. I smoke a lot during my life and I though it will we very difficult to get out of my way and start a new life without cigarette. It must be [...]
Cigarette is not atractive for human only, a cat keep to hold the cigarette when the owner try to ask it. At glamce it seems so funy and amusing to see the video. But when think more deepert. It won’t be entertain anymore. As we know smooking is harmul for healthy, especially for the body. [...]
I was sad to read about the recent death of Richard Briers the other week. For some of us of a certain age he represents one of the national treasures of Birtish TV. However the end of his 79 year old life came it is suggested because of his smoking habit. He certainly was [...]
I remember when I smoked that the one day I would never have given up was No Smoking Day. The idea that I would be dictated to by a load of do-gooders who had no idea about smoking always used to wind me up. It’s like having someone tell you ’do you know the damage [...]
With prices rising and wage increases remaining static for many, people are looking for ways to reduce there monthly outgoings.

One of the many reasons I used to enjoy smoking was the social element to it. I used to work in lots of different places, moving from place to place it was quite hard to make friends because of this. One of the gereat ice breakers was smoking, standing outside having a smoke was a [...]
Choosing the right foods, maintaining a good diet by eating healthy foods, and a living a healthy lifestyle is what most people are into right now. This choice in lifestyle is also very much reflected in their restaurant choices. Not only do most people prefer to eat in a restaurant that offers a menu of [...]
I recently sat down with my wife, after I lost my job and had a serious look at my budget. It was pretty incredible and damning to see that I was spending 5% of my paychecks on tobacoo. I was paying a company to kill me more quickly, while stealing money in essence from my [...]
It’s one of the most interesting juxtapositions in the world right now. In the United States we are ending tobacco, maybe only $1 per pack now, but taxes and fees on cigarettes and other tobacco are going to go so high, that eventually no one is going to smoke regularly any more. They wouldn’t be [...]
An Indian man once said to me: “The mind is a mad monkey”. What he was trying to illustrate is that we have less control over our thoughts, emotions and actions than we think. One of the mistakes of enlightenment philosophers was to place too much emphasis on the rational mind. It was elevated to [...]
I quit smoking ten years ago. It was the best decision I ever made in my life. I haven’t felt so awful as I did the day after I quit but I’ve never felt better sense. I desperately wanted to live free of thoughts of tobacco, and that had proved fairly easy to do until [...]
I recently gave up smoking after being a heavy smoker for more than 20 years. What made me give up was that fact that I couldn’t smoke anywhere in public any more. In my country (the UK) smokers now have to stand outside in the cold if they want a fag. It takes the fun [...]
I was dining in a new restaurant one day and I found many delivery men hurriedly leaving the place carrying with them food. I presumed that those were orders from customers who phoned the restaurant. The funny thing is I did not hear any phone ring at all. Before I left the place, I asked [...]
