Try it with scorpions inside - or 2" African ants, or large maggots, or detoxified snake venom - all apparently available at Fortnum and Masons.

Yes....... I`ll just have to find someone who`s passing F & M then!!

Listen - non-smokers just don't behave like that, Sean! Non-smokers don't even think about smoking. They just can't stand the smell - it's filthy and vile.

If you have a ciggy with your brew, don't have tea, have coffee instead, stop the habit which leads to a ciggy.

I have convinced myself that chocolate gives me a headache, so now it does.

Good Luck Sean, I've never been there but told John I wasn't interested in anyone who smoked. The next time I saw him he had quit and had driven 500 long miles across West Africa to see him - I couldn't really tell him to go home could I?

We are all with you and rooting for you, find other activities change your position at the laptop whatever.

The hard part is that my wife smokes so I am not free of the smells or the sights of smoking. We have tried to stop together but she starts convincing herself that it is too hard, then I crumble too. I cant help my wife through it if I am at a low point so I am stopping first. Next we will get Ann off the weed. I think I am suffering because there is still smoke in the house

hi Sean haven't met you before...

...which is obvious as I don't think I'm male and I can resist chocolate.

Wouldn't say no to a chocolate fountain (they are quite yummy) but would be quite capable of doing so.

Personally I find beer (real ale) much harder to give up.

Hope the smoking thing's going ok.

My dad stopped in the 70s and left half a packet in his raincoat pocket which me and my mother found when we moved house in 1988! He said it was easy, but then his father had just died of lung cancer.
