    Well done @silu! Its around 15 years since I chucked them (up to 80 a day!), and my only regret is that I started smoking them in the first place as my chest will never be the same.

    I just got up one Sunday morning and decided that I didn't want any more - had 60 sat on the mantlepiece for weeks, as that way it was 'my choice' not to smoke. Before long, I gave them to mother in law, and that was that. To this day, I am still a smoker - just one who hasn't had a cigarette in a very long time.

      I stopped in '79 as I had a Inguinal groin Hernia (first of three!!). The consultant told me that smokers sometimes cough under anaesthetic and the body might lurch which he said may not be a good thing while he is using a scalpel down there.:yikes:
      That was a good enough reason to pack it in!:biggrin:

        I never hear warnings not to cut trees/hedgerows in nesting season - I'm going to email RSPB ...

        A tree was damaged by wind and I'm wondering if it's a lost cause
