How are you doing trying to quit ?
I'm not trying yet, Bez, til I move into the new place on November 1st. I have my patches but haven't used them yet...and I've only got as far as page 4 in the book. But then, even the no smoking nurse at the surgery didn't think it was a good idea to try giving up whilst moving (and of course, I jumped on that, didn't I?). Why don't we set a date? What about November 5th?

I was walking past an Evening Standard billboard and the headline appeard to say that Westminster council are banning smoking on the streets of the city.
Have they the power or are my eyes giving up completely?

I agree. I am a smoker and I have smoked threw my whole pregnancy. I do regret it but I swear to you all and I make this my promice to you all and to my unborn child that I am quitting smoking as of now.
I always wanted to have my first child at a young age so that I could be active still like my mom was with my sister and I. Now that I amoke I feel I will not be able to keep up because of the fact that I smoke. I am going to quit so that I do not put my baby at anymore harm and so that I can still be a young active mother who plays with my child when he gets a little bit older.

Yeah my mother used to smoke when we were young. Then she went to the Schick Center and they made her quit.
My sister, brother and I used to cough and roll down the windows in the car while she was driving....and get really dramatic about it.
So now as I am an adult, in the past when she'd seen me smoking, she says things about how much we hated her smoking when we were kids. And that she cannot believe that now I am smoking.
I don't like people smoking in my car though. And I am actually trying to quit. I am cutting back a lot. It's very hard, when I am around a lot of smokers where I live.
boy I cannot wait for the day when I finally get my own place again and move. I will hybernate.

An interesting observation from my nine years working in mental health...groups of us would have to attend various courses and training days and when the coffee breaks took place us smokers would have to go outside the grounds of the Health Authority building to smoke. We were all in the role of supporting people who were experiencing mental distress and naturally had to use our skills of empathy and understanding...so we weren't a bad bunch of people. Yet always a half or two thirds of the group would be smokers.
I'm pointing this out because with all the bad press about some smokers being selfish and inconsiderate, others can also be very caring and compassionate people. And I've noticed this trend in some other "caring" professions too, although I can't work out why so many should be smokers.

Stress? The "caring" professions are not easy ones to follow.

On Dec 1 of this year Nova Scotia is imposing a complete ban on smoking in public. We already have a ban on smoking in restaurants. This next ban will include bars and any other public place.I am a non smoker and I agree with this ban. I think they should also charge any parent that's smokes in a car with there children with child abuse.

How bout we arrest every parent of an over weight child if they take them to Mcdonalds also. :-5
We could also arrest Any parent of an illiterate child if they allow the child to miss school for no good reason.

Exposure to high doses of nicotine, such as those found in some insecticide sprays, can be extremely toxic as well, causing vomiting, tremors, convulsions, and death19. In fact, one drop of pure nicotine can kill a person. Nicotine poisoning has been reported from accidental ingestion of insecticides by adults and ingestion of tobacco products by children and pets. Death usually results in a few minutes from respiratory failure caused by paralysis.

Yeah, but everything is a poison if taken to excess. Water can kill you if you drink too much of it.
