As it happens, so far, it’s Ok.
No particular inclination to light up.
That’ll be over a week…so a bit stupid to wilt now really.

I suffered badly in my childhood with asthma, getting into my teens and it wasn’t so bad. Then again in my 20’s it seemed to get worse so I got appointments to manage it at our local asthma clinic.
The head honcho I had to see was a leading authority on asthma and it’s causes. Smoking, eating and drinking certain things and of course dust and pollen are triggers. I was tested for everything, sometimes I came out feeling worse than I went in.
The one thing that stuck in my memory of all this was the specialist doctor who sat opposite me on the other side of the desk, he was a chain smoker, chuffing away the whole time, I remember the 2 inches of ■■■ ash clinging on to his ciggy during the consultations and him hacking away every other sentence. He lived to ripe of age of 96, and Rob he was a Scot.

Didn’t miss it at all. I’m well acquainted with Rob’s sense of humour! Just making a personal (humorous?) comment on the displayed “Scottish Breakfast” and the benefits of oats in ones diet!

60 a day would cost about £4000 a year these days…
Richard that is £40 a day , £14.600
……
My bad that was 20 a day (cheap ones)
Hi S,
I’ve done similar.
My advice: As soon as you think about smoking, put it out of your mind, so no more counting etc, until 3 or 4 years.
Good luck

Many years ago I was seeing an allergy specialist who smoked like a chimney and had a sign promoting the ASH organisation on one side of his desk and an ashtray full of ciggy butts on the other. 
Kinda confusing, with mixed messages.

My Father used to go through a tin or so of these bad boys a day…but not in surgery I don’t think.
Used to have lots of these discarded tins full of 00 gauge bits etc…no idea where it all went,
