Consider it a catharsis effect.

I consider it a "Well due" effect since it was really the last thing on the list of "things that can go tits up"

*goes and looks up catharsis*

Well, true

Enjoy your cigarettes

 

[old.Tohtori]

Enjoy your cigarettes

Meaning?

If you mean "you get cancer from ciggies", well, according to msot studies, the percent is around 10% if less, like those odds. One study even has calculated that a 75 year old woman, who has smoked for 55 years, 3 packs a day, only has around 20% chance of getting lung cancer.

I'm not too worried about dying because of smoking.

Meaning I enjoyed lots of cigarettes when that happens to me because there's nothing else around that stops you from getting pissed off and going hyper with chatter - just like your reply Tits up = 20 fags per hour while frantically trying to remember everything you had

Seems OT makes you a bit cynical of peoples replies, too much Gamah

True, smoking is the only thing that kept me from going Rocky on my computer.

Yeah, it's not the programs or such that annoy me, it's all my writings, pictures, photos, etc. Memories and such that can't be brought back.

Also my CV is toast

Did you not have any backups? Suggest getting a spare hard drive in there with everything but windows.

How the fuck can having a smoke stop you going ape shit on your machine?

Fucking addicts same old shit excuses everyday of their existence.

shame about the computer.

You don't have any vice to calm yourself down? Never heard of the double whiskey for dutch courage etc? It's the same thing. Just because you don't have a particular vice, it doesn't mean it aint gonna work for other people. It's not an excuse to smoke, it's just something that smokers do more often in times of stress

At least if you're computer's broke you won't have to read this post

Although the craving probably made them tweak out in the first place

smokes are very calming, always a good thing to have in the bag while playing golf

don't smoke regularly, just when having a beer or playing golf

 

[Calaen]

I tend not to get angry at a machine for breaking, maybe if he spent more time trying to control his life rather than his dreams which he assures us he is good at he would not either

As for the vice thingy, I do not have anything as such, I have a drink now and again with the boys, never smoke, got over my trying out drugs when I was 19.

It is typical though no matter what you say, people with drink/drug issues often use the "it calms me down" speech as an excuse. Its a shit excuse, if people actually told them that instead of nodding their heads like churchill maybe they would start to get the message that it is not okay.

So that 1 in 5 increased chance of lung cancer, which I assume from the way youve expressed it is a favourable study you have found.

Even assuming that you haven't factored in the other cancers, such as stomach, throad and pancreatic.

Cancer is not a way you'd choose to die. For yourself and for those who may be around you when you have it.

1 in 5 odds as a gamble on having or not having lung cancer dont look very good odds to me. Might be ok for putting money on a grand national favourite, but not for this.

1 in 10 non smokers get cancer of some type.

and 62% of statics are made up on the spot.

Indeed, but I was purely discussing it on the basis that toh was. 20% increased chance over non smoking populace for lung cancer (omitting the multitude other cancers that are linked to smoking)

Just out of interest what do you do to calm down?

Pffff, the calming down bit for drugs is rubbish, the reason why they're there is to get wasted!

I do love the way people fond to defend the adiction they have. I am lucky im not adicted to anything really. Orange Coke and Sweets yes

I love the way an adict will find one report from a scientist with a fag hanging out of his mouth saying smoking is fine! Then totally ignore the millions of other reports saying it kills you

But it is your life and yours to fuck up how you like. I for one do not care about smokers now they are not allowed near me at a pub or at football.

Except the moral high ground of course.

Come on down, have some fun!

No im that good i could walk underwarter and not get wet. Its a fact.

Ok ive done the cliched forum thing and google it, its not to win arguments, its because I think people should really not bury their heads in the sand regards this:

Cancer - National Heart Forum

Now people can go out and find statistics to suit them obviously, but I have no reason to believe that the national heart foundation would publish grossely misleading figures. Up to peeps how they take it - smokers i'm sure could go off and find different estimates based on Imperial Tobaco funded research. Its up to them what they do.

Just know, cancer is not a nice way to go, and between dieing at 65 and dieing at 75, i'd have the extra 10 years tyvm.

Thats it for me on this as i'm dragging it OT.

I very rarely get angry, when I do it usually subsides within a couple of breaths.
