As Sean, ex-smoker (gave up when my wife got pregnant) and now I'm diving, wouldn't start again anyway.

<font color='#0000FF'>I have voted as non smoker,  which is true except for a very brief dabble about 25 years ago when still at school.  My Mother soon put a stop to it and I am very glad she did.     Now instead of all those fivers going up in smoke I go on dive holidays, I couldn't bo both

ex smoker. But...In my old dive club there was a theory which went &quot;alcohol prepares you for the effects of narcosis, whilst smoking gets you used to managing on less oxygen. Therefore divers should do both as often as possible.&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp;Mind you, judging from the average physique they also believed &quot;lots of blubber protects you from the cold&quot;.

ex smoker - 1 year 10 months and still struggling.

[Mark Chase]

Part time smoker. &nbsp;

Not in the house
Not in front of the kids
Not in front of the wife

Keeps me on about 30 a week. Quit for two years once then a very bad day got me on them again.

I enjoy them thats the problem.
