I've often thought it odd how women seem to spend half their lives at the doctors*yet belittle male illness as 'man flu. I think it's some image aversion to being the centre of the frikkin universe.

*Gov stats reveal that women visit the doctors 66% more often than men. This been is pretty much mirrored in absenteeism statistics in the workplace.

Sorry sister but unlike your malingering self I actually have something wrong with me So would you kindly stop projecting your inner guilt onto me in some childish attempt to drag everyone down to your levels of sickness.

I kicked my 40 year smoking habit 18 months ago so I want to know Marvo did you still try to smoke. I know I did, have had terrible chest infections made worse by asthma and still tried to smoke nearly killing myself.

I didn't smoke for the 5 days I was really sick but I'm almost back to full speed with the coffin nails now I'm feeling better.

..... I'd quite like a duvet day, but not on your scale!

Yeah, be careful what you wish for. I wouldn't wish whatever God forsaken virus I had on my worst enemy.

Was a hardened smoker for 40 yrs and on a whim got a vaping kit, lit my last cigarette and said that's it. My girlfriend who never nagged me was shocked as she said my addictiveness would prevent me from quitting and the first two weeks was a bitch but hey ho never touched one since.

I used to hate the fact I was addicted and couldn't give up, I hated it so much that one day back in the 1980's I decided to prove I could break the habit and I quit cold-turkey. I set my goal as 3 years which I figured was more than long enough to prove I'd beaten the habit. 3 years later, almost to the day I started smoking again.

It's the habit of the smoking motion. Most think smoking relieves stress etc... but this is not true it is just a reflex reaction and makes no difference to your situaton once you have had one. What I have found in the UK where smoking is banned in the workplace including vehicles is that I can vape in my work vehicle although strictly speaking in other aspects it is illegal. I work away from home and find I no longer have to venture outside for a puff even though most hotels don't allow vaping but it leaves no odour.
Nowt worse than an ex smoker
