Eye opener

I was crusing around the internet and found this information that I thought I would share. This only covers upto a carton and when I think of all the years that have gone by I begin to wonder what I will now be missing due to years of smoking

:eek: once in 11 minutes surely a typo must be twice at least

good post Sparky sums everything up doesn't it, how we use to waste our lives away smoking them horrible things

Hey Thanks Sparky, Thats an interesting post and made me chuckle!

Only wish I could have done all them fun things with the life I've saved but you just tend to carry on as normal dont ya!

Have to question one thing though? - 11 minutes of frantic sexual intercourse? - Is that not rather optimistic???

I am thinking frantic sex then still have plenty of time to read the paper, phone the friend and walk the mutt!! :eek:

You guys/girls are way too funny. I was actually thinking the same thing but figured I was new here and had to make a good impression. The person that wrote it must be making movies I figured this post would generate some comments and a little laughter in the day goes a long way

[nsd_user663_9067]

You're dead right Sparky, how could we possibly quit cigarettes and not have a sense of humour!! You got to laugh just to get through the day!!

You dont need to make any impressions here Sparky just be yourself.......personally i like a bit of random humour and your post must have been written by a dreamer (a man then lol)!

Keep em coming

He probably wasn’t too good with measuring either. I just started a new thread for jokes. Let’s see if the people here are ok with it.

Have a great day

Is this the time lost while stood around in the cold smoking or time lost to life being shortened?

I've got one for you...Imagine if a new super bug threatened to kill 2000 people a year. Imagine the slight panic we would all feel. How can we avoid it happening to us...We'd do our best no doubt.

The stats say 2000/week die from smoking, 2000, the horror.

Fingers crossed we have all escaped in time

[nsd_user663_13779]

Wow........ thats a stat I never heard, fingers crossed is right. I think I will cross my toes as well defrog. Thanks for sharing
