Smoking/smokers

[bulldogeagle]

lard buckets who get out of breath climbing the stairs to go to bed while munching on a giant pizza and swigging a litre of Cola

that is a good description to what NR refers to as a "Chav", NOT a prepper!

Thats the point..."if you really want to". I dont want to, I enjoy it

There was a similar thread on LSG a week or so ago where a chap said (i'm paraphrasing here) that it was pretty stupid to be a prepper and still smoke. You could apply that reasoning to hundreds of things

You could say it's stupid to be a prepper and be overweight, underweight, not eat enough fruit and veg, drink alcohol, join the military or police, go sailing, rock climbing, drive without a seatbelt, cross the road etc, anything that is not good for your health.

The anti-smoking brigade get on my tits frankly. They are perfectly entitled to their views but stop ramming it down the throats of others.....especially when no doubt some of them are lard buckets who get out of breath climbing the stairs to go to bed while munching on a giant pizza and swigging a litre of Cola

And reformed smokers are by far the worst, I know....I'm married to one. I keep telling her if i wanted to give up I would...I dont so I wont

I am with you on the anti smokers.I have NEVER smoked.My Mother did-heavily.So I HAVE been a passive smoker.Perhaps that is where my late-onset -asthma came from ?
But I am not anti smoking.It's about personal choice.
my Mother did not like drinking-I do.Red wine and too much of it sometimes! I am fit(200 plus miles on me bike every week!)It's my choice!

I liked smoking - I watched a couple of friends and my mother die of lung cancer and it didn't stop me. What finally did it (8 yrs ago) was the cost. I got in a financial disaster and the smoking simply had to go. Boy, I was gutted, but there was nothing to be done. I thought I needed a bit of help, so I bought some of those inhaler thingies. They were pretty good cos it's something to do with your hands! If anyone is thinking about stopping smoking I can recommend those.

The only serious prepper I known of, and by serious I mean land, years of food supply, solar, fuel - the works, smokes cigarilos and doobies socially. I believe he is on here somewhere.

Personally, I am a clean slate. I keep genial habits and posses a robust constitution; and would not fall into such a mire.

£1820 a year buys a shed load of preps. probably 6 months of every day food.[/quote]

That's approximatley my annual food bill and I eat well - i.e. a lot of organic and the more expensive healthy foods. OK so I live on my own, but if you cook, freeze, and don't waste anything £2K should go a long long way. As for bulk prep foods, I reckon £2K could get you a couple of years supply.

Food for thought hey smokers )
