A doctor did tell me that I would die soon if I didn't stop smoking and drinking, but he said "three years."
I didn't stop. I drink and smoke more now than I did then.
That was fifty-seven years ago.

You're reading If you were told , "if you don't stop smoking/drinking/drugs now , then you will die in 5 years time", would that be enough incentive for you to stop?

Well, a healthy one anyway
by Sandman on October 31st, 2009
Say, you said earlier that you're Scots. Right?
by Sandman on November 1st, 2009
You mean Scottish? Yep , I am. :)
by Just-A-Pineapple on November 1st, 2009
I ask only because I'm about 90% Scottish; genetically, that is, though American born.
by Sandman on November 1st, 2009
Thats cool :) Ever took a trip to Scotland to visit before?
by Just-A-Pineapple on November 2nd, 2009
Yes, Pineapple, several times.
All my male ancestors for seven generations have had the good taste or good fortune to marry Scotswomen. I tell those who ask that I'm 90% Scotch and 10% water. lol
by Sandman on November 2nd, 2009
water.. lol
I like that.
It is a nice little country.
I have always wanted to live in America . Maybe we should swap ;-)
by Just-A-Pineapple on November 2nd, 2009
I'd like that.
But in all conscience I can't move 7,000 miles away from my children.
How about the next time I'm in Caledonia, I look you up?
Och! No. I forgot. I can't go back to a country that has banned smoking. It's an unconscionable violation of a basic human right.
by Sandman on November 2nd, 2009
hah!! I smoke and I manage just fine here ;-)
All you do is go outside for a smoke. No big deal really! Infact I quite like going outside in the fresh air for a cigarette.
by Just-A-Pineapple on November 3rd, 2009
OK for you, mate. But for me it is a big deal.
Scotland is off my list of nice places.
by Sandman on November 3rd, 2009
Why is that a big deal though? ;)
by Just-A-Pineapple on November 3rd, 2009
Because there is a world-wide international witch-hunt going on, to hunt down and stamp out all smokers. If I want to have an after-dinner cigarette, I have to stand outside in knee-deep snow, with sleet blowing down my collar, or in 107-degree heat with no shade in sight. All because someone doesn't like the idea that someone else might actually enjoy tobacco.
Once I had supper on the broad open-air veranda of a restaurant, but I had to go out on the tarmac of the car park to have a smoke. A man followed me out and asked me to put out my cigarette. He didn't want his children "polluted." They were upwind from me, and 20 yards away. When finished, I went inside the restaurant, and he still followed, haranguing louder and louder. Finally I said, "Look. I'm not smoking," and he went away.
The assembled waiters cheered and applauded me.
Just one incident.
by Sandman on November 3rd, 2009
LOL quite right that they cheered you ;-)
I really don't like it when people are like that.
Those kids of theirs probably gonna breath in more car fumes than cigarette fumes.. lol
Well I guess with the weather you have it may not be so good.
It's not so bad here.
Only that it rains alot. But Scottish pubs and many restuarants have parts for smokers now outside (With shelter). I guess the yhave had to adapt. Just wait, Sandman. I'm sure you will be hit with it soon too!! I will laugh when that happens ;-) lol
by Just-A-Pineapple on November 3rd, 2009
I just thought the Scots people had more testicular fortitude than to accept tamely such an arbitrary, dictatorial piece of legislation.
Without a murmur.
Freedom is extinct in Caledonia.
If William Wallace were alive today, he would roll over in his grave.
