Smoking

Definitely agree, and when they push alcohol age up to 21 (as they plan to do) the drug problem is just going to get even worse.

Exactly. I know lots of kids now who buy weed as they can't get booze (And these are 12 year olds etc). So if they are going to stop 18 year olds from drinking then people who are 17-21 will just start doing harder drugs.
I know if they rasied it to 21, i will be more inclined to go and do drugs. I stopped smoking weed, if they are going to take **** and booze off me then i wont be happy :@

if and when they lower the drinking age i doubt many people will obey it. most of the income on alcohol comes from students and so few bars, shops or pubs will be willing to lose their best customers. so itll probably end up overturned making the government look silly.

And yeah it's a poorly thought out law. Like you said, young people bring in lots of money from alcohol, and like myself and Jack said before it'll just make drugs more of an issue. At the moment I drink more than I drug because it's cheaper and I can get hold of both, but if the drinking age goes up then it's obvious where I'm going.

You have to be mentally prepared to quit before you can quick. Patches & stuff like that work, but only if you are determined to quit.

Think of something you would like, e.g. a new phone.

"If I don't buy those cigarettes, that's five pounds towards my new phone" or something. Save up and then cash in on your reward.

Then start smoking again. Or save up for another reward.

Don't buy them, I don't know if it would help.

Will power my freind.

[VPSwow]

I would say dont use any patches or anything.

I managed to stop by will, whenever i wanted to buy some cigs i bought something else so i had to money to but them. It gets easier.

chewing gum? when you need a ciggy do something else to take your mind off it

[Shrlurp]

If you have friends tell them to tell you not to have a cig.
