Klopp, Pep and Tuchel having a fit at the assistant ref after every foul and incident that goes against them! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being judgy as I used to smoke, but you realize pretty early on that it makes you feel like shit and with vaping widely available now why not do that? It doesn't smell like crap and you don't have to leave the building (I imagine although I don't actually know.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also challenge on the "doesn't smell like crap" bit as I can't stand it, giant cloud of chemicals and usually very saccharine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I used to smoke, it was absolutely fantastic. I loved smoking. I gave up in April 2002 and always vowed to restart when I was 80. That said the games gone, it's all about money now. I am comparatively well paid and I don't think I could afford to smoke in the same volume I used to.

villa4europe Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It's the ultimate thing I don't get... Drugs, drink, other addictions like gambling etc I can understand to various extents but smoking? What does it do beyond fill in the craving for a cigarette which I don't have because I never properly smoked, you gave yourself that craving There's no drink alcohol to get drunk type payoff with a cigarette that I can see, have this argument a lot with my missus who wants to smoke but hates drinking whereas I like a binge drink and detest smoking, I don't drink 2 cans of beer a night for the same reason, I know its unhealthy and 2 cans won't get me drunk so why bother, that's how I feel about cigarettes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoking makes you 80% more attractive to women. That's science. Also it fills no gap other than the craving. The craving is a nag, and after it's filled there is a satiated feeling. Remember though, 80 percent. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemicals bought off the Internet in a totally unregulated marketplace.

I detest smoking and binge drinking. But I love moderate drinking. Two drinks a night is absolutely perfect. Why? Because I like the taste, and I like the lightly relaxing effect, without getting stupidly pissed and incurring a dreadful hangover. It wouldn't be cans - canned beer is invariably nasty - but draught or bottled ale, nice wine or (occasionally) a decent whisky, rum or cognac. Wine also enhances food (and vice versa). Quality not quantity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I don't, if I'm not getting drunk then what's the point of drinking? I drink almost exclusively in an attempt to get drunk The father in law has a schnapps after every meal as a "pudding" I don't get it and can't do it I'll poison myself with coca cola instead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality not quantity. I can’t do moderate drinking. I just end up getting tired, whereas it’s fine if I have a proper session. Net result is I drink about five times a year these days. Can’t say I miss it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
