Pablo Casals, the great cellist declared that a cigar was more jealous than a woman.

I used to smoke some small, but strong, cigars I could buy in Belgium in boxes of 50 for less than the UK price for 20 fags! The only time I bought those kind of huge 'Churchillian' cigars it proved to be a complete waste of money. They tasted just like a never ending mild cig and were totally disappointing. However I started to get my hand rolling tobacco for far less in the UK than even any EU prices so there was no incentive to go across the Channel/North Sea due to the high travel costs.

Then my cardiac surgeon read me the riot act and threatened to cut off all medical assistance if I continued to smoke anything. I stopped cold turkey. In 6 months I plopped on over 2 and a half stone and my overall health plummeted. On the assumption that the obesity would be a greater strain on my system than a bit of tobacco I took up smoking again. Much the same kind of raw tobacco, but I now stuff it into a pipe before lighting it. My previous tobacco consumption ran at 150 - 200 grams per week when hand rolling smokes with filter tips. In the pipe, and not smoking until I've had my main meal of the day (usually between 5:00pm and 7:00pm, but occasionally much later), 250 grams lasts me 5 - 6 weeks!. In that first few weeks I've shaved off 9 lbs (4.5 kilos) and can put my socks on without sitting down again.

Result!

I can't understand why people smoke.

It's not the health consequences, but why smoke it just makes no sense.

Same as fat people. There's is no such disease or condition that causes 99.9 % of fat people to be fat.

I sometimes have breakfast and not eat till breakfast the next day. Not on purpose, I was busy and or I didn't fancy the food on offer, sometimes I just eat half a bag of chips for a snack and that's all.

This allows me to sometimes to eat things like beef Wellington.
But again just a normal size portion.

Actually my problem is the opposite, every time I go below 12 stone the doctor recommends a fry up or its hospital. So every Sunday I have beans black pudding fried bread eggs and bacon. Get yer laughing gear around that lot. I spend an hour eating it washed down with 1/2 pint of tea followed by a glass of pure orange juice and that does it until 8pm which is a Cadburys cream egg and a cup of coffee.

On the Simpsons there was a grossly fat morbidly Mexican kid called Diabeto. I still chuckle over that.

"I can't understand why people smoke.

It's an addiction. I think most people start just out of curiosity; thinking they won't be impressed but they've got to try it. But it only needs a few puffs to become hooked.

I realised this at an early age and never tried it.
