NEVER!!!! disgusting habit

The idea of puffin on dried leaves, filling my lungs with black tar is not appealing and having lungs like this on right.

Then you dear lady, must know some highly undesirable people in the Leeds area. For example Henry Cecil smoked like a chimney, would you class him as brutal when it came to his belief in horsemanship? Ridiculous assumption, but then I have never been to Leeds.

I've never been to Leeds either.

i don't smoke never have done, and probably never will do having seen the effects it has had on my grandparents. However if some one else wants to thats their choice, must admit it makes me wince when i see people smoking on horses, but again its up to them!

And there was me thinking my 20 a day habit would make me an Olympic marathon runner. Wow thanks for pointing out smoking is bad for me. You think they would put warnings on the packets or something??!!
 
Are we now going to have pictures of livers damaged by alcohol too, for those who call in at the pub on a ride, or heaven forfend, carry a hip flask? Mind you I have to say that smoking doesn't impair judgement and balance, aalcohol does. :)

I do like the odd wee puff although only a few a day but I would never smoke on horseback. I would worry she would mess and I would burn one of us and I think it would be very silly of me and irresponsible but thats just my opinion.

Seriously? You have emphysema as per the pics you posted. Don't try to be clever. Be controversial, but don't lie.

I am not lying what is there to lie about???
Want me to spell it more simply for you???

The idea of MY smoking makes ME feel queasy
the idea of MY lungs looking like the picture on the right puts ME off trying to sample it. FULL STOP.

This doesn't quite fit with your other comment "The truth hurts" though, does it?

I'm one of the disgusting. Never had an accident and horse doesn't seems too bothered either way. My favourite thing to say is it during the summer "it keeps the flies away" ;)

The truth hurts refers to that would happen to lungs and some people don't like to hear or see the truth about it. As I said their decision, their choices If it upsets people that much I will remove it.

Maybe I feel strong about the subject because I lost my cousin to Cancer brought on by her smoking.

Whilst I am very sorry to hear this - please can you stop turning the thread into a hysterical rant now please. There is a time and a place for anti-whatever ranting, and that time and place is not on a thread that up until now has just been a bit of banter. Lighten up. Its Saturday evening, and I'm sure i'm not alone in wanting to hang loose a bit.

That's very sad Leviathan :( I too have lost 2 members of my family to lung cancer. But we all make out choices in life don't we. I know smoking is bad for me but I still choose to do it. My OH lost his brother in a motorcycle accident, yet he still chooses to ride his bike. As long as out choices don't hurt others I think live and let live.

Post whatever you like, it's the backpeddeling and odd defence that was irritating me.

My father-in-law died from renal cancer at the age of 62. Non-smoker, non-drinker. My nan died at the age of 93. Lifelong smoker and the occasional tipple - the force was strong in that one. Look, we are all adults and we take calculated risks every time we ride a horse or light a cig. We don't need photos of broken necks or diseased lungs to change our minds.

Babymare, I've just had a curry and am now enjoying a vodka and coke along with a cigarette :)

Very unhealthy evening all round here. I may even have a big slice of cake in a bit :)
