The Health Bill received Royal Assent in July 2006. This Bill, becomes law on 1st July 2007, and will ban smoking in workplaces and enclosed public places (such as shops, pubs etc).
to me this is good news, Ive given up the ciggies since the 3rd of Feb! and I'm very proud of myself, as Ive usually gone back on them etc, but this time it feels right to stop! Ive given up for 3 years before, went back to a pub after giving up for 3 years and i pinched someones cigarette(thinking it wouldnt hurt) it started me on the addictive slope again.
so meaning that you CAN not smoke in public places or pubs is excellent! NO one can smoke which means people who are trying to give up do not smell the smoke fumes can not be tempted to have a cigarette, and also if you did want one you would have to stand out side (not nice) and everyone will be in the same possession, i no a few will break the rule!
plus it helps me that my friend who also smokes is giving up (its a bit difficult when all your friends smoke which they do that you hand out with) she persuaded me, which is fab as when i go round no smokeing! and we can moan together, we both started at 15! and i tell yyou i was totally anti smokeing before that, i used to have no smokeing sighns that id made all round the house. and i used to make my uncle go out in the garden.
I'm not going to be an x smoker telling those oh don't smoke as i know how horrid and addictive it is.......its the cravings.
all in all its the nicotine, so Ive gone on the patches and their working,
i also found some handy things on the net about smoking, and stress and that it only calms you for 3 minutes or so, also its used as not to gain weight, which is why i didn't want to give up again as fear of ballooning, but I'm eating like i was so thats ok.
i know most of you guys are non smokers! infact Ive never met a tony fan who smokes!! i feel like a rebel!
this site helped me alot

oh yeah also heard their thinking of making mp3 players etc illegal in new york as alot of people are having accidents (pedestrians) due to not paying attention walking across roads lol.
