i'm amazed at how few people have a proper breakfast. if i have to be somewhere, i make sure i get out early enough to have a good breakfast. just wouldn't be the same without it.

I am a bit suprised at how many people smoke and have a gasper when they have breakfast.

I never started smoking, I didn't like it when I tried it. A lot of my later life was servicing medical equipment especially respiratory/ oxygen related stuff. I saw many many people dying or spending their life connected to oxygen equipment because their lungs were affected due to their smoking. It was a very sobering sight and there were so many of them. We had about 2000 oxygen concentrators (machines that manufacture up to 97% oxygen from ambient room air using a molecular sieve, known as pressure swing adsorbtion) These machines are only issued to people who need oxygen therapy for 15 hours per day or greater so these were only the chronic ones. The population of Tasmania is only 450,000.

When you see the quality of life of these people you really wonder if they would have smoked had they know the dreadful effects it would have on their lives.

Grumble until 5 months ago I would have had the smoke with them but after 30+ years I finale gave them up. So far so good.

I was also going to make a point on the impressive number of smokers, but grumbleguts beat me to it. It's not the first time we've thought the same, maybe it's true what they say about great minds... Not that smoking really bothers me. I could never do it, especially for breakfast.
Ah yes, breakfast. Idealy? A fresh bagel with lots and lots of Philly cream cheese (although, speaking as a native of the Philly area, I have no idea why it's special...). Realistically, well...I lived off of lucky charms in my dorm room when I ran out of cash. So whatever overly-sweetened and childish cereal you have availabe is great.

Good for you, Scarecrow on quitting smoking. After more than 30 years of smoking, I quit almost five years ago now.

Okay, we'll make that a double order of pancakes then.

I quit smoking over 30yrs ago.I used to smoke over 2pks of Camels a day.Thinking back;I started because it was the thing that 'Cool"guys did.I remember;at 14/15;my buddy said to me-"You're not inhaling!"I did;to be cool;and it felt like someone took
a blowtorch to my throat&lungs.Like drinking;I tried cutting down.
1/2 week later;I'd be back to the same amount.I found that;for
me;it's either "All or nothing at all.Quitting smoking and drinking;
are some of my best accomplishments.If anyone wants me to quit
sex;they might as well;give up.At least I'll die happy! Irish

Hi Lil

If you are making breakfast I don't care what it is as long as you serve it naked except for a frilly white apron

well.. if you can find me a good man... I will place my order immediately... LOL.. if not.. I am going back to bed.

*Just a note to the folks who are shocked of how many people smoke*

It never fails to amaze me how people who have never smoked can spout statistics as if smokers are all morons or that smoking has somehow taken all the common sense from us. This is not directed to anyone in particular, but I get so fed up at times when I hear or see the facts spelled out as if "we" have never heard them and need a good lesson.

Speaking for myself now, I am a smoker. I hate that I smoke and I have tried to quit so many times that it is embarrassing. I have quit quitting for the time being because I abhor failing at something so many times and it seems I am great at NOT quitting. Just a little joke there to lighten things up! LOL!

I know the stats........I know people who have had cancer and I have seen the lengthy and horrible death process from cancer. Nicotine and all the other additives in cigs are HIGHLY addictive. I DO NOT advocate smoking in any way, shape or form. I know drug addicts that have quit their drug of choice and could not kick the smoking addiction. I want to make it clear here (and sorry Lil for using this thread to do it but.....) SMOKING IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND A MAJOR ADDICTION! If it were just a bad habit I would have kicked it years ago! I am good at a lot of things but quitting smoking is the one thing I cannot conquer to date. For everyone who has the urge........preach to the people that need it the most. The young up and comings who have little or no knowledge of the side effects and potential to addiction. In a strange way I think most people that have the urge to "spell it out" for us truly think that their words will be the magical ones to spare us the horror. I know all the speaches, I have seen the outcome, I am not a stupid person (weak, apparently, but not stupid), and I have heard it ALL adnauseam. I am the happiest person on this planet to know that some of you have NEVER started.....I wish I hadn't but I did. I wish I could quit but to date I can't! Spare me.......please!!!!! I could have done something worse..........and starting a serial killing career! TY for your time...and again....Sorry Lil! I will try to get off my soap box now.
