  1. The thing is who gets to dictate what is offensive? We are now living in an age where not using the correct pronouns about someone who wants to be called Ze is considered offensive because we're living in the age of the special snowflake. The article I put up was just an example but while it might have been a bit dickish, he was clearly not making light of the holocaust. The joke (and it was a joke) was at the expense of his girlfriend who was totally mortified. Personally I found it hilarious. Funny that leftist Frankie Boyle gets away with Madeleine McCann jokes on TV yet other peopl
  2. This sort of thing is rarely about the individual it's about the virtue signalling media and politicians (and all the other morons) that are using the 'correct' pronoun to show how progressive they are. In my opinion it's no different to the gay marriage law, it wasn't about making things better for gay people it was about ramming 'progressive' values (i.e. absence of values) down the throat of social conservative people they disapprove of and reinforcing their believe that there is something wrong with them.
  3. One thing I've noticed in the last couple of years is that if I drink I get a really bad nights sleep and keep waking up all the time. We're also not drinking at the moment, since the missus quit her job we're down to living on my wage so it just seems like a massive waste of money. Between that and the cigarettes I dread to imagine what we used to spend every year.
  4. Its a drug that blocks the neuroreceptors in the brain (the part of the brain that receives the drugs) so that you get no effect from the nicotine whatsoever. It does work, you suddenly have zero desire to smoke even after drinking plenty of beer. Sounds wonderful except for many people the side effects are really bad, the very minimum you will probably get really bad nausea after taking the pill.
  5. I could not disagree more Laws can change and then you are screwed, people get arrested for saying words on Twitter and facebook these days http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/09/nazi-pug-man-arrested-after-teaching-girlfriends-dog-to-perform/
  6. The big problem with NRT I was never a big smoker in the morning because I'm asthmatic, the wife is opposite she would smoke first thing but I had to have my nicotine eventually so I would gently smoke a fag with a cup of tea and often with a ventolin chaser lol. The problem I have with NRT (and even with snus to a degree) is the time it takes from delivery to the blood....here's a handy chart to short the difference. Putting a patch on in the morning for me was pointless it was too long a wait for the nicotine, a cigarette is the best but most poisonous delivery system but Snus and
  7. 100% Proof is in the pudding.....and I'm f**king hungry
  8. One of Jamie Bulger murderers had a bungalow here. I cannot remember correctly, so I am not speculating but the bungalow was empty pretty sharpish after the news got out. TC Some people here say he was located on the Island for a while. Wouldn't surprise me at all. That second name is a funny and very very rare one ....if you shared it imagine waking up one day and seeing you surname splashed all over the news lol
  9. Never heard of the tablets, the problem with the prescription stuff is they're more expensive that smoking. Regarding Champix, I took it for 3 months. I was severely ill for days but because of my retarded dentist giving me a cancer scare a year ago I was adamant I wanted to stop and carried on. I would get waves of nausea within minutes (even seconds) of taking the pill but I could handle that. The worse thing was that they made me have absolutely no feelings for other people, I seriously could have watched someone get killed right in front of me and I would not have given one shit, t
  10. Never heard of nicotine capsules but be WARNED about champix. Some people are fine on it, other people get severe nausea and some get very bad mental problems which range all the way up to suicide. That's a hell of a gamble to take when you could use e-cigs and still be alive compared to topping yourself.
  11. If you don't drink much and aren't a hardcore smoker then patches might be ok but the problem is the government sell patches and gum as a method of cessation (quitting) i.e. you should cut down and eventually go cold turkey. Cold turkey is not much different regardless of what level you are on whether it be 21, 14 or 7 mg of nicotine, I always felt slightly withdrawn when doing it that way and it prolonged the agony.....might as well go full on cold turkey instead. I've done cold turkey many times but always start again. The argument of my posts is that unless you are one of those people w
  12. Yep that is a nasty disgusting habit lol I'll try most things once but I was never tempted when he offered me a pinch out of his tin. Funny as feck seeing him take a swig out of his spit bottle when reaching for a drink though :laugh: I wouldn't try snus once though, it's pretty unpleasant for a good few days. They're very Salty at first, burn a bit and can have a strong tobacco flavour that is hard to get used to lol Like cigarettes eventually you will probably get to love the taste and smell because of the addiction but the first time you open a can and sniff it you will
  13. In short, some people can't give up or struggle to stay quit....like me Every time I failed I was back on the fags because I knew no alternative but e-cigs and snus etc seem like a good way of reducing harm and while using a non dangerous form of tobacco/nicotine we can still think about giving up totally eventually. Seems like a win win
  14. Where our government and the EU has it wrong, they want to kill tobacco companies, they could instead turn them in to nicotine companies no different to coffee companies Swedish lung and oral cancer rates lowest due to snus
  15. Yep that is a nasty disgusting habit lol
  16. That Melon wasn't particularly nice with an old Speckled Hen, I dont think many of them go with ales, the vanilla (which is a dry one so takes longer to wet and develop a taste) is fairly pleasant even though I'm not a fan of vanilla flavour. However these two extreme ones have such strong nicotine I've no inkling of having a fag whatsoever. An article on harm reduction, this will apply to the vapors as well. http://www.clivebates.com/?p=2461
  17. Just to be clear, it's a million miles away from chew, I wouldn't go near that stuff, I don't want to be gobbing brown stuff everywhere. These are very discrete, you swallow any liquid which is not much. Sad thing is like they tried to do with e-cigs....this is banned for sale in the EU for no reason whatsoever.
  18. American chewing tobacco is nasty, cheap, full of sugar and disgusting. I worked with a guy that chewed and he was always spitting in to a cup he had in his coveralls lol The Los (loose) snus I haven't tried, I imagine you would get more 'drip' which is brown liquid on your teeth but I don't think you get much if any staining. The portions (bags) I have used don't drip even the very wet and strong one I just got rid of, so far no staining, if you spit it's a bit brown but no different to after drinking coffee tbh This is much different to chewing tobacco, they're bags of pasteuri
  19. You should thank him, we don't want any more dross from the cities coming down here
  20. You might not want to know but our lovely English city councils send or used to send their peados, murderers, freaks and no hopers to wales and other rural places.
  21. Normally if I drink I end up chain smoking so this is a good test
  22. Having a few beers tonight Alcohol and nicotine (and also nicotine and caffeine) together help metabolize each other, it means that smokers can drink more coffee than non smokers and drinkers end up chain smoking the more they drink. So after trying a few normal strength snus's and still wanting a fag I cracked open the extreme (Very strong) and extra stark (very strong) ones, also flavours I've not tried much. Not good in the morning lol. The Extreme melon original is very wet (green can) instant taste and nicotine hits strong very soon, you can tell it's wet from the colour. The
  23. P.S as I've said since last year, if Trump proves to be what he says he is then there is far more likelihood we will get everything we want. P.P.S Marine Le Pen spotted in Trump Tower a couple of days ago....an interesting turn of events.
  24. She won't have much of a choice when the Supreme Court tell her she has to. If however it is a close split as being speculated then it'll add political weight to supporting the governments Brexit proposal. Once the two year negotiating period is up, that's it. No extensions, no re-negotiating, no going back. I can't see that parliament will have any other option but to accept it ! I watched her speech.....Good news from beginning to end. She will have to negotiate with groups within members of parliament not to mention Sturgeon's mental case block, I don't believe she's being
