Pub laugh.

Trigger doesn't like the smoking ban. (I' m not keen myself). He can't get over the fact that I had a hypnotist help me to stop. No one can do that. Did she wave the coin thing in front of your eyes? "You are under my spell".
I treated all his comments with my usual decorum, until an hour later. "I'm nipping out for a fag, you coming Ironsides?"

"No, thanks, I don't smoke Trigger.!

Aaah, those words!

"You mean you ACTUALLY did that hypnothera..thingy? And it worked?"

"Yes, Trigger, it worked. Just as I'd finished laughing at Trigger a bloke I'd rang earlier came in and gave me £90.00. Nice.

Trigger wanted to know why I was smiling, as I'd just sold my last 600 cigs for £30 a sleeve, and the buyer would sell them for more.

"Trigger, I only paid £15 a sleeve. Cheers!"

45 quid profit? Drinks all round? Mine's a red wine please. I'm on my way.
Seriously though, I'm raising a glass to your success.

Wheeler dealer, I never made a profit out of my left over cigs...I smoked them all before going to the hypnowhatsit! Well done John!

Jon m, I got the timing to perfection. An hour before we left . I had the last one in the packet!

John if you are really Ironsides there has to be a phone call for you - where ever you are. I watched the programme!

Wish I'd thought of a hypnowhatsit when I quit in April. I did it the old fashioned way, cold bloody turkey. Gah!! Still not smoking, though. Yay!!

Glad it's working for you. If it's this easy for you now, it'll be a cinch after few months time.

HC, it's a doddle!

Pat, the shit I get in this pub.....

Babs, well done girl! The hard way, I'm proud of you!!

This sounds the way to do it. By the way I'm rather partial to a glass of bubbly if you're buying!!

Non smoker making a tidy profit...good for you!

When my mum quit, she used the patch - and it was much harder than what you seem to be experiencing. Well done! And good thinking to use the old cigarettes to reward your new-found virtue. Make mine a sangria - it IS summer, after all!

A vitual round to you all! Apart from Keith, who will cost me a fortune as usual!
