I do not disagree with you!

The point that I am trying to make is that the original poster asked a question! With the camera Nazis around - how can you prove otherwise?

In 2009 I was reported to the council by a customer for smoking in my car, I then noticed a council van following me about wherever I went so I made sure i didn't light a fag up in the car,a few days later I got a letter from the council telling me that on the 26th of may I had been seen smoking in my car in a car park and I knew is was rubbish as that date was one of the days that van was following me so i hadn't smoked in the car on that day. then got a letter to say that I would be going to court but never got a date and never heard from them since.

If cameras are used it'll show it's not a real smoke

Tried them didn't like them, they were like sucking 3 MacDonalds Milkshakes at the same time. I went back onto the normal ciggies after 3 days, I smoke 15-20 a day and still run 16 miles 3 times a week, I play five a side twice a week, I go to the gym 5 times a week, I've got a resting heart rate of 31 BPM, I take the peak flow test right to the end of the tube.

Who said smoking was bad for you? As long as you do something and not sit on your backside all day a little bit of badness doesn't hurt you.

I've been smoking for the best part of 36 years non stop barring a few failed attempts on the Ecig. Your still inhaling the nicotene whit the Ecigs hence when you stop you go back to smoking again.

i doubt you can be converted but from the little i know you need a tank system and find the right liquid and you do get a good toke,admitidly not as good as a fag but better than anything else.

try again you may be surprised.

I'm not an expert in these matters but isn't 31 a bit on the low side? Absolute Bradycardia is defined as a heart rate of below 40 BPM. I would get that looked at soon.

Yeah you can't win sometimes with the medical experts, high resting heart rate could lead to a stroke, low resting heart rate they also tell you it's not good for you. It's something to do with a drug they give you if you ever have an heart attack, your heart beat has to be 50+ BPM.

There was a free diver on the TV a few weeks ago who's resting heart rate was 15BPM.
