Vapes? I don't fancy COPD in 10yrs time.
Its OK the NHS will look after you FOC along with all the other selfish space takers like the obese folk Deranged Rover said:
Genuine question - why?
OK, I'll try my best to answer. Depending on your pleasures; you know when you have that first early morning gulp of your favourite coffee, or the first taste of your favourite beer after a hard days work. 'ahhhh, that's nice, I needed that!'Well, for me, my first early morning cigarette was like that. But 10 fold, at least. Probably considerably more. It was serving the addiction.
It's the same with stress, feeding something your body wants, and you perform deep breathing. Something well known to calm you. A reason I actually think vapes work for me (and are prolonged in getting usage down/off, my mental health hasn't been great for some time)
I also became quite fond of the rather distinctive taste of Marlboro Red. Athough I'd probably find it rank now, not that I'm tempted to try.
Nothing to do with 'image', how I looked (you look rather pathetic hanging out your bedroom for a late night cig, or having one in the rain outside the pub as you're not allowed in)
Hope that gives an insight.

How do you know? Plenty of obese people work. Indeed many are obese because they live the high life off their earnings.
Just because you pay to support a free NHS doesn't mean you should expect preferential treatment for an avoidable disease. If we are to maintain a free NHS, people need to change their lifestyle choices.
And plenty of smokers/ vapers work. I fail to see your point. At one point when I smoked, when cigarettes cost around £8/20 the cigarettes in isolation cost around 20p to buy. The rest was taxation. That was near as damn it 97% tax. I'm not sure what taxation is on all sorts of junk food, but it sure as hell won't be 97%. I never mentioned preferential treatment, but I would expect equal.Just because you pay to support a free NHS doesn't mean you should expect preferential treatment for an avoidable disease.

Seats were uncomfortable, brakes were poor, it was sluggish, the headlights were crap, visibility out the back was woeful, the engine was noisy, the interior plastics were pants, the boot was small for an estate and it was rubbish on fuel despite being a 2.0 diesel.
It had done 60k when I got it so it wasn’t exactly old and it was a good spec (SRi).
It’s difficult to explain exactly why it was so bad because it shouldn’t have been but it wasn’t even ‘ok’ at anything.
I would have considered myself a Vauxhall guy before but short of one stop-gap, family owned, emergency Corsa, I’ve never been back.
Hmmmm, most of what you say doesn't resonate, so to provide my thoughts. It had done 60k when I got it so it wasn’t exactly old and it was a good spec (SRi).

Seats, ours could be better, there are comfier out there, but never provide any aches, unlike some cars I've had.
Brakes, no issues. i couldn't believe how quick it stopped one time I needed to do an emergency stop.
Visibility out the back is pretty crap. Agreed. Massive C pillars.
Ours is the whisper 168bhp. It's quiet, quick enough (295lb torque) and can achieve 60mpg on a run.
Xenons and DRLs with ours. No issues there.
Interior plastics I have zero issues with, and not a squeak or rattle with 108K.
Agreed the boot ain't brill. High floor, and tunnel shaped roof line.

Absolutely, because you don't believe in littering then these disposible vape sticks are so much better for the environment - you have fully deserved your seat upon your shining white stallion... 
Oh behave. I simply stated I don't litter. Occasional disposable ones used get put in battery recycling when exhausted. anonymous said:

Yep. Just returned from a trip out with Mum. Even though I was doing 70 in a NSL some tool was so close behind me I couldn't see his lights or numberplate. Audi A4 about the same age as ours. Quite handy that I needed to thoroughly clean my windscreen, drenching him too. This resulted in a middle finger in my rear view and a death stare at the next lights, prick.carlo996 said:
Regardless. Smoking/vaping subjects others, to a greater or lesser degree, to the byproduct of your ‘favourite things’. It’s not one of my ‘favourite things’ to inhale your second hand smoke. So if you wanted to define who, and what, is a ‘prick’ ….I’d look a little closer to your selfish home.
As said Vauxhalls do they job.
By implication you're suggesting I show no consideration inflicting my smoke/vape on others, which ain't the case. I have a clear conscience, thanks. As said Vauxhalls do they job.
