I admitted this in response to Karan's post.  The fact is that I smoke (am a chain smoker). 

 

Yes, I understand - better than the non-smokers - that it's injurious

Yes Karan, I sincerely understand.  But honestly (again), I love to smoke so much that I haven't ever sincerely tried giving up.  But I do take care not to offend family members & others.

 

Anyway, will surely try quitting it sometime. It's a very old pending demand of my family members

Ohhh... I missed good discussion here.....   bit busy these days at home..... but its fun reading all the posts of you guys..... I also dont smoke! But what about Cell phones???? I admit I use to talk while driving..... and infact my work starts with driving..... specially when I am driving alone to office/residence. Though these days I am trying to avoid this habit... but this really is my bad habit!

Well, well… one good habit I can boast of  I never talk on mobile while driving.

 

As a matter of habit, while driving my family member answers the calls received (I call back later).  In case there is anything important, I park the car on the road-side, finish the talking & only thereafter resume the driving. 

 

While I’m driving alone, I just don’t answer to the calls (call back later).  I, of course, check the caller’s name – if it’s from my family member OR if it appears to be important, I park & call back.

 

I follow this very religiously – though at times it’s quite painful (especially while driving alone).

put it this way........u aint smoking..."its" smoking u !!!....    

Nicotene is in control of u Pankaj !!

U R ADDICTED !!!...accept it !...

sorry for soundin soo rude...bt buddy i kno u for a long time now..... i think dis post is goin a bit personal.... bt y not....     

n yes...i'll b very happy if u prove me Wrong in my above statement!!!!

d argument abt "offending" or takin care of family members is a nevr ending topic.....we'll need a  new thread for that...since we mite go totally off-topic,and way too  "educative"...

 

till then...  Boss ur pending demands r increasing !!....add one more person in ur "Cigarette Choro" list !!
