For some.
A guy I've known for years although not a friend as such went to the shop to buy some cigarettes this week. While he was there he decided to buy a scratchcard and won £250,000.

Lucky devil. Hopefully he'll have a few years left in which to enjoy it.
I gave up smoking last July and haven't touched one since. No 'substitutes' either since last September.
There is no way I will ever reach into my pocket for money to burn again.
I gave up scratchcards until I heard this and bought one myself and won.
£2.
I was brought up a Methodist, and even though now a devout Atheist, some things stick. All forms of gambling are a turn-off for me. Uneasy about alcohol too, but the womanising...well...

I'm virtually tee-total too. Can take or leave booze. Can't bear spending money on it these days. Not so bad in the Phils of course.
It'll be 5 years this December since I last had a smoke
I've never been much of a drinker myself but I do like a few when I'm on holiday.
Congratulations Peter.
You're an inspiration for others.
Never smoked, never drank, never gambled, yup boring as ****
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
Praise from me too for those of you have quit as I know how hard it is.
Likewise.
I'm sure my star turns on the Karaoke would just not be the same without that thimbleful of San Mig.
Thanks Graham, you've demonstrated your determination too.Congratulations Peter.
You're an inspiration for others.
It'll be one year soon

Well, I'm the opposite to most of the contributors to this thread, in that, I've never really acquired a liking for alcohol... except for [sweet] cider (which is more my "
") because it of its similarity in taste to soft drinks - which I very much prefer - but, at the ripe old age of three-score years and ten, I continue to derive great satisfaction from pipesmoking (at one time referred to as the 'thinking man's companion') which I've happily indulged in since my late teens without any noticeable ill effects ... so far, touch wood!
particular habit could be construed as being my "vice" in these politically correct times ... but I don't give a damn!
OK,... "everything in moderation", I say - and I believe in being honest.
It will be one year no smoking for me in May
Congratulations. ...and think of all those airtickets our savings on the fags are helping to pay for.It will be one year no smoking for me in May

Its interesting to keep an eye on the stats.
I have saved £3116.95 since I quit.
Blimey is that say a pack a day ?
