My wee granny who always had a fag hanging out her mouth when watching telly, cleaning, doing dishes, knitting baby clothes.. she was a master of keeping the ash on the fag and making it to the ashtray with the ash staying whole..
Anyhoo she gave up when she was 75. After the budget she said they were to expensive at a whopping £1.51 a pack (last time I looked they were almost £10 a pack!!) She went cold turkey no support at all just rolled up her sleeves and got on with it..
She passed away 4 years ago after reaching 100 and getting her long awaited telegram from the Queen(though no telegram now, it's just a card these days!!)....
She always went on at me to give up, I always said "ocht granny I canny, I'm no as strong as you" and look now, she was right all along and I could do it.. she would have been so proud of me .. Geez I miss her so much..
Ooops sorry this has turned into a wee bit of a therapy session for me
