Good Morning JACKO and Mr Ed,
Id like to join in and explore a little of my no smoking geography with you, if I may.... I'm originally from Blackburn, Lancashire. North-West England neck of the woods, nearish to you JACKO, where I believe the entire Blackburn Rovers football team are non smokers!
In my 20's I trained as an SRN (state registered nurse)at St George's Hospital, London learning about and witnessing at first hand the health consequences of smoking related diseases...I lived in Tooting, Wimbledon, Chelsea and Knightsbridge in nurses' accommodation and I'm sure Mr Ed can help me out with famous Quitters from those areas
.....sad to say I wasn't one of them!!!
I now live in Bodmin, Cornwall and have specialised in mental health nursing, acute in-patient care for many years....traditionally a very smoking environment...but we are going smoke free in September and this gave me the push I needed.
I really want to carry on being a non smoker and I've been amazed and encouraged by the positive impact the support from people on this site has had, I hope this continues.
Very glad you're back JACKO
Thank you Mr Ed, for your encouragement :)
