Smoke or not to smoke

It seems that as the smoking ban draws ever nearer in England, everyone I know is making an attempt to give up smoking........ so what do I do ? shall I give it a go ? or should I stay individual and tell the world to ram it ?

But I know I am starting this with a defeatest attitude, I trick myself with the lines " but I enjoy it" or " I am not ready to give up ", which promps, how do you know if you are ready to give up ? if thats the case then I will NEVER be ready to give up....

Like most things I was an early starter when it came to anything bad, I have been smoking since I was TEN tears old.... (and I made my brother start at the same time and he was (well still is....) two years younger) So is this another excuse I can use for failing.... I have smoked too long to give up now, why practice and perfect smoking for this long, only to stop ?
I am worried that giving up smoking is going to be that stressfull that I will then start smoking to combat the effects for stressing about not smoking....
Seems like a vicious circle to me.....

So before I jump in with two feet and attempt the impossible, I am going to do some research this weekend and get some info about ' how to give up '......

So if anyone has any ideas about giving up or not giving up let me know, I think maybe I will need all the help I can get.....

anyway gotta go now as its time for a cig before I start my day at work.
