Due to my finances i am an enforced non smoker
can't keep being over my overdraft with 2 weeks till im paid and still have bills to come out. Something has to give. Would actually be better off by £2500 on benefits if i quit work but pride and work ethic stops me from doing so. So it's either food/bills or smoking
Either way you're going to die, at least i won't be wheezing when i go0
