Hello everybody welcome back to my channel I'm doing a chatty Friday but today's Thursday so I'm doing it in advance and today I want to talk about something that came on the news earlier that I feel really passionate about and that is the ban on smoking I personally have always campaigned against smoking I had a friend who was a chain smoker and her fingers were brown black or most from the amount of [ __ ] that she smoked she's only in her 30s and her health is really not good I'm no longer friends with her but um I just remember sitting down in a coffee shop with her and she would literally make an excuse every five minutes to go outside and smoke a [ __ ] it was that bad the addiction is bad now I know as well that when you smoke the addiction is really quite strong to give up nicotine it doesn't happen overnight I know this but I do believe that people should be giving it up because it is costing according to the BBC today this afternoon it's costing 17 billion pound to you know to correct people of giving them surgery because they've got cancer and all the rest of it to treat them on the NHS is costing 17 billion pounds it is a nightmare and it can be totally avoided I mean my mother my grandmother my mother-in-law all died of lung cancer brought on by smoking completely preventable deaths absolutely preventable they could still be alive now and enoy en joying my son you know their grandson and they would still be around for birthdays and Christmas and parties and things like that and they're dead and there's no bringing them back and it's all because they smoked my mom smoked when she was pregnant with me and I've got a number of things wrong with me including quite a few disabilities I'm not saying that I know for a fact that it was due to smoking all I do know is that she did smoke throughout my pregnan throughout her pregnancy with me and I've got these disabilities some problems so make of that what you will and also my husband Barry his mom Chris she smoked throughout the pregnancy with Barry and Barry's joints are not exactly deformed but they're out they look like they're out of place and they're actually in place he's it's so bad that when he's he broke his ankle when when he was a teenager and when they took him in to have look at him they thought that he broken other bones and it wasn't it was just their their set out of place even though they're in place for Barry if that makes sense and he's got dyspraxia all brought about We Believe by smoking and um you know it's completely preventable you know I want to be able to go when I'm in a coffee shop I want to be able to go and sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and have a cup of tea outside but I can't because every single seating area whether it's in a pub a restaurant a coffee shop has been taken over by smokers who think they've got the right to take up all the tables and chairs and and smoke and there are no there's no room to sit out Outdoors for anybody who's a nonsmoker not unless you want to breathe in someone else's carcinogens so I think self is it's completely selfish I mean no matter of times I've been at the bus stop and the person in front of me has just started smoking you know they know all that smoke is going to go behind them to the people standing behind them and they just don't give an absolute rat back side they want to smoke so that's what they're going to do and I think it's time to stop it I think the government should ban smoking that apparently they're thinking about it I think they should go for it because it was banned indoors something like 15 years ago and I don't think they've gone far enough they should ban smoking completely and you know it it'd be good to actually go outside and be in a smoke-free environment I mean I've actually been to hospital and seen a whole bunch of smokers outside the door some of them on oxygen still smoking they still haven't got it it's costing the NHS so much money and we could save so much money by people not smoking now I know like I said before it's really hard to give up smoking I know this but the thing is you've got to do it though it's for your health it's for your family it's for your friends you know who wants to go anywhere where it absolutely stinks of [ __ ] all the time and not to mention that as well if you're a smoker you might not smelly on yourself but you stink of [ __ ] it's that bad you've got to stop it it's a lifestyle Choice it's not a need it's a want you could save so much money if you didn't smoke cuz it can't be cheap having to smoke seriously it's got to be really really quite expensive to start smoking and to continue smoking and like my ex-friend she was a chain smoker and she was always scrunching for money it was ridiculous um but just to actually go outside in a hospital and not have to walk through a wall of smoke to sit down at a restaurant or to go outside and have a cup of tea at a coffee shop and enjoy the sunshine without somebody smoking next to me to stand at a bus stop where somebody isn't going to be smoking next to me and my child you know it's awful I hate cigarette smoke and like I said I've lost people to lung cancer because of smoking I hate smoking and as part of my business Nur I have actually got a stop smoking hypnosis course that I'm going to be doing and I'm hoping to treat as many people as possible with the hypnosis stop smoking course and that's going to be available hopefully next year I've just got to record the course so you know there are ways of stopping it hypnosis is a really good way to stop smoking but there are other Aids on the market if you put your money into stopping smoking rather than continue smoking not only will you stop smoking your health will improve and you'll get stronger and stronger and the Temptation will get less and less I know it's hard I'm not saying it's going to happen overnight it's going to be difficult but you have to do it you have to do it for yourself for your family for your friends for the NHS for the government you have to do it for society because it's just not acceptable to smoke it really isn't it's an absolute plague on society and I do think that you know you could be spending your money on better things and vaping is just as bad vaping has got its downsides as well billowing all that smoke out of her Vape as you walk down the street where It might smell as strawberries and cream but it's still chemicals going into your body and there has been studies shown that they're actually worse for you than cigarettes so vaping is not an alternative either we need to stop smoking all together whether it's vaping whether it's [ __ ] whether it's a bong whether it's whatever we need to stop smoking so there's my rant and chatty Friday I hope you have a good weekend take care God bless
