    As an ex smoker i should not find this hard, but i do. I know that i must have smelt this bad when i smoked so how do non smokers get over this?

    I am experiencing real difficulties with this.
    Any advice would be appreciated greatly.

    I gave up in January. You are right they smell horrid - but it's usually Joe Public I smell on. At Ceroc no one pongs - well they do, but not of fags, must not be many ceroc smokers in London.

    My main problem is the choccy in the fridge. I have put on a stone in weight, but I am not a scaffolder so can't work it off monkeying about on buildings.

    I am still being dropped, can't believe that, thought that would be one problem solved at least as my right leg is still a bit dodgy.

    My God dont talk to me about eating i am eating for Wales at the moment.
    I am not that worried about putting on weight as i will diet when i feel the need to drop a bit.

    Went to StAlbans the other night had a twice through and then into freestyle with a lovely little thing who stank of smoke .

    Never will i dance with her again, i may be an arrogant bastard but as i am in the majority i can pick and choose whom to dance with and from now on it will be non smokers only.

    Any whiff of a smelly smoker and off she goes.

    If this does not make me Mr popular i dont know what will.

    Know that feeling well. I'm not an ex-smoker, but I am an asthmatic who has cigarette smoke as my major trigger! The smoking ban up here has been a real godsend.

    And... I pride myself on being an arrogant bastard

    Not this time I'm afraid. But now that there is an offer of a shandy or two, it's becoming a more attractive proposition.

    I have to learn how to dance first though

    Well Dave you were never a particularly a heavy smoker, and since you always changed your tops that always helps. Only time I really noticed your breath, was if you tried to kiss me, or when you had had a few too many beers.

    As for how to handle dancers who are heavy smokers, then my rule is I never ask smokers for a dance, but will never refuse a dance from a smoker if asked.

    The more the merrier... male & female bonding (if that's allowed???)

    cause I'm a tight Aberdonain, who has never seen the inside of a wallet and has a morbid fear (which is actually a certified medical condition) of buying a round

    Cheers

    Count me in if I ever make it south... although, I'm a Highlander with an Aberdonian father... so there's a fair bit of the old morbid fear running around!

    re the smoking - I know it's tough to give up 'cos my dad did and he was a grumpy buG3er for a while....but... I hate dancing with smokers - I'm asthmatic and the smell is horrible... I've never said no but I HATE dancing with smokers so WELL DONE DTS - have some rep!

    Re: I have given up smoking

    Well done Dave, I hope it is still going well.

    I stopped smoking over 2 years ago and it's the best thing I EVER did. I did consiously sell it to myself as "stopping" rather than "giving up" as I knew that I would feel I was missing out on something if I gave it up - rather like being on a diet and not being allowed to eat chocolate makes you want to eat more.

    I can smell a smoker now from 20 paces and I am horrified to think that I once smelt like they do. Mr Darcy and I are really looking forward to the ban in July

    Fingers crossed that you stay stopped and catch you for a non-smoking-dance soon
