I’ve tried to quit smoking on so many occasions before. With the exception of nicotine patches, I’ve used methods like decreasing the quantity through time, changing to a brand you don’t like and other tips in that fashion, but none of them really worked in the end. My many attempts of breaking with the addiction have taught me that the best method is “cold turkey”. Doing it “cold turkey” is more effective than any other ...

If there were only a market for such intricate and fantastical smoking devices, maybe even I could become a Marlboro man. Who knew my smoking habits would so closely mirror those of English clowns from the 1930s? [Modern Mechanix via boingboing]

No More Rain-Soaked Cigarettes! MANY are the inventions devised to insure a dry smoke, but it has remained for a clown appearing with a circus in England to solve the problem. An umbrella over the smoke keeps off water and a spigot drains off excess moisture.

Filed under: Portable Audio It's only taken a number of years and some seriously ruined pants -- but Apple has finally come clean on the flammable nature of the first-generation iPod nano, and is now offering to replace the faulty devices. After reports today that two more of the media players had lit up without warning in Japan, the company issued a statement admitting that the nanos do -- in fact -- have battery problems ...

As a connoisseur of the MMO genre, I've often noticed that your average Chinese and Korean massively multiplayer online games tend to rely heavily on the mouse, often foregoing keyboard movement altogether in favor of the dreaded click-to-move system that I completely despise. So why do Asian MMO games lean so hard on the mouse? Perfect World product manager Jon Belliss believes he's discovered the answer - smoking. He explains that a large portion of ...

More evidence emerges that England selected the right man when they asked Fabio Capello to rescue their football team. From the Times today: On another issue - Wayne Rooney's smoking habit - Capello was curiously indifferent, a stance that brought out sweat beads on the foreheads of his FA employers, fearful of their manager unwittingly being cast as the spokesman for a generation of English butt-heads. Capello later returned to clarify his position and the ...

たばこJapan remains very much a smoker's paradise with low prices (aound 300 yen for a standard pack of 20), weakly worded health warnings on cigarette packets and no sign on the political horizon of a European-style blanket smoking ban in workplaces, bars and restaurants. There is just not the official will for that sort of drastic anti-smoking measure in Japan at the moment.However, restrictions on tobacco use are increasing. Most urban areas have no-smoking zones ...

The German Constitutional Court ruled against smoking-bans in the Bundesländer of Baden-Württemburg and Berlin this week. Along with the ruling for Baden-Württemburg and Berlin, Germany's other fourteen states were adviced to reexamine their own smoking-bans. The smoking-bans are threatening two well-ingrained German traditions; the Eckkneipen, corner pubs, and the Stammtisch, a table at the Eckkneipe where friends and family regularly gather. It was for this reason that many smokers lit up only 30-60 seconds after ...

It's hard to remember, but there was a time back in the 1950s and 60s when cigarettes were truly glamorous. No one really considered the potential health ramifications. The images below of James Dean and Frank Sinatra are iconic representations of an era that is now long gone. Since then, of course, people stared to die from diseases that smoking contributed to and we learned a lot about its health impact, including that of second-hand ...

Wow, just wow. Kevin Wade and Mathew Richard, two 17-year olds from Houston, Texas, were recently arrested for abusing a corpse. They didn't try to have sex with it, but they did remove the skull to make a bong. Police were interviewing Jones about the debit card fraud when he told them about the grave theft. Asked why Jones would volunteer the information police sergeant John Chomiak said: 'We can only speculate and guess to ...

I don’t smoke. Smoking is a disgusting, life sucking, and expensive habit. I don’t own a car either. I must admit to having the same disdain for most drivers as I do for smokers. I feel particularly loathsome towards the drivers of larger gas-guzzling trucks and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). I recently linked my abhorrence between smoking and cars when I stumbled upon an article about mountain bike inventor Gary Fisher. On the direction of ...

Yes, I’m still alive, despite numerous people wishing otherwise. One of the fantastic things about being me is that you’re never short of a few death threats now and again. It certainly gives me a smile whilst I’m enjoying my cereal in the morning. One thing that pisses me off a great deal is people who say that giving up smoking is difficult, or “the hardest thing they’ve ever tried/done’. Clearly these people lead sheltered ...
