Intro: More than a quarter of the female population currently smoke, with numerous studies showing that a higher percentage of gays than straights are still stuck on the weed - possibly as many as one in three. That should mean that around 66 per cent of dykes are non-smokers.
Yet at least 80 per cent of the women joining the lesbian introduction agency, The Circle, say they will not even consider meeting up with a smoker.
Until recently, I was a militant smoker. But since the end of last December, not only have I not smoked a cigarette: I haven`t even wanted one. Here`s the un-brainwashing I had to do first:
Myth no. 1: Giving up is difficult. . . .
Myth no. 2: Smoking is enjoyable.
As Allen Carr, author of ‘The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently’ (ISBN 0-14-024475-1), said: "Eating lobster is enjoyable, but I don`t need to go around with 40 hung around my neck every day." . . .
Myth no. 10: I`ve kicked the habit so I can have just one or two now and then and not get hooked again.
Cigarette smoking is an addiction, not a habit, so it will never be possible for a quitter to have just one or two. They will soon be back on the treadmill.
But the point is, why would you want one or two? If you`ve understood the points I`ve been making, you`d rather stick needles in your eye!
