In reply to Mick - UKClimbing.com: Do you think an article like that is responsible?
I know its just an article, but it does glamorise smoking, kids read these forums, lets not forget smoking kills hundreds, thousands if not millions a year through horrible long drawn ot deaths.
Sorry to be boring but think both sides should be given here, why not get an old climber, now riddled with illness, bed ridden, no longer able to get out in the hills, and explain the quality of his life now.
No doubt a few will take offence at my wee rant, but I am fairly anti-smoking.
