I tried that stuff, it did nothing for my cold feet, but I got a huge erection

I think you could be right, not tried that though. I do smoke at the moment, but this is the final nail in the coffin for that, Im on my last pack of bacci, so when thats finished Im stopping.

Are you sure that wasn't viagra?

If it's really bad mate, you can get battery powered heated socks on tinternet.

Extreme solution, mind.

Smoking is a classic contributor to poor circulation to the extremities (hands and feet). Smoking just a couple of cigars a day used to give me pins and needles in them at night...

It could of been, I was told it was a blue smartie
Serilously though, I used to get really bad cold feet, chilblains etc; at the time I used to spend a lot of time in wellies, switching to good leather boots, good socks made all the difference. Nowadays, I have 3 pairs of boots, rotating them daily and I never wear anything other than bridgedale socks, expensive yes, but keeping warm and dry is high on my agenda.

back hen I was a kid helping my dad tree-cutting, I remember my feet were always cold, and whining about it. I always seemed to have chillblains too. Several years later, my feet are always warm and dry, no chillblains. I think welly boots are possibly the worst thing for cold feet, modern chainsaw boots re so much better, and of course the quality of material that socks are made from.

You really must STOP SMOKING!!!!!!!!

I worked for a retired surgeon who had spent most of his career removing the legs from smokers!!!

I bought a pair of "Porelle Drys", keep my feet toastie and should the boots start to leak a bit at the end of a day also dry.

Good bit of kit and bought mine from a motorcycle dealers.

Thanks for all the helpfull replies looks like today will be the last one for the ciggies. Im actually looking forward to it, I feel alot less fit than I used to which is something I dont like. So should be bouncing off the walls in the next few months with my refound youth!!
