I found a strange yellowish stain on my shirt today, under the pocket, and I looked at it, and wondered about it, then took out my baccy to roll a fag, and realised the sweat had leached out the nicotine from loose flakes of tobacco in the pocket.....and I didn't even get a major sweat on this week!

Re: Sweating on the job
Compared to what the job does to the rest of my body ( and mind ), I think smoking & drinking should be subsidised by RMdisgruntledpostie1 wrote:If that's what a little bit of tobacco does to your shirt, just imagine what it's doing to your lungssmokerjim wrote:I found a strange yellowish stain on my shirt today, under the pocket, and I looked at it, and wondered about it, then took out my baccy to roll a fag, and realised the sweat had leached out the nicotine from loose flakes of tobacco in the pocket.....and I didn't even get a major sweat on this week!![]()
