Smoking

[oohjarwatsit]

I am glad to say I have never smoked, nor did my parents, my siblings, my husband and his family and our children.

How many others have never smoked.

Better than having smoking related diseases, like many do!

I took one puff when I was a kid. It made me so sick, I never wanted to touch another one and didn't! Since then, just the smell has smothered me.

It might be fifty fifty I don't know but I think there might be more former smokers or current smokers here than ones who never smoked at all. Only in recent generations has the health risk and anti-smoking campaigns made a big difference. When I had my first baby in 1984 the smoking area was right next to patient rooms. I haven't had a puff in more than five years but still look fondly at Newport packs...I smoked for a long time.

Couldn't find an LOL smiley.

I smoke once in every other blue moon, if I'm with a friend who smokes and I feel like an after-dinner smoke or something. Sometimes it's more relaxing than dessert (and less fattening!). But I rarely buy smokes and I never smoke alone. I do it like I might do an after-dinner drink, if I'm in the mood for the taste of it and the company.

See socially I feel it's fine. I just couldn't stop at once in awhile. It got to be a pack a day. Besides expensive, I was getting winded just climbing stairs, it was time to quit.
