I used to work with a woman that had cystic fibrosis who would get so angry when she saw someone smoking. She would say how people don't realize what they're taking for granted as they willingly ruin their healthy lungs, and she was right. I've almost died twice from pneumonia and I don't smoke. I think of my pneumonia and my (now late) coworker. It's just not worth it.
I smoked from 14-22, Marlboro Reds then switched to Newports. I briefly picked it back up around 30 but then I was getting these little cigars that looked like cigarettes from the Indian place on 1960.
Never smoked cigarettes because of my asthma . But I did smoke a pipe when I drove truck but one day I roll the window down and tossed the pipe and tobacco out in the middle of the interstate. That was the last time. That was back in 1978
