i've been smoking since i was five! i'm now fifty two!! and still smoking against my doctor's advise! my father died four years ago, eighty one years old, smoking to his last breath! he was a smoker for sixty six years!!! my mother died three years ago, seventy five years old, she stopped smoking when she reached sixty five! i enjoy smoking! i like the taste! with the way things are going, smokers not only literally are a dying breed, legally, we're pariahs, outcasts!! i respect non smokers right to live a healthier life!!! is it about a lenghty life or a life well lived? whose perception?

"smokers not only literally are a dying breed, legally, we're pariahs, outcasts!!" What rot! No one wants to restrict your freedom to smoke except where your smoking restricts my freedom to breathe air untainted by your foul smoke. all the best urban

If that is your line of thinking, then you should not use your car or anything that emits harmful smoke.

Like I said, nothing against you smoking in the street and I don't run my car engine inside. all the best urban

wow, what made you start at the age of 5? i think that is pretty early to start anything that is serious like that. what kind of child hood did you have? but yes, you are seen as outcasts...hubby and i have been watching old dvds of the the old dragnet series and in the 50's it was 'cool' to smoke...tides have turned...
