I smoked for 45 years. When Jim was diagnosed last year with OC, I threw the damn things out. Smoking was considered "cool" back in the 50's and 60's. Now when I see someone smoking, it is disgusting. Wasting all that money to eventually kill yourself. Nicotine is just like alcohol--addicting ! And it stinks. I have a friend who is on oxogen and still goes outside to have a puff. Imagine that ? If I could quit, anybody can. But, look what it took---------it took me watching him in this horrible disease............I can go on and on, but I won't. I don't mean to sound cruel and I never ever preach to anybody that is still smoking, but my mind and heart silently say "please stop for yourself and all the people that love you"
My son still chews-----------so, yes, it is very addicting.
