To smoke or not, and to encourage and advise smokers to stop, usually creates a hoo ha on here.
I've always found Bob Newhart's little piece on smoking sums me up perfectly. Dead leaves, rolled in paper and set light to..... I never understood the desire to find out what it's like and so didn't.
I did nag my parents to stop smoking, which mum did. Dad carried on and the weed got him in the end. Now I nag my son.....
But each to their own. I'm 54 soon, expect to go on for another 25 - 30 years and hope, along the way, to inhale as little of other peoples smoke as possible.
