Ok, here’s one I’ll jump in on. I go to the gym three times a week, I run when the weather cooperates, I watch what I eat, I stay as active as I can, and I smoke. A pack-a-day habit for me since they were less than $2 a pack. Does it bother me? Sometimes. Does it affect my air consumption? I’m sure it does, somewhat. Do I care? No, not at all. I, like many others, enjoy a cigarette after a good meal, with a cup of coffee, and many other times. I’m comfortable with it, so please, please, please stop telling me how bad it is for me, I know that already! It’s my choice, just like everything else in life. My grandparents smoked well into their 80’s without lung cancer, my parents are smoking into their 60’s without lung cancer. Now keep in mind I’m a courteous smoker, I’ll go outside when I have to, I don’t smoke while people are eating, things like that. But don’t ever come up to me while I’m sitting somewhere enjoying my cigarette and ask me to put it out, because I will, and you will not like how I do it...
