Funny about smoking...
When I was in grammar school we were taught about oral cancer and lung cancer with all the disgusting pictures. That had an impact on me not to smoke.
But probably bigger impact was my folks didn't smoke. My grandpa pretty much chained smoked. That ashtray odor didn't smell good, but the house also always smelled like sautéed onions.
Also, as a young adult on, I bummed cigarettes all the time from my friends who smoked, especially when drinking. They wanted me to smoke with them. I never really got anything out of it besides the physical routine which satisfied my fidgeting habit. I never had the desire to go out and buy a pack. I guess I'm somehow immune to nicotine addiction, or whatever desired effect it's supposed to have. I don't know how rare that is. |
I remember seeing pictures from the Red Cross when they visited my Second Grade class...quite an impact! EVERYONE smoked when I was little...it just seemed to be what "Older People" did.
At 13, was going to impress my Friend by smoking the Benson and Hedges Menthol I had hocked from her purse...after coughing and gagging for 20 minutes later, wondered why ANYONE would want to start.
You're quite lucky, Sculpt, that You have that immunity...from what I have heard, Tobacco is extremely difficult to cease and desist.
