[QUOTE="Lil, post: 660858, member: 17309"] Or maybe he just grew up in a house with parents who smoked. We quit a long time, but started again. His biodad was a smoker too. His loser friends smoke. Put that with a genetic predisposition to addiction... He made a remark yesterday in mid-rant about having "beaten a drug addiction all by himself, with no help at all". First time he's ever said anything at all about drugs. My response was, "Well, you didn't have to. THAT was something we were always willing to help you with." I never really figured out where that fit into the conversation, except I was telling him he was right, I didn't understand what it was like to be him, because I did what my parents wanted me to, whether I liked it or not. I agree with Jabber, if you can't afford something, you shouldn't do it...but by the same token, I know people who would buy smokes before food. Ever notice how many smokers are lower-income? Seems backwards to me. [/QUOTE]
