[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 614703, member: 1963"] I've pitied other smokers even as a smoker myself. I didn't even really enjoy smoking the last couple of years. I resented the hell out of it and couldn't believe I'd been so stupid as to start and I started before all the health warnings other than lung cancer came out. What infuriates me now, and did when I smoked, is seeing young people smoking. I can't see why, knowing what we know now about how deadly cigs are, anyone would smoke. Plus, they are SOOOO expensive. What a pity to work a low-paying or part-time job and blow minimum wage on tobacco. Makes no sense to me. When I started smoking, cigs were 35 cents a pack. 45 cents out of the machines. Now they are 6-7 dollars a PACK. That meant as a 2 pack a day smoker, I was spending close to 400 dollars a month on a habit that was killing me and hurting those around me. Big Tobacco has refused to admit that 2nd hand smoke is dangerous. I have my pets as living, FEELING, examples of what 2nd hand smoke does! [/QUOTE]
