Donna Summer died yesterday of lung cancer. Her family insists she did not smoke. I had read somewhere else that she blamed it on the 9/11 dust from when the towers came down.
I started smoking when I was about 14 or so. I'm 44 now and just quit smoking the week of the last Super Bowl. I smoked for 30 years. Quitting was certainly the hardest thing I have ever done. I don't feel "much" healthier either. I don't cough as much though. I have more money. My wife no longer complains that I smell like smoke. I gained a ton of weight. I think at my worst I was at 6 ft. tall and 225 lbs. I recently lost about 10 so I'm now weighing at about 215 pounds.
I know several former smokers who are far worse than the never-smoked non-smokers. I hope not to be like them. Right now, smoke still smells real good to me. I don't mind people smoking around me especially if I'm outside. I never smoked in my house ever since I started dating my wife. She is allergic to smoke big-time so I have smoked outside for the last 16 years or so.
So... Do you smoke? Do you hate smokers? Are you a former smoker who hates smokers? If you smoke, what do you smoke and how often? I was a pack a day of Marlboro Light 100's. Right now they are about $5.50 USD per pack.
