Ironically, NO ONE in my Quaker Meeting smokes. I am the only working class member. Everyone else has PhD's or Master's degrees. Quite a few folks among my 12 Step buddies smoke. Ironically, in my apartment complex are seniors with various ailments. The lady next door is going though Chemo. Yet they are all outside puffing on those cancer sticks. It's an oxymoron. There are programs and medical help for them to quit but they don't want to. I suspect that the lady next door wouldn't be going though Chemo if she hadn't been puffing on nicotine for so many years. Abracadabra

Smoking has been a huge addiction for me. I've tried so hard to quit several times over the years. I quit six months ago and I hope this will be the end of it because stopping any addiction is not easy. Apart from the health dangers, a pack of cigarettes here in Canada is about $10. - 15.

If I hadn't I have no doubt I would be dead. The upper classes started the cigarette trend in the early 1900's. Tailor made smokes gradually migrated to the lower strata of society with the passage of time. Free smokes during the two major wars helped to spread the popularity. Now the upper classes have given it up, but that trend is much slower further down the social scale.

Don't panic, even the non smoking rich people still get cancer of the lungs, throat and mouth. It's in the air you breathe and the chemicals you use to make sure your breath smells sweet and your teeth sparkle. Stay away from the cities surrounded by smog, don't use deodorant, it has aluminum in it that causes Parkinson like diseases, don't drink diet sodas, or eat anything with sugar substitutes, don't eat sugar, it will kill you as well, and the list goes on and on. People are going to do what they want, eat what they want and it's no one's business but their own. Just ask those health nuts who died from lung cancer and brain tumors that thought they were doing everything the right way. Oops, too late!!
