Why Did You Begin Smoking?
Just curious. I'll tell you why I did not begin smoking. Mom and Dad smoked. I was 5-10 years old when one evening I asked Dad to take a puff on one of his lit cigarettes (he smoked non-filter Camel and Lucky Strike). I guess he said go ahead, because I can still remember inhaling one time and then immediately going into a long coughing fit. After that, I could never understand how he smoked those things without coughing up a storm like I did. So that ended any interest/curiosity regarding "smokes." Never tried marijuana either.
Mom died of mouth cancer at the age of 68. Dad lasted longer to 86, but had to breath oxygen the last couple of years due to COPD.
I also wonder if new smokers today begin that nasty habit for the same reasons smokers of my generation (or my parent's generation) began?
