My story is the same except Dad smoked filterless pall mall. God I don’t remember how old I was when he gave me a drag. 12 maybe if that. Couldn’t freaking stop coughing. Never had an interest after that. Mom ended up not allowing him to smoke inside anymore along the way too.

When I first met Jamie she was a smoker. Not a big one though. She quit cold turkey not long after we met and hasn’t smoked since.

Love the no smoking laws. Remember the bar hoping days you would get home smelling like a cigarette. Shower and when the hair got wet it smelled like a wet cigarette. Throat would be sore. Nose all funky feeling from all that smoke. Go out now and you can breathe and don’t come home smelling like a cigarette. :)
