Do You Remember Your First Cigarette?

I never got the urge to smoke. Married a smoking 19yr old woman. Her smoking never bothered me.
When my mother died at age 60, the autopsy showed that her lungs were black; having lived 43 years with a pack-a-day husband. But lung-cancer is not directly what killed her.
As a kid, I remember rolling smokes for Dad on a 3 or 4 wide little machine, no filters. I really liked the smell of the fresh from the tin tobacco. But I never got the itch to try smoking it.
Growing up, I never cared much for the smell of the smoke, but after Mom's death, I hated it. To be fair to Dad, I got baptized about 6 weeks prior to Mom's demise, which mighta had something to do with the hate. Dad lived another almost 17 years, dying not of cancer, but of an infection he contracted in the hospital, after he went in for a voluntary repair of an expanding artery in his abdomen. He had been a smoker for about 72 years. For his final 17 years he lived with the knowledge that his smoking in the house, had led, in part at least, to the early death of his dear wife and life-long companion.
Dad had 7 sisters and 6 brothers, and 4 of those brothers succumbed to cancer from smoking; only Dad and his eldest brother, a staunch Believer didn't get it. Now; my atheist Daddy married a good and practicing Christian woman, and lived with her for 43 years.
To be truthful; Dad's youngest brother was a pipe smoker, was into and out of Christianity almost like a yo-yo,had a Christian second wife, and a big fat heart-attack got him, just like it got my mother. At age 60,he was 10 years my senior.
Both of my brothers are gone now,only the one of cancer at age 62.5, and one of my two sisters,at age 60, had a not-so-minor heart-attack, which,you guessed it, drove her straight to Christianity.
So as you can see, the 60s seem to be the general age limit of most of my clan. I am now 66.5, and gaining on Uncle Henry, the long-ago deceased Believer, and Dad's eldest brother. But as for me, I'm looking forward to a natural expiration date in my 80s, if the World should still be here.
Make of that what you will.
