Smoking

Addiction? There has to be a stronger word. When I was in the ER and they told me I was having a heart attack and might die I asked them if I could go outside and smoke one last cigarette before I croaked. True story.
 
(Shhhh. I can get you some realll nice Ice Breaker stuff...new supplier...just sign over your khuks...that's it, just sign them over...you will be sooo "iced-up" you'll hardly notice.)

It'll be our secret.
 
My Mother quit smoking when she found she was pregnant in 1950. She never started back, but told me that there had never been a day in her life since that she didn't want a cigarette with her coffee in the morning, & one after supper every night. Shortly before she died in 1999, she told me she didn't know if all that will power had done her much good.
 
I noticed at our 50th HS class reunion I was the only smoker -- out of 17 or 18 survivors. 7 are dead and one crazy -- all non smokers.

It's all a matter of the cards you're dealt. All Dad's 9 brothers and sisters are dead -- 8 of them younger than him and none smoked. He's still puffing away and if he lasts until Feb. he'll be 91.
