My father was a heavy smoker, and unfortunately for the family, a rather heavy drinker. I have never smoked, probably because I saw the damage the nicotian habit caused to my father and those of my friends who took up the habit. I was really the odd man out at the time but am extremely glad now that the habit was avoided. All my mates, those I grew up with, are either dead or extremely ill with smoke related problems.  Smoking destroys the health, hurts the pocket, and who would ever wish to cuddle a heavy smoker - be it male or female. YUK.

at first welcome to group and all your real experiences in the life.

Secondly,Thank you my friend to tell us and All smokers your effective story .

If you have more you are welcomed at any time. Feel free with us MR  claudelejuen

Perhaps one more thing could be mentioned about the habit of smoking.

The effect second hand smoke has upon those around the smoker or smokers. It has been shown quite clearly that second hand smoke - which one can not avoid breathing in if you are in the same room as a smoker - is more dangerous to the inhaler than the exhaler - Your children's health and the health of friends or other loved ones can - and frankly is - effected  in a detrimental manner. Stop smoking now - better still for the young - don't ever start. ( just as a foot note ) There is enough scientific evidence available - for those who care to look and listen - to clearly spell out why no one should ever think of puffing on a stick of tobacco

I don't even started !Wow,thanks God for blessing me to remain pure in this aspect !
