A poll on our smoking habits

[Djgregory]

I am female over 50 and have never smoked and never even tried one, the I hate the smell of it.

 

Both my parents smoked, though my dad did stop for the last 10 years or so of his life, he had heart problems and died 33 years ago at the age of 56. My mum never stopped, never wanted to. She had been hospitalised several times with heart problems and for the 3 or 4 weeks she was in she never smoked but the minute she walked through the front door she lit up and started again. She died 4 years ago at the age of 74.

 

I have one brother and one sister and my brother like me has never liked smoking, hates the smell and will not sit at a table in a pub with an ashtray on the table, yet his wife smokes. My sister has smoked since she was 13.

 

MrC used to smoke but he stopped many years ago.

I started smoking at the age of 15 because I thought it made look cool and grown up. I quit last year when I found out I was pregnant. Best thing I ever did.

Not if you happen to be sitting outside on a nice summer evening enjoying a cool drink.
