Anyone check out the prices of a pack?  I don't think anyone can afford
to smoke now...   My dad was a two pack a day smoker, until my sister
and I started getting choked up. He stopped about 33 years ago, after
smoking about 37.

Same here.  However the very few times I've given in to the impulse, my
throat
was so sore for days afterwards, I've never been tempted to take it up
again.
I know seven years isn't a long time to smoke, but I've wondered how I
did it
even for that long.  Most I smoked was a half-pack a day.  I really
don't know
how the 3-pack habits do it, I really don't.  Guess I wasn't really
addicted
to it.  I did it for the socialisation as everyone I hung out with in
high
school and college smoked, and I met more people bumming cigarettes than
at
parties.
