I Do Not Smoke

I never started. When I was growing up my dad told me if I didn't smoke or chew tobacco when I reached 21 he would pay me one hundred dollars. He paid me on my 21st birthday.

Me neither. I hate the smell of fag smoke. But certain pipe tobaccos or cigars are pleasantly fragrant

I bought two packs of 20 during an Easter break from school when I was 14. Smoked 20, threw the other pack away and never smoked again. One of my better decisions in life.

That was in 1980. That was quite a bit of money then.

My Dad smoked but once told me he wished he'd never started. His generation thought it strange not to smoke, I think! I tried a cigarette once, perhaps twice; didn't like the taste, realised it's an expensive habit as well as not good for you, and have never smoked since.

@ArishMell I went through all that and smoked on anyway. Started at fifteen quit at thirty nine, now I run a coaching service called Beautiful Quitters
