I Do Not Smoke

I don't and I will never. I have gone through my teenage years now and seen every single one of my friends take up the habit but I will never even touch a cigarette in my life. They have taken too much from my family. 2 grandparents and an aunt.

Good point. When I was 14, I put a cigarette in my mouth, looked at myself in the mirror -- and came to the sober understanding that I was just a 14-year old kid trying to look impressive, but that I really looked stupid. In addition, my dad had told me that what he spent on smoking in those 14 years could have bought him a new car. So those two experiences made that I never even began to smoke and I have never smoked since then.
