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.

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.
