    When I was young most people around us smoked. Been a none smoker was unusual, people smoked everywhere. A lot of people were like my mum who just socialy smoked, and still does. She appears to have no addiction, goes months without a cigerette but if she is out having a drink and people are smoking she will have one. When we started smoking as teenagers everybody in the gang did it. Most of my aunties, uncles and peers gave up as the health concerns grew. The people who are still smoking from my generation are the real addicts. Lets face it anybody with any sense at all would have given up in the face of the obvious health issues, not been able to give up shows a real problem.

    Both of my parents smoked. In 2002 my mom found out she had throat cancer and quit, she is doing well. My dad found out he had Emphysema in 1981 and quit cigarettes the same day. He died from lung cancer in 2005.

    Both my parents smoked although my ma was only ever a once in a while smoker.. my dad however smoked for a long time but gave the habit up a couple of years ago.. he always found it pretty easy to give up if he wanted to especially at one point when he came back to the UK after a long stint in Asia and discovered the price of smokes had soared beyond all reason!

    Sorry to hear that Dnakr. I once was told that ex-smokers would completely recover after around 10 years - don't know if it was nonsense. Perhaps once emphysema is diagnosed the best you can hope for is damage limitation. I've a friend who quit a couple of years ago after the same diagnosis.

    Neither of my parents smoked. Guess I was a rebellious prat - after starting to smoke at around 14 I then decided to up the ante a few years later by getting a motorbike.
