Smoked for 34 years. Very thankful for the invention of the PV. Breathing much easier now.
I started smoking at 19 and will be 60 in January 2010. I had to force myself to like it and get used to it. All my friends smoked, so I did too.
I certainly regret the 41 years it took me to stop smoking cigarettes and it did take a heavy toll on my health, but hopefully things will not get any worse from here on in.
