Just used mah coupon! But I will play along anyway.
I was a hard core exerciser in HS, but I busted up my hip and couldn't pack my bike (too bulky) and I was frankly worried about gaining weight, plus everyone smokes in England, or they did then, anyway.
I kind of looked at it as a "weight control management" strategy, that plus my best friend (one of those worst best friends) taught me how to inhale.
I was pretty sure I could quit when I got home, but I was also pretty wrong.
I quit smoking in part because I like, was going to die, although that wasn't my whole motivation I was going to DIE OF COPD, and that looks like an ugly, painful, expensive way to die. LOL.
