ditto!
dads still smoking, hes one around 40 a day.. might introduce him to the ecigs!
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 my mum and dad smoked. My mum still does but my dad quit a few years ago using the patches.
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.

Both of my parents smoked up until when my mom got pregnant with me. She quit cold turkey while my dad continued to smoke. My dad still smokes to this day. My mom started smoking again earlier this year (19 years later) after some family issues. I recently bought her a 901 from Puresmoker and some 0 nic liquid (as requested by her) and she quit smoking within 2 weeks. She has also stopped using the e-cig and hasn't smoked at all in a tad over a week now.
Everyone in my dad's family smokes... including my great grandmother who smoked until the ripe age of 92 when she passed of natural causes.

You needed two more choices of eather parent.
My father did, and Mom hated smokeing, it was fun to say the least.
Hes afraid of tech, so wont use an E-cig, but got my brother, who smokes, one for christmas, will see if he uses it.
Father is close to 80 and in fine shape, we seem to have good genes for amune systems.
Had a great Aunt who had compications and died, but she was fine befoe she quit

Both my parents also smoked. Dad quit cold turkey about 30 years ago. Mom continued to smoke. She passed away a few years ago from secondary liver cancer, primary site unknown.
My sister now lives with dad. She's a chain smoker so I hope to get her started on e-cig for dad's sake. He hates it.

My mother smoked! She smoked 20 Superking blacks a day but gave up 3 years ago. She got it from my dad who happened to smoke even at night in bed. He must have been on many packs a day!! Unsuprisingly, he got cancer in his throat and now breathes through a hole where his adam's apple would have been. As for their siblings, We all smoked, 1 of my sisters gave up first and then me when I discovered ecigs about 6 months ago, the other still smokes (even when she was pregnant) and my bro smokes the wacky backy or normal backy all the time!! So I guess smoke did run in my family hehe!
Mom smoked Winstons including through the pregnancy, Dad smoked unfiltered Pall Malls. Dad died of lung cancer in '99. Mom quit years ago.
I remember lazy afternoons watching tv/watching my parents smoke. I remember the bluish, slightly fluidic haze of cigarette smoke curling up from their cigarettes. I remember noticing that smoke straight off the end of the cigarette was kind of blue, but that exhaled smoke was white.
I realized years later that when I was flush I'd buy Winstons but when I had to buy on the cheap I'd buy Pall Malls. Branded early, I guess!

OK, I generally don't comment on the Brits and their use of the word ... for cigarettes as I'm not a big fan of the American definition of the word but Lil...this comment just goes above and beyond. It took me quite some time to stop laughing as I envisioned you and your midwife sharing the equivalent of the nasty American slang word "...". Oh my...that poor boy!
