in reply to Do you smoke tobacco?

I don't smoke. I never have and never will. Both my parents were smokers, and let me tell you, the smell of a car on a cold winter's morning, with menthol cigarette butts crammed into the ash tray, is enough to stop any kid from ever touching tobacco.

That said, I don't have to smoke. I just need to walk by the front door to my car to get plenty of nicotine.

Besides, politics is my drug of choice. Addictive, warps the mind (though not as severely as quantum physics), makes you a social pariah, and expensive as hell.

    I started with 11 and stopped with 18. It's all there. Now I really don't intend to start wasting mone like that again. :-)
      About the same for me. I was purely a habitual smoker, no more than a few cigarettes a day. Then sometime after starting college, it just didn't taste good any more. So, I quit. That's all there is to it.
