I would like to say something about smoking. I am an occassional smoker, btw. Before my child, I was a pack a day smoker. I plan, soon, to be a non-smoker. My child needs me. My father was a smoker until he was 59 years old. He is now 70 years old and healthy except for what smoking did to him. I love this man dearly. He gave me some news last night. Six months ago the doctors told him that he has severe COPD. Now he has chronic bronchitis. He is going downhill. ![]() If he hadn't smoked all of those years, he would be healthy now. He is very down about this. He wanted to be around longer for his wife, me, and his grandchild. im so sorry ![]() ![]() im going to quit smoking soon to, because im a asthmatic and im scared of getting lung cancer. so in a few weeks im stopping! ![]() Thanks, Debbie. I hope you succeed. It may take several tries. It's a tough addiction to break. ![]() will you dad get better?? i really hope he does, because hes got a wondeful daughter. and thankyou ill do my best ![]() ![]() Awww, thanks, Debbie. ![]() No, Debbie. He's going to die from it. That is what I meant by saying that he was going downhill. My Great Aunt died from COPD from smoking too. It was painful to see the pain that she was in and I dread the fact that my father will have to go through that. ![]() oh no, im so, so sorry. your such a beautiful lady in every way, i wish you and your dad wernt going through this. if you need to talk, please send me a message, ![]() ![]() ![]() Thank you, Debbie. ![]() |

To me - an occassional smoker smokes less than half a pack a day. half a pack? thats like saying if you only drink 2 or 3 beers a day your an occasionally drinker, if you do it on a daily basis its more then occasional. ok your right htat doesnt make u a drinker nor does smoking one cigarette a day make you a smoker but sumthing u do on a daily basis no matter what it is, would be somthing you do more then occasionally It is letting people know that you don't smoke like a chimney or chain smoke. ok thats understandable i just dont think "occasionally" is the right word There isn't a "I smoke a third of a pack a day" option. ![]() ![]() |

i dont agree with smoking around children?? does anyone else feel the same? I hate with a passion. The other day at the grocery store I saw a man with a child. He lit his cigarette before he got into the car. That poor child was in the car with the windows closed while the man smoked. For crying out loud, the man could have smoked while he was outside walking to the car. ![]() |

Smokers are like animals now, we sit in a cage and parents walk by with their kids and stare at our gnarling teeth and claim to their children "you don't want to grow up like that monster, do you Charles?". |

I only smoked some in my teens. I have good friends that smoke but I stand back from them. I try to be respectful of them and they of me. Stuff makes me want to barf. We all have habits, though.

As an occasional smoker myself...I have to say...It sucks. Im convinced I cant get a date because Im fat and I smoke. And Im not that fat, Im a sz 12 and I litterally smoke maybe 1 cigarette a day, if that. I know, why smoke at all you ask...because I have the urge to smoke more, but Im really trying to ditch them all together. And Im hitting the gym more and skating harder.

Smoked since I was 12, and stopped when I was preggo three times. Stopped again for 9 mo, then again for 2 yrs. Started back up in 06, and quit again 13 days ago. I have COPD, chronic brochitis, asthma and my gramma is dying of it. her dad had it as well and smoked till the day he died when he was 96. That I just don't understand. I never intend on touching another cig as long as I live but I will never ever scold anyone who smokes either. Just as there are considerate smokers, there are considerate non-smokers. Intolerance stinks as much as cig smoke.
