Can't imagine he could be that reckless. I can remember several times handling tragic events as a Policeman where someone was burned badly or died from trying to smoke while on Oxygen. I sometimes think now and then that a Smoke might be OK until I walk by someone smoking and it doesn't even smell good !<br />You behave yourself !! sending down love from the North, Gary and Anna MaeGary B Woodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-40791102620941617842021-11-20T12:45:54.975-05:002021-11-20T12:45:54.975-05:00One thing I can't stand, is the smell of cigar...One thing I can't stand, is the smell of cigarette smoke, I don't mind a good cherry tobacco scent tho. My FIL used to smoke cigars and pipes, a different scent entirely. Anyway, no, never did smoke, except for second hand from my dad and sister....I was glad the day my dad said, I quit, cold turkey, and he did ! My main squeeze never smoked either. He does chew tobacco tho........and yes, I hate it. I'm glad your family kicked the habit. Here's to your better health so you can walk more of the App. trails.<br />Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week. It's my turn to cook.<br />loven'hugs from up north where the deer hunting season has begun.

I heard quitting heroin was easier than quitting smoking. I've never smoked and neither has my husband. We are glad about that. My husband's cousin is on life support. He collapsed at home a week ago. It's not looking good. I don't judge, but the best thing is just never start smoking in the first place, because once you do, they'll be a time you'll want to quit and it will be the hardest thing you ever do. I'm pretty sure your wife is happy you're a former smoker.

I report, you decide. Yes, addiction in any form is bad and hard to break. Smoking is why my sister has her health problems even though she quit about 5yrs ago. I'm just glad I never had the urge. I hate the smell of cig smoke...and after working in surgery and seeing what a cigarette does to you I just never wanted that. Do I eat sweets or carbs? Yep and I've been on a new diet and have lost over 20lbs. A few more to go to feel like I'm on the right health path. It's not easy as I do like my sweets. Just takes discipline and a good reason to quit an addiction. My heart goes out to those addicted to anything. yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.com
