WoW!!! you are smitten with yourself one word comes to mind, but your so smart you should be able to figure out what I am thinking

OK - you got me. I'll stop.

Man, you really got to me with your comment.

After considering what you said I have to agree and being so ego-centric is definitely something I don't find appealing.

Thanks for the reality check.

I've scanned these 11 pages, so far. I didn't see anybody mention second-hand smoke.

So, yes, it's your life and you have the free will to destroy it, if you want, but that is not the whole issue.

Other people will probably inhale the crap you exhale and they have to live with the filth you leave behind. It's not all about you.

This is actually an interesting point. Both my parents were heavy smokers. As a teenager, I used to get sore-throats and bronchitis very freqeuntly, especially in the winter. When I went to college, they magically stopped. It took a while for me to make the connection. 30 years after moving out, I don't remember the last time I had either sore throat or bronchitis.

Meanwhile, I eventually got to watch both my parents die from smoking related cancers. Not much fun there.

As for the OP? It's your life, do what you're gonna do.

Funny story. I started smoking because of those Truth commercials that ran 24/7 on college area TV.
