"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
I always thought cigarettes were cancer sticks. That's what my sister told us when she came home from nursing school. So my parents both stopped smoking. By the time she graduated, my sister had started smoking.
Smoking's bad for you, no doubt, and I gave up tobacco almost seven years ago, but the truth is, I don't think I'd have given up a single cigar or cigarette that I ever smoked if I had it to do over again. I loved the stuff, and it got me through many tense and worrisome situations.

Dad smoked 4 packs a day his entire life, until he had a heart attack at age 64 or so.
