I smoke, so does the misses.

Smoking is without a doubt bad for you, and those around you. Both of us got hooked as kids and have yet to be able to put 'em down.
It has never been a matter of "cool" and I, even when dating did not find it more or less attractive for a person to or not smoke.

As a teen, I did find mild drug use attractive. Thinks like a joint here or there or maybe a bit of acid on the weekends, but of course experiance and hightened responsibillity have reversed that opinion.

My opinion on smoking remains simply this: Don't start smoking, there are better uses for your money and time. If you do smoke, or have smoked for some time, I understand how difficult it is to put them down. No lechture from me. If you quit, congrates. I'm working on it, don't bug me about it.
